 * Report submission by


 * Evidence
 * Racky pt


 * The account was created two days after the blocking of Vinay412's most recent sockpuppet


 * The user requested unblocking of Vinay412's IP address and criticised deletion of one of Vinay 412's articles here


 * He said here that he has edited the talk page of User:Greg_dn, a sockpuppet of Vinay412 but the edit he refers to (here) was actually made by Greg_dn.


 * His edits and comments are confined to articles edited by Vinay412. Particularly Female body shape where he has been gradually restoring the article to the state it was left in by Vinay412 - for example here, which is commented as "recovered from old version" and here where he archived critical comments on the talk page before doing another reversion.


 * He appears to be about to recreate one of Vinay412's deleted articles (see here).


 * 202.41.72.100
 * He signed himself as Vinay412 here


 * His editing pattern is identical with Vinay412


 * Comments

 * i accept sockpuppetry. im soon using Changing_username to stop using sockpuppet user:racky pt. as sockpuppets are allowed in wikipedia as long as edits made in good faith, i challenge any ban in advance. Vinay412 07:55, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
 * * i confirm above statement Racky pt 07:58, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Closing admin, please note that the purpose of this sockpuppetry was to evade a block (which had already been extended because of another instance of sockpuppetry) and that the user's edits during this time were disruptive. andy 08:06, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
 * it was to evade block but evading is allowed in Blocking_policy, you can see this in user:racky pt's first contribution. Even earlier sockpuppet was not disruptive you may go through earlier user:greg dn's contributions, that admin's decision was wrong. Racky pt 09:21, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
 * im continuing user:racky pt until i change username of vinay412 Racky pt 09:37, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
