* {{checkuser|Fact check}}

[[User:Fact check|Fact check]] is a new user who immediately began removing any text with a <nowiki>{{fact}}</nowiki> attached. I find it remarkable that a new user would know to create a purpose specific name and from the get-go be enforcing a tiny part of policy without having a history here first. On the assumption that this was just a purpose specific account created by another user, I requested on his/her talk page that the user mention who they used to be/what their other ID is. The user has been cagey, asking why I need to know. Perhaps it's a completely innocent purpose driven account, but I'm beginning to wonder if it's possible that this user might be someone coming back as a new ID to sharpen a [[WP:POINT]] about verifiability. If a casual CU is possible, it would be nice to verify that this is not someone who is currently under censure. - [[User:Chairboy|C<small>HAIRBOY]]</small>]] ([[User_talk:Chairboy|☎]]) 23:39, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

I've indentified the operator of the account, but as he's a user in good standing I'm not going to take any action. [[User:Mackensen|Mackensen]] [[User_talk:Mackensen|(talk)]] 23:56, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

:Thanks, Mackensen! That's all I wanted to know. Regards, [[User:Chairboy|C<small>HAIRBOY</small>]] ([[User_talk:Chairboy|☎]]) 01:18, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

:I'll be the judge of that, thank you very much. [[User:Mackensen|Mackensen]] [[User_talk:Mackensen|(talk)]] 14:05, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

::Your welcome. --[[User:Zer0faults]] 01:10, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

How did you, in your decision come away with a conclusion that the user was not failing "Avoiding scrutiny from other editors" from [[WP:SOCK]]. If they were doing this to avoid comments to their main user about the [[WP:V]] policy as interpreted by those who placed the tags then they may be violating legitimate uses of sock puppets.
