[edit] It's like this...
Suppose we have sockpuppet A. We are fairly sure that it is editor B, who is not actually blocked. Sockpuppet A is disrupting things, so is blocked. But puppeteer B is still able to continue activities. We request checkuser under what code? Guy (Help!) 20:13, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
- Well, any could. Is the puppeteer evading some kind of ban (for example, an article ban)? Are they using the sockuppet to disrupt AFD? Etc. Etc. ad nauseam. The best thing to do is make the case for why you think the two are sockpuppets, then read the list of codes to see which one fits best. I don't know about others, but I put far more weight on the merit of the request, rathter than which code has been selected. If there is good cause to believe a blocked user (even if it's the "sockpuppet") is evading a block, then we will take a look. Essjay (Talk) 01:45, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
