Dipankan went inactive a while back. Then the other day a new account, started after Dipankan stopped, they opened this thread[1]. They were denied permission to be confirmed ahead of schedule and magically, found a blog entry that had just been written 'that very day on that exact subject by Dipankan, suggesting that the entire process is flawed. I pointed out that they probably just blew their clean start and the account stopped editing. Later that same day Ssabapathy made their first edit. Three days after that they posted this [2] completely out-of-the-blue request for the wise and experienced Dipankan to mentor them. If you look at their contribs this edit is sandwiched between article edits they were making so what suddenly made them decide to seek out this other user and praise them? Really, this looks like two abysmally flawed attempts at a clean start. If they could just follow the conditions of the clean start nobody would care but, like a moth to the flame, they keep coming back to talk about how great their previous account was. That is not a clean start, that is sockpuppetry, and further shows the same level of cluelessness that led Dipankan to have troubles in the past. Beeblebrox (talk) 17:56, 10 February 2013 (UTC)

Comments by other users

Accused parties may also comment/discuss in this section below. See Defending yourself against claims. Hi all. I am Dipankan001. I just got a mail today that Beeblebrox thinks I am a sockpuppeteer. I'll reveal the secrets, and what I say is true.
*Wiki4Blog is my alternate legitimate account under a cleanstart. I have absolutely not violated the policies, but I messed up with this account so I created that one.
*Ssabapathy is NOT my account. I ask a checkuser to verify IP's if needed.
Thanking you, Dipankan001. @DipankanUpgraded! ^{Tag me!} 18:08, 10 February 2013 (UTC)
