Nonsensical edit to UTV article, as with User:Books305060. Similar theme, similar writing style, same date for "event". Diff:

 * May be a match. First and only contrib by Pizza30 was July 21, two days after Books305060 was indefinitely blocked and, likewise, two days after Books305060 contributed to the very same article.  Note also the very similar names, "(word)30..."  The syntax used by both identities is awkward and similar. I would have reversed the designations and said that Pizza30 is the puppet, as that identity has only one contribution, ever. Books305060 has a much longer record and seems more likely to be the puppeteer. Not relevant to the sockpuppet question, but I probably would not have characterized the two contributions as "nonsense" — I understood what they were saying — but as unsourced original research.  -- Lisasmall 17:23, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the feedback - so the proper order would have been to tag User:Books305060 as the primary? I'll keep that in mind. (As for the "nonsense" description, it is because Books305060's contributions have generally been nonsense - the editor has a history of creating hoax pages and purposely adding false information to existing articles.) Thanks again. --Ckatz chat spy  20:45, 21 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Conclusions
 * Yes, I think they are a puppet and puppeteer, and that Pizza30 was created to permit Books305060 evade the block established July 19. I would feel more comfortable saying so definitively if 1. Pizza30 contributes more in the next ten days, providing more writing samples to compare with Books305060's work; and/or 2. a checkuser were performed to see if the come in from the same ISP, household, or community.  -- Lisasmall 17:23, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Please see the user's contribution record - there have been quite a few questionable edits, including another hoax page that was speedy-deleted. --Ckatz chat spy  03:07, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

Likely socks. Both accounts already indef-blocked. MastCell Talk 17:01, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
