Evidence submitted by 7oceans

Desperate attempts to attack the subject of a BLP Vivek Kundra from 08/12/2009 to present. Latest attempt to create posting over a contentious material under the ID of TruPrint on 10/21/2009 which was created on the same day. The wording of this posting is almost identical to that posted by SusanLesch, IP 67.243.39.12, and Atama over this period. When Atama stopped reverting edits after 2 attempts, SusanLesch appeared out of nowhere after a month of silence to revert the edit herself. The language and the arguments presented in the discussion section are also practically identical. Relentlessly and purposefully injected controversial subject matter under different IDs in diferent sections.

Wording is practically identical over a three month period and posted at monthly intervals(Interesting - someone has a monthly Outlook appointment):

Comments by accused parties   

See Defending yourself against claims. Hi. Seems to be an attempt to protect the article Vivek Kundra (this says NPOV and COI} rather than anything to do with sockpuppets. In any case I am me and don't use any fake names online. - SusanLesch ( talk) 17:58, 24 October 2009 (UTC) reply

Oh neat, I'm accused of being a sockpuppet now. :) This is new. I support the use of checkuser, I've never edited Wikipedia under any other account. If any of the other people mentioned above are socks, that would be helpful to know as well. -- Atama 頭 18:05, 24 October 2009 (UTC) reply

Let me add, if I'm the same person as Reconsider the static, why did I recently report him to the edit war noticeboard? -- Atama 頭 18:13, 24 October 2009 (UTC) reply

Just in case anyone hasn't noticed the editor who filed this report has been accused of being a sock here. I'm kinda surprised not to be included myself.....

Clerk, patrolling admin and checkuser comments

• There's not a huge amount of valid evidence to consider here, but I think it's important to clear this case.

• All of the above accounts are  Unrelated to each other - Alison ^❤ 18:40, 24 October 2009 (UTC) reply

Conclusions

•  Clerk note: I was about to decline the case, but that is rendered moot by Alison's check. Closing per that. NW ( Talk) 18:45, 24 October 2009 (UTC) reply
