- Evidence
User:Frabel recieved several COI complaints about his work to the article Hans Godo Frabel. He stopped making any edits, and the next day User:Crackerjack22 appeared, and started making similar edits, removing the COI tag from the article, and uploading art by Hans Frabel with a GFDL-by-owner tag.
- Comments
It's hard to prove this with so few edits by Crackerjack22, but it looks very likely. Let's wait a week before closing this, and see if any new information presents itself. Shalom Hello 03:11, 12 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- There have been no edits from either account since July 10. This looks like a stale case. Shalom Hello 21:34, 15 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Conclusions
Crackerjack22 is a pretty obvious sock, given their first edit. I've blocked that account indefinitely, as it was being used to avoid scrutiny and sidestep WP:COI. I'm not going to sanction the master account, as it hasn't been used in a while and hopefully this will get the message across. MastCell Talk 22:14, 17 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
