Evidence

The account, as well as User:Ckimpson, is a block evasion of User:Cgkimpson who was blocked indefinitely for providing incorrect and false information or modifying correct information into incorrect ones in weather related articles (no National Weather Service or other weather office sources supporting it - often overestimating the Fujita/Enhanced Fujita Scale of a tornado). The initial puppet (Cgkimpson) was blocked but then User:Ckimpson was created and did similar editing to several weather-related articles (in July) and was temporarily blocked indefinitely before being unblocked. However, then came in August User:CamKimpson who've made this edit thus modifying again a sourced element [1] into incorrect info without providing a source for his change. It was reverted later by another editor as vandalism and the user also made what look like test edits in the December 20-21, 2006 Colorado Blizzard article which was reverted also. Of course, the biggest suspicion about the account is the user name that is very similar to the initial puppet and that both users have edited Colorado weather-related articles as well.

The two accounts also share an interest in That's So Raven (see this edit by CamKimpson; various articles about "That's So Raven" appear frequently in the Cgkimpson logs). --orlady 00:20, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

Comments

I originally went to CamKimpson's talk page (before ending up here instead) to post a complaint about the addition of bogus references (using pseudo-URLs) in the article Columbia Middle School(Aurora, Colorado) (currently an AFD); see the last version of the page as created by CamKimpson before anyone else touched it. I concluded that the references are bogus because they are about a school with an International Baccalaureate curriculum, but this school does not have an International Baccalaureate curriculum.--orlady 00:20, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

Conclusions

While the accounts are clearly one person, he cannot be labelled a sockpuppet by any of our definitions, just a user with an annoying habit of vanish and reappears after a few weeks and with a new account. He cannot be called a sock puppet since he never 2 accounts concurrently. Besides, I warned him twice upon his returns. There is no "suspicion". Circeus 04:17, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
