;Evidence

{{Userlinks|Itzwiki}} is an abusive sockpuppet of {{Userlinks|Hatewatcher}} being used to upload :Image:Contract 0081.jpg, an image which constitutes unreferenced negative information concerning a living person, in violation of WP:BLP, and which is identical to :Image:Kevin strom contract.jpg, uploaded by Hatewatcher, which was speedily deleted pursuant to CSD G10. Itzwiki has also [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Kevin_Alfred_Strom&diff=next&oldid=145289457 placed] the WP:BLP violating image in {{la|Kevin Alfred Strom}} just as Hatewatcher [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Kevin_Alfred_Strom&diff=131438746&oldid=130909459 did].

;Comments

This is simply false. I do not know the username Itzwiki, have never used this user name, and proof of that can easily be had from our IP addresses. I have, originally, registered another username which used my real name but that was years ago, and I stopped using it for privacy reasons. Itzwiki is someone else.

:The diffs by John are damning. One thing is for certain: Itzwiki must be a sock puppet of somebody. His only edits have been to this single article. Shalom ^Hello 14:08, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

:The diffs by John (whoever John is) are not my problem. I don't care what you say, I am not Itzwiki, I have never been Itzwiki, and I have never even heard of Itzwiki. Look at the IP addresses. Let's have them out in the open. These childish accusations are nonsense. HateWatcher 05:30, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

::There has been ZERO evidence presented, and in fact the case is simply wrong. I am requesting a speedy closure of this absurd and ridiculous false accusation. HateWatcher 22:37, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

;Conclusions

I think these are fairly suspicious for at least being associates, if not sockpuppets. However, at this point I'm going to strongly warn Itzwiki regarding WP:BLP, and close the case there. If there is further evidence of these accounts tag-teaming or being used abusively, I'd suggest going to checkuser (unless it's very clear-cut). MastCell ^Talk 17:07, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
