The review of your block is currently pending the results of the following Wikipedia:Checkuser request for Hunter91 which may take 24-48 hours to complete. --  Netsnipe  ►  16:19, 7 September 2006 (UTC)Reply

You still haven't told me what a sockpuppet is and who on earth is Mechanismtongs? But whatevers going on i guess i can wait 24 houres...--James Robinson 16:33, 7 September 2006 (UTC)Reply

Hey -- look at Wikipedia:Sockpuppetry. Basically, this is an accusation that your account is an account run by the same person as the owner of another account, and that the multiple accounts are being used to either (1) make certain activities appear to have broader support than they really do, or (2) to circumvent a block. User:Mechanismtongs is the account this one is thought to be related to. If this is all incorrect, checkuser will amost certainly detect it, so just hang tight.

I find it very hard that you don't know what a sockpuppet is considering you accused Hut 8.5 of being one.[1] --  Netsnipe  ►  17:57, 7 September 2006 (UTC)Reply

I diddent know at the time, he was accused of being one by another editor and i assumed this was related to his deleating some of my edits (although we have resolved this issus) --James Robinson 19:55, 7 September 2006 (UTC) Reply
