gavinwims was first brought to my attention when he removed a discussion from my talk page regarding the speedily deletion of Gavin Wims. ([|Diff]) Needless to say, I reverted the edit and left a note on there talk page explaining that all work on wikipedia is licensed under GFDL and that the edit was unnecessary. The user then informed me that he was Gavin Wims and that he wanted "his" name removed from my talk page. ([|1]) I was then informed by the user that by having "his" name on my talk page I was in violation of wikipedia policy. ([|2]) I began to suspect misconduct when he left me [|this] edit on my talk page. But what disturbed me the most was that the user has only one other contribution to wikipedia apart from the ones on my talk page. [|2] This is what lead me to believe that I was dealing with a sockpuppet. So I decided to make an attempt to figure out who the puppet master was (assuming that there was sockpuppetry) I left a note on the administrators notice board asking who created Gavin Wims. An administrator informed me that "The article was created by, and all significant edits came from, User:Jmccarthy96. Happy‑melon 16:52, 10 May 2008 (UTC)" [|3] This is suspicious to say the least. Thank you. Mww113   (talk)    (Report a mistake!) 18:50, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

 * Note how in [3] and [4] user:gavinwims says that he wanted it removed for "personal" reasons that he would only explain in email. Mww113   (talk)    (Report a mistake!) 18:55, 10 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Conclusions

Not enough to prove that the two are the same - it's quite conceivable that one created the page and the other (the subject) didn't want to have a page about them. No breach of policy, no action taken. GBT/C 07:21, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
