Sockpuppetry

New accounts that aren't actually new users (i.e. sockpuppets) are a plague on the project, with sometimes dozens of socks from a banned editor. Administrators refuse to block a new sock account unless there is "solid evidence" of sockpuppetry, per WP:Assume good faith. It is proposed administrators will run CheckUser requests for Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations when there is a minimal level of acceptable evidence, including behavioural evidence, recent contributions correlation, and/or discussions correlation.
