Suspected sockpuppets



Evidence submitted by BlackCab

Within a short period of time User:Matrix356 edited his own page, and then User:Jehonathan's user page, then Jehonathon's talk page (where he deleted his outburst, marking it as a minor edit) before continuing 12 minutes later with an edit to his own user page. Both accounts were created within three hours of each other and both are active on remarkably similar articles. Both write with a similarly mangled English. Matrix356 declared a dispute involving Jehonathan is over, evidently reading Jehonathan's mind. BlackCab (talk) 13:13, 14 August 2010 (UTC)

Comments by other users

This is a case of meatpuppetry rather than a sock. User:Matrix356 essentially acknowledged as much at his User Talk page. He created his account today and immediately engaged in the same debate as User:Jehonathan, who he says he knows personally. His first ever edit was a Third Opinion request, which is not typical of a new user.--Jeffro77 (talk) 13:37, 14 August 2010 (UTC)

Clerk, patrolling admin and checkuser comments

They both edit exactly the same, their motives are both the same (though that's obvious), and they're both marking all their edits as minor. The only conclusion I can come to is that they're the same person. Both accounts indefinitely blocked and tagged. –MuZemike 22:36, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
