After an extended edit war on 666 Park Avenue, I blocked for 24 hours. The dispute surrounded whether to include a link to Facebook (see ). After they were blocked, the IP linked above and the brand-new account   made the same reverts that the blocked Wattlebird had been doing. The newness of the IP and the user account, as well as the close time proximity of the block and their creation, lead me to believe they are socks of Wattlebird as an attempt to edit through his original block.

Additional timeline note, the MyLeftNut account was created about 10 minutes after the initial block. --Lord Roem ~ (talk) 22:22, 4 February 2013 (UTC)

It's all true.

Would like to say though, when considering the length of time to take me out of action for (a week/month etc), take into consideration that absolutely no edits under the guise of sockpuppets were of a destructive nature and actually resulted in a resolution to the conflict on the 666 Park Avenue article. Sure there was the whole block-evading, but it was all with good intention.

 * Closing with no action taken, but Wattlebird, if this happens again, it will result in a block of anywhere from a week to indef. Rschen7754 21:39, 7 February 2013 (UTC)
