For the last few days, Zelogan has continued to add/re-create an article on the Dennis Kucinich website. After it was speedy deleted, he re-created it. After an AfD that showed a clear consensus for deletion, he re-created it. He was warned repeatedly by an Administrator to stop and was given a final warning earlier today that he was not permitted to re-create the article or he would be banned. Then, User Zel999 appeared and created "Kucinich website" (which has already been deleted) and created a link on the Dennis Kucinich site.
 * Evidence

I suspect Zelogan and Zel999 are the same person, with Zel999 having been created to skirt a warning that was issued to Zelogan to stop recreating deleted content. Since the articles in question have been deleted, I will use their link from the subject's main page as evidence of their activities. Perhaps an admin or someone else will have access to the logs of the deleted articles.

Actions by Zelogan:


 * Kucinich.us article link, 22 Aug
 * Kucinich.us article link, 23 Aug at 07:28
 * Kucinich campaign site article link, 23 Aug at 11:23

Action by Zel999:

It appears that Zel999 has only re-created the Kucinich campaign site article and posted a link to it on the main page; he appears to have no other user contributions

Looks like a clear-cut case of sockpuppetry to me. Similarity in names, same interests, recreated the article after a final warning on his main account. Block, I'd say.  Melsaran  (talk) 12:29, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

 * Conclusions

Clear enough case. Sock blocked indef, puppetmaster blocked 72 hours since (s)he was clearly warned to quit recreating that. Seraphimblade Talk to me 16:58, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
