Comments

Could the sockpuppet be blocked for at least the same period as the sockpuppeteer? Macspaunday (talk) 14:45, 3 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This diff [1] leads me to believe that they are the same. Please see the results of the UserCompare tool. Steve Crossin (talk) (review) 04:23, 3 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sock blocked for two weeks. _GB^T/C 13:03, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
