Evidence

Connected Usernames, I'm about to perform a WHOIS check to see if they share the same I.P

What? You need a name (talk) 16:12, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

WHOIS check? There's no IP involved or am I mistaken? Also, can you state why was the suspected sockpuppet used in violation of the policy? Regards, Snowolf 16:14, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

This is a regular alternate account. I don't see any problems with it. You need a name (talk) 16:16, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
By the way, it appears that the main account is I need a name (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · page moves · block user · block log), as it was created back in 2005 rather then You need a name (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · page moves · block user · block log) that was created recently. cf38, can you provide a reason why you think that the accounts were used in violation of the policy? I've reviewed the contributions and I haven't found any. Snowolf 16:23, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
You need a name can you kindly drop a line here from I need a name to confirm that you control both accounts? Thanks, Snowolf 16:23, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
Well the names to me seem connected (You need a name/I need a name) But if they are not, I'm sorry for any trouble, as I just thought it was a bit suspicious. cf38 16:45, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
Multiple accounts are allowed. Snowolf 16:46, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
Pardon me for saying, but if multiple accounts are permitted what's all this about sockpuppets?cf38 16:48, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
Sockpuppet != Multiple account. A sockpuppet is a an alternate account used deceptively. In particular, using two usernames to vote more than once in a poll or to circumvent Misplaced Pages policies is forbidden. From WP:SOCK. Snowolf 16:51, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
