Evidence

For starters, Wrawed is Dewarw backwards. This guy isn't even trying to conceal sockpuppetry.

User:Wrawed pops up on a couple of Harry Potter AfDs to agree with a comment made by User:Dewarw: [1] and [2]

On the Andy Murray article, Wrawed pops up to support Dewarw (Dewarw and Wrawed are editing against consensus in this article and manage to resurrect an edit war that I for one hoped was dead). Here Dewarw issues an unjustified vandalism warning against an editor on his talk page, then Wrawed issued a similar warning on the articles talk page a few minutes later (the editor in question, an IP, was editing in favour of consensus)- before removing Dewarw's warning from the editor's talk page.

Minor stylisitic similarity- both editors have user pages that are redirects to talk pages (or had before I edit then to add sock tags)- Wrawed, Dewarw

Comments

Conclusions

I've indefinitely blocked User:Wrawed as a disruptive sockpuppet. I've asked User:Dewarw for comment; I think it's fairly obvious he's the sockmaster, but would like to hear what he has to say before applying any remedies to that account. MastCell ^Talk 18:09, 31 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
