 * Agree that sockpuppetry is quite probable here. Behaviour and interests seems matched. Something unusual about the Zeitgeist Films account, though: the user creation log has no entry for the creation of this account.&mdash;Kww(talk) 15:49, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

 * While 'Nardo was created on July 8, it's clear that there's something fishy about how he immediately removes a speedy template on his first edit. I have a feeling that there's sock/meatpuppetry here. ( X! ·  talk )  · @937  · 21:29, 29 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Username blocks don't give rise to block evasion problems; if Bernardo is Zeitgeist Films, he's free to edit. Nathan  T 21:30, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
 * SPI was started before Zeitgeist's username block. Wuh  Wuz  Dat  21:47, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
 * At most its a 3RR violation; neither account has edited in two weeks, does it seem like blocking is necessary at this point? Nathan  T 21:52, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
