is a new user with one edit, to ESADE, the same article which puppetmaster was shown to have interest in in Suspected sock puppets/Deedstar already. Henry Marple's edit added identical text to that added by confirmed sock yesterday, by sock  before that, and by Deedstar before that.
 * Evidence

is a new user with four edits as of this writing, all of them to Requests for adminship/Dreadstar, the user it was shown in the prior case that Deedstar had a particular grudge against. Deedstar made an oppose vote to this candidacy yesterday; suspicion about Deedstar's allegations led directly to the original charges of him/her being a puppetmaster last night. Gareth 1985's oppose vote specifically mentions the prior vote & activities of Deedstar with a tone of mock disapproval (other edits were to change wording & to replace automatic bot signing with his/her own signature). Gareth 1985's first edit was also similar to Deedstar's votes yesterday in being placed in the wrong place in the RfA, so that another editor had to move it. (Deedstar actually placed it wrongly twice, with other users moving it each time to the correct place.)

It looks from here as if this user has gone from being a single purpose to a dual purpose sock, with one purpose being to continue to focus on ESADE, & the other to harass Dreadstar, or at least to disrupt Dreadstar's RfA -- as I predicted in the previous sock case would probably happen. --Yksin 17:07, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
