 * Evidence


 * Noted as a suspected sockpuppet on Benhallums1's user talk page by User:Lambertman, and I must say the quixotic nature of the edits is supportive of that. BenH, before his permanent ban, was - among other things - responsible for repeatedly creating and adding new types of stub templates to the bottom of very long articles about Southeastern US television stations. Benhallums1's MO is identical. This, and the similarity of their usernames, is indicative, to say the least. Grutness...wha?  06:57, 4 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Comments


 * I had been intending to block Benhallums1 for his re-creation of deleted material (yet again... his previous block for the same activity only ended a few hours ago) when I saw User:Lambertman's comments on his user talk page. I added an indefinite block while bringing this here to be confirmed/otherwise. Hope I've done this right... it's the first time I've done this. Grutness...wha?  06:57, 4 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Conclusions

Grutness, as far as I can figure it out, WP:SSP is for non-admins to post to about users they suspect of being sock puppets, then an admin investigates the presented evidence, and blocks or not. From that, if you already blocked the user in question, posting to SSP isn't really useful. Closing as "nothing to do here" - I haven't investigated enough to know what I would have done otherwise, but from a cursory scan of contributions it certainly wasn't out of the question; I won't unblock. --AnonEMouse (squeak) 15:37, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
