no Declined CheckUser isn't going to demonstrate anything that isn't already obvious. WilliamH (talk) 13:56, 29 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

information Administrator note I've blocked the sockpuppet indefinitely. I haven't blocked the sockmaster because the editor is new and aside from the alternate account, I don't see disruption beyond engaging in a edit war, and I'm hoping that blocking the sockpuppet will stop the edit war on its own. While the information they're trying to add to a BLP might be critical and/or controversial, the information was sourced so I won't consider it a BLP violation. I've warned the original editor about sockpuppetry and edit wars and given them advice on how to avoid conflict, but warned them that further disruption will likely lead to an indefinite block. I'll request that this case be closed now. -- Atama 16:47, 29 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
information Administrator note I just blocked Fraudinnevadahastogo (talk · contribs) as a sock and a relevant IP. I'll drop Atama a note, leave the master to him/her. -- DQ (ʞlɐʇ) 06:47, 30 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
information Administrator note So much for giving someone a chance. I've indefinitely blocked the master. Thanks for the note DQ. -- Atama 15:32, 30 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
