;Evidence

Accounts were created within 24 hours of each other: Robertomalancini at 21:33, 27 March 2007 (UTC) and Roberto ludendorff at 19:09, 28 March 2007 (UTC). Both accounts dove right into the Talk:Brazil page, arguing that current page does not accurately depict the Brazilian economy. See [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Brazil&diff=prev&oldid=118449051 Robertomalancini's first edit] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Brazil&diff=prev&oldid=118680249 Roberto ludendorff's first edit] less than 24 hours later. Robertomalancini then gives a [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Brazil&diff=prev&oldid=118898850 supporting reply], even saying that "[he does] not know who is Roberto Ludendorff. But his number of publications criterium is a good indicator in science, as is the number of citations." It would seem unusual that Robertomalancini would know of Roberto Ludendorff's publication record if he does not know of the other Roberto.

Their signatures are also similar, with a Wikilink to their user pages (non yet created) followed by their names again. See above links, as well as [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Brazil&diff=prev&oldid=118975723], [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Brazil&diff=prev&oldid=119176217]

Both Robertos, I suspect, are sockpuppets of another user or an unregistered IP, but it is not clear who that person would be (although I suppose a first registration cannot be truly called "sockpuppetry"). There was a previous conversation of a similar vein [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Brazil&oldid=119017070#Too_beautiful_to_be_true], with two IPs that spoke of a similar position: 201.27.181.198 and 201.78.18.221. However, the IPs are from different ISPs (see [http://www.lacnic.net/cgi-bin/lacnic/whois?lg=EN&query=201.27.181.198], [http://www.lacnic.net/cgi-bin/lacnic/whois?lg=EN&query=201.78.18.221]). Therefore I am only raising attention to these two possible sockpuppets for now.

;Conclusions

Maybe they're the same person, but I see no evidence of policy violation. Closing with no action. --Akhilleus (talk) 02:55, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
