Y'all might apologize to Sm565. Whig 23:40, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

Maybe they're just friends. Apparently Sm565 knows homeopaths from Greece. diff Tim Vickers 00:35, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

Maybe, except the IP of the unknown user was from New York, no? Whig 03:43, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

Whig, uh, no. A failed RfCU is not evidence that sockpuppets do not exist. See WDM's comments below. OrangeMarlin ^{Talk• Contributions} 00:48, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

Or the same individual using a different computer at a different location. I think that the "unrelated" template isn't necessarily correct, since simply not having related IP's or proxies doesn't mean that the two editors are actually "unrelated". A better conclusion is that no evidence exists proving that they are indeed related. Wikidudeman ^(talk) 00:51, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

There is circumstantial evidence of a sockpuppet. I remember a recent case where an admin was using a sockpuppet to get themselves to be an admin. The puppet and puppeteer were at two different IP's--it appears that when they travelled on business, it would use the puppet. That case required extensive documentation, which I don't see here. When I make a sockpuppet charge I do the case first, and the RfCU later. I have had socks banned even without the confirming RfCU, because smart people can hide their IP's.

Maybe he is someone like the users who appear only to revert edits. Who knows?--Sm565 02:40, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

Let's clarify this. Do you deny using a sockpuppet, or knowing the recent user identified as Naftilos? Whig 02:52, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

I have to talk to my lawyer before I make my final statement. --Sm565 04:58, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

I agree that this is absurd. Whig 05:27, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
