(Please note more names at [[User:Ral315/ForestH2 sockpuppets]], as well as a request for more checks.)

This RFCU was initiated because of the now-withdrawn RfA of Sugarpine ([[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Sugarpine]]). This user admitted to being ForestH2, which is all well and good, but the first few supports made me wonder. The names Sugarpine, Streamwater, and RainbowSwirl strike me as very similar in their inspiration and combination of words. Add to this that RainbowSwirl's only edits have been to create a userpage first thing (so that it's not a redlink?) and then to support a few adminships, including that of Sugarpine. Add to this the similarity of Streamwater's and RainbowSwirl's userpages, and I felt compelled to request a checkuser, after giving Sugarpine/ForestH2 a chance to admit to it quietly.

::I don't want to make this too long, and I don't know what sort of cross-wiki powers you have, but [http://simple.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrators&diff=prev&oldid=199054 RfA on Simple] at almost exactly the same time might also be of interest.

I am an admin over on simple: and I recently blocked five user accounts there that belong to this same person. I would recommend STRONGLY that you check out [[User:Treebark]] and [[User:Carmelapple]] as being related to ForestH2. In addition to these, two brand-new accounts were created just to vote in is RFA over there on simple:. -- [[User:Netoholic|Netoholic]] [[User talk:Netoholic|@]] 05:03, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

{{confirmed}} on ENWP except in regard to [[User:Carmelapple]] for which data are inconclusive. [[User:UninvitedCompany|The Uninvited]] Co., [[User_talk:UninvitedCompany|Inc.]] 20:03, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

:Thank you very much. I don't know the intricacies of checkuser, but is it possible to tell whether there are other sock accounts lurking? The number and the timing of these sockpuppets, in addition to this user's last comments after this RFCU was filed make me believe that they will continue to edit Wikipedia, and would probably have no compunction about using sockpuppets again/some more.

::::Because a steward confirmed that he was a sockpuppet. See above conversation. [[User:Makemi|Mak]] [[User_talk:Makemi|<fontspan colorstyle="color:green;">[[User_talk:Makemi|(talk)]]</fontspan>]] 19:36, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

:::::I'm looking, and all I see is that the data on Carmelapple were inconclusive. Can you be a bit more specific? [[User:LtPowers|Powers]] ^{<small><small>[[User talk:LtPowers|T]]</small></small>} 16:10, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

I talked to [[User:Danny]] who used information from both simple and here to confirm that Carmelapple is a sockpuppet of ForestH2, which should not be at all surprising at this point, since he has been lieing about his sockpuppets even after he was caught.
