puppetmaster creates puppet's account page (apparently forgot which name he'd logged in) followed immediately by blatant sockpuppet tampering with consensus-building processs (puppet supports & agrees with puppetmaster's unpopular position):
 * Evidence

Furthermore, this user's sockpuppetry is not confined to the one discussion, as it seems; here is another instance of the puppet supporting & agreeing with the puppetmaster, and this diff shows the puppet deleting text critical of the puppetmaster from a talk page.

Puppetmaster 842U's general behaviour lately has been problematic (WP:EW, WP:UGH, WP:3RR, WP:NPA); see and follow 3RR warning and this and subsequent diffs
 * Comments

The evidence in support of this allegation is very strong. On every day that BMWR1200C edited, 842U also edited, and in some cases they edited within five or 20 minutes of one another. If proof of this is needed, I will post the diffs. They both edited Honda Pacific Coast and its talk page on the same day in February 2008, and they've been hacking away at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Automobiles over the last few days. I can't point to a single "gotcha" violation such as bypassing 3RR, but overall, this sort of behavior is totally unacceptable. Let's do an indef-block on BMWR1200C and a one-month block on 842U, to be reduced to one week if 842U apologizes and shows remorse. I'll request a checkuser to make sure, but I'll be honestly surprised if these are two different people. Shalom (Hello • Peace) 04:51, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
