Evidence

Gavin bear posted both speedy deletion and hangon tags to the Conan O'Brien page claiming that Conan O'Brien has requested the speedy deletion.[[1]]. I reverted this page [2] because it makes no sense - someone who posted for speedy deletion has no reason to add the hangon tag.

In the appropriate talk page, Gavin bear actually claims to be Conan O'Brien.[3].

At which point, Egyptiancamel posted to my user talk page, claiming to be both Conan O'Brien and the person who put up the speedy delete notice on that page [4]. Edward321 00:05, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

Comments

From that last link, Egyptiancamel is clearly claiming to be Gavin bear and both are claiming to be Conan O'Brien. That's a clear admission of sockpuppetry. Edward321 00:05, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

Conclusions

• Um, I don't think that's as clear an admission as you think, but these accounts are obviously the same person anyway. However, I don't see any violations of WP:SOCK, so there's no reason to do anything here. --Akhilleus (talk) 18:13, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
