 * Comments
 * Please remember to notify all accounts listed as possibly linked to the sock puppetry in question (instructions).


 * Conclusions
 * Agreed with conclusions and evidence - easily passes WP:Duck. Users Kikbguy and Tulaneadam21 blocked as sockpuppeteer and sockpuppet respectively. If necessary I will further block anon IP's.  Please come to my talk page to let me know if that is needed.-- VS  talk 00:14, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Kikbguy2 also indefinitely blocked as a sockpuppet.-- VS talk 01:12, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
