 * Report submission by

Mac created a redirect to a non-existent page (bioasphalt) and linked to it in several places. ,,. He was subsequently reverted several times and warned about inserting inappropriate links (for this and similar instances) here. Since then, two entirely new users have appeared who have only inserted the bioasphalt link. and. Given that PLEASE EXPLAIN! asked why the link that they placed was removed before they even placed it,, he/she is obviously Lammys (who had placed the link and been reverted the same day, see difs above). Given the obscurity of the bioasphalt redirect, and Mac's non-repentance for inserting the links, one can only assume that this is Mac attempting to avoid scrutiny.
 * Evidence

This appears to be User:Mac's first time around at Suspected sock puppets, not his second; it seems there was some error when creating the report (using Twinkle). I shan't venture an opinion on the report itself, just stopping by from the Help Desk! :-) -- tiny plastic Grey Knight &#x2296; 07:23, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Meta-comment

Interesting. I didn't know he/she had been suspected before. I'm having trouble finding that information though. NJGW (talk) 00:17, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

 * What STUPIDITY !!!!!!!! are you saying. I am not Lammy, I am not PLEASE EXPLAIN !!!!!!!. Really, you are not a reasonable person and you persecute to every people thinks in a different way to you, as me. I repead it one more time. I AM NOT LAMMY. I AM NOT PLEASE EXPLAIN!. I AM MAC. --Mac (talk) 07:08, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

NJGW has done a false accusation. It looks like he does not like alternative fuels and products to petroleum and nuclear power and tries censorship against me. On the other hand, soaring petroleum and asphalt prices have lead consumers to BIOasphalt. Sorry, but it is the true. --Mac (talk) 07:08, 3 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Lammys and PLEASE EXPLAIN are clearly the same user. I am not so sure that Mac is related to either as most of his contributions appear sound. The redirect to bioasphalt) might have simply been a spelling error, as a page Bioasphalt does exist. I would dobut very much that a checkuser would find anything untoward. Fianlly, the issue of whether the submission by NJGW is sound needs to be considered. I noticed that NJGW does edits in similar fields to that of Mac and I wonder if there is some underlying issue between them.  If nothing else, the fact that they both edit in the same are of interest is a clear conflict of interest. Olana North (talk) 10:46, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I think you should keep digging. Bioasphalt only became an article on the 9th (and Mac has thanked me on my talk page for helping him with it).  Reasonable editors with whom I work often have similar sentiments, even those with whom I have disagreements.  I think Mac is generally reasonable, except (so far) when it comes to the redirect issues.  I don't know if these are truly his socks, but again the bioasphalt redirect was extremely obscure, so I made this page to nip any socking in the bud.  While that may have been the case (for now), I would like to point out that there is another editor who thinks that Mac has other socks, the merits of which I can't yet comment on as I haven't dug too far into the evidence yet.


 * As far as a coi goes, I don't think someone who doesn't edit with an editor would notice possible socking activities. Pretty hard to pick-up-on what you're not looking at.  NJGW (talk) 21:57, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

Assuming good faith with Mac. The two SSPs are blocked indefinitely.  Enigma  message 18:23, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
