Evidence submitted by Yworo
User:Jimmy McDaniels recently was restricted by a topic ban from editing Jason Leopold and Truthout. (See this RfC and this AN/I archive.) Today, after COI and NPOV tags were removed from the article, they were restored by IP 75.56.203.166, which is in the IP range known to be used by Jimmy McDaniels. Shortly after notification of the topic ban was posted to the IPs talk page, a shiny new user claiming to be from Canada is posting to the article talk page ([1]). The user account was created 7 minutes after the revert by the IP. Leopold is known for using multiple sockpuppets on online forums (see the RfC). I think we'd better get a checkuser and nip this in the bud, but if WP:DUCK is enough, that's fine with me too. Yworo (talk) 03:28, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
