 * Evidence
 * As with the 1st sockpuppet case {IP 190.53.15.171) Cartagenagirl and 66.161.18.212 both Vandalize the Nicaragua article, particularly over the tourism section and the crime subsection (on El Salvador article).
 * Here Cartagenagirl is seen vandalizing the article (tourism section) removing sourced information without giving prior notice or a countersource.
 * In the previous diff the text left on the edit summary is extremely similar to the previous ones left by 190.53.15.171 previous sock puppets and
 * As seen here on the previous sockpuppet case sockpuppeteer 190.53.15.171 had a long history of vandalism and personal attacks, personal attacking mostly me. Here, user 66.161.18.212 chooses to personally attack me.
 * Also notice many of the previous sockpuppets claimed Nicaragua has the most is extremely poor, corrupt governments, or something along that line linking corruption and Nicaragua. See here by Bacanaleranica  and here by 66.161.18.212.
 * When vandalizing the San Salvador article by erasing the crime sub-section 66.161.18.212 uses an edit summary very similar to the previous sock puppet (which erased the same section). Edit by 66.161.18.212 and edit by previous sockpuppet.
 * When user 66.161.18.212 personally attacked me here, notice they wrote the header ( ==CRIME== ) in uppercase letter, as did previous sockpuppet Bacanaleranica here.
 * When Cartagenagirl posted her "concern" over the tourism section in nicaragua in her edit summary she said editors had merely contributed what they call a "fairy tale" (see here . Previous sockpuppet Bacanaleranica also stated the toursim section was a "fairy tale" as seen here.
 * Many similarities occur in all the suspected (and past) sockpuppeteers. Lack of uppercase, commas, periods, ect. Also how the user would always put my name in parenthesis ("lanicoya"), most commonly in undercase letters. See user 66.161.18.212 here and the past confirmed sockpuppeteers here     (by Bacanaleranica) here   (by Holand) and here  (by Judith Gonzales).


 * Comments


 * Conclusions
 * I'm not sure about Cartagenagirl, but I've just blocked 66.161.18.212 for a week for its edit to User:LaNicoya. That IP has made the same kind of edits as 190.53.15.171, but it looks like it's dynamically assigned and shouldn't be blocked for a long period. --Akhilleus (talk) 03:03, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
