;Suspected sockpuppets

;Evidence submitted by —Kww(talk)

Edit pattern makes identity obvious: exists solely to insert false chart data into Katy Perry and RBD articles. MCBD became active only while 200.109.200.187 was soft-blocked. Once that account reached final warning state, editing ceased for a bit, and then the IP became active again.

It is probable that MCBD was created in anticipation of semi-protection. It was created before target articles were semi-protected, and then used to edit Madonna articles until it was a confirmed editor. Since this suggests anticipation, it is likely that the editor has done this before. I would like to see a sweep to detect if there are other socks that are either lying in wait or have already been used.—Kww(talk) 19:07, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
