I am still new to this and all I did was add a comment on a talk page without loging in. I then corrected it per Smeelgova's request. So that I was known as the author of the edit instead of my IP address. Spruceforest 16:11, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Evidence
 * Obvious use of sockpuppet for anonymous vandalism, at: 1st instance, 2nd instance, 3rd instance, 4th instance, 5th instance
 * Sockpuppet IP address warned for vandalism four separate times by four different editors: 1st warning, 2nd warning, 3rd warning, 4th warning
 * Sockpuppet IP address used here to sign comment by IP addresss initial comment, Signature added by Spruceforest
 * Comments

Further Comments- Forgetting to log in is not being a sock puppet according to what I have read. I simply did not log in. I understand more about Wikipedia now and I will make sure that I am logged in when I edit. I also understand that while Smeelgova is accusing me of something, she also wants to make sure that everyone follows the rules. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Spruceforest (talk • contribs).


 * COMMENT: - Again, it is quite simple to note above that this was most likely not just a matter of "forgetting to log in". The user was warned four separate times for vandalism, by four different editors.  Smee 07:03, 30 January 2007 (UTC).


 * Spruceforest - Until Smeelgova pointed it out, I never even saw a warning on an IP address page. I now understand better what the deal is here. I am not on Wikipedia as often as she is. Spruceforest 02:58, 3 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Smee - It can clearly be shown from the number of warnings of vandalism from different individual editors to this user and to the user's sockpuppet IP address, that these are not innocent one-time events but a pattern of utilizing a sockpuppet IP address for vandalism. Smee 07:17, 3 February 2007 (UTC).
 * Spruceforest - I am not sure what Smeelgova's deal is, but 3 of the 5 instances that she is refering to happened before I signed up for a wikipedia log in. I have said everything that I am going to say about this. Spruceforest 16:36, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Smee - Check the user's inappropriate usage of IP address sockpuppet, and multiple warnings from different editors, and judge for yourself... Smee 07:16, 8 February 2007 (UTC).
