Prior case was closed just days ago - (can't find proper link anymore). Gone To The Library's only edit, ever, (Special:Contributions/Gone_To_The_Library contribs) is to the gratin talk page, again insisting we go by two references already in the page. . Looks like a duck test situation, and matchees TOH's behavior with User:Michael Grossman, another of his socks. Accidentally opened as Suspected sock puppets/Believe It Or Not (2nd), and tried to fix, had to open second case, so sorry. Mixed up sock and puppeteer. ThuranX (talk) 21:32, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Have anything more than just one edit? Unfortunately it's not a huge amount for me to go on :-/ Scarian  Call me Pat!  06:00, 7 January 2009 (UTC)


 * To be honest, it screams of a WP:DUCK situation, and I'd like to nip it in the bud. You can compare it, as I said, to the Michael Grossman sock's behavior, showing up immediately and throwing it's weight behind one POV. Further, the comment made is clearly reactive to events ongoing and in a tone that indicates that the writer is already a part of the conversation. Seems like enough to me, but I'm both involved and not an admin, so I can't block on DUCK grounds. Further, given his account hopping and IP using manner, I'd like to establish a good base for requesting semi-prot, should that become necessary. Thanks. ThuranX (talk) 06:23, 7 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Yes, damn it, I didn't pay attention to the "conversational tone". Blocked indef, leaving the first one unblocked as he'll get suckered by the autoblock. Nice catch ThuranX. Scarian  Call me Pat!  06:30, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
