I edited Sleachxbhs's userpage some days ago to remove unfree images (per WP:FUC#9). Some time after, my user page was vandalized by the newly created user account User:Flashriver47. It's seems Sleachxbhs forgot to logout his puppet account and edited his user own page using the puppet account by mistake (the edition, by the way, was a call to ban-me from Wikipedia). To be sure that it was really sockpuppetry taking place, I asked Sleachxbhs if he was being serious when he asked for my ban. That was the chance for hm to say "Hey! I don't know who put that on my user page!". But instead, his response ("...I was being mostly sarcastic,...") confirmed that he was behind the User:Flashriver47 account. --Abu badali (talk) 20:48, 11 February 2007 (UTC) I am arguing the same case that i posted on Abu Badali's talk page:

"Accusing Sleachxbhs of sockpuppetrty Hey. That was'nt me (it was my friend actually) but I can see how you would susspect me of doing that. If you look at my history of edits, you'll see that i have never done anything like that before, so why would I start now. I'm just trying to help out Wikipedia and create and edit articles that I am interested in. How about we just forget this ever happened, and just let me continue on doing what i am doing? And I take responsability for those images that conflicted with the fair use and have deleted them from my page. Thanks for understanding. --Sleachxbhs 22:12, 12 February 2007 (UTC)"

To conclude, my friend did not know that this would get me in trouble, as he is not a regular Wikipedia user.

 * Looks probable, but given Sleachxbhs' statement and the lack of activity from Flashriver47, I think no action is required. --Akhilleus (talk) 02:13, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Closing, since Flashriver47 is not an active account. --Akhilleus (talk) 16:17, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
