This user is using these IP addresses as means to prevent image orphaning which is one of his main motives regarding the Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends satellite articles. A WHOIS check on the IP addresses indicate they possibly originate in Little Rock, AZ but the sockpuppeteer made it evident they were connected after edits to my talkpage.
 * Evidence

Hello, it's me,  L D E J R u f f , and I just wanted to appologize for my actions to Treelo, and I will never do anything like that again. I've been this way ever since I got banned from Never Forgotten by Cynthia "Sparky" Read, and I'm still angry at her, and Tina "CGAussie" Fazzalari for hating my videos at YouTube, and kaytea who betrayed me (and I'm pretty sure she has a Wikipedia account here). But nonetheless, I'm sorry, and I'll never abuse anyone ever again. And BTW, Treelo, I'm not from Little Rock, AZ, I'm from Campbellsville, KY.  L D E J R u f f  ( talk ) 13:01, 12 January 2008 (EDT)

 * Your issues are your own and an irrelevancy to this case, don't bring them here. I still believe that the IP addresses and your account are linked given the same motives even with the discrepancy between locations. -- treelo talk 14:28, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I said that I am sorry. I do not want to get kicked out of Wikipedia, like how I got kicked out of Never Forgotten. Also, I only posed as those IP Addresses so that I can get your attention, to reply in my talk page. As I said before, I do not want to get kicked out of Wikipedia, and, as the slogan says, it is an encyclopedia in which anyone, or should I say "everyone", can edit, including me!

 * Being blocked can be temporary, not permanent. Even if you are blocked, you can certainly come back and edit after your block.

User has confirmed they used both IP addresses as sockpuppets. -- treelo talk 20:55, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Conclusions

Accordingly, I recommend this case be withdrawn/removed until such a time as specific and convincing evidence can be presented (assuming WP:SOCK violations currently exist or come into existence in the future). This discussion can always be referenced later if needed. — BQZip01 — talk 01:41, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Comments by uninterested
 * 1) Specific evidence of sockpuppetry seems to be lacking here. The only way to find it is to wade through the edits of a user and 2 IPs. Given the backlog in this section, this is a major problem with this nomination. Without specific evidence, this is going to be too time-consuming to research. IMHO, your case should be made before submitting it here, not after.
 * 2) Just because a registered user uses an IP address, it does not mean they are in violation of WP:SOCK. I myself have used an IP address to mention a few things and make posts (I cannot log in at work, though I can edit via an IP address). As long as you are not using it in a malicious manner, I see no reason to block someone for such a violation.
 * It does not appear that any administrator action is required, so I am archiving this report. Jehochman Talk 02:38, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
