*{{checkuser|NBGPWS}}

It has been raised on the admin noticeboard [[Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents#User:NBGPWS]] that [[User:NBGPWS]] may be a single-use sockpuppet account. I don't know what the master account would be, but it would likely be very easy to determine from the IP address.

{{Clerk-Note}} While the checkusers will make a final determination, these type of requests are usually rejected. Assuming the theories on the noticeboard are correct (a regular user has created a single purpose account to edit a particular article and is being disruptive there), in the past that has not been enough to warrant exposing the user's main account. If the user is causing problems s/he should be treated at face value as any other disruptive editor. A case describing a more long-term or widespread problem covering multiple articles is more likely to be accepted. [[User talk:Thatcher131|Thatcher131 (talk)]] 19:54, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
