Evidence

Their edits almost never overlap temporally, but often line up sequentially (by as little as 3 minutes between the last edit of one, and the first edit of the other). This means that they don't ever appear to edit at the same time - one stops editting, then the other starts.
LimerickLimerickson appears to predominantly join into discussions that I m dude2002 is already involved in, and seems to always agree with I m dude2002's position. This wouldn't be so unusual if not for the very few edits that LimerickLimerickson has.
LimerickLimerickson's short edit history can be view here. The following diffs cover all of LimerickLimerickson's edit history, and the sections of I m dude2002's edit history that overlaps.
My primary contention is that I m dude2002 may be using the LimerickLimerickson sock puppet to try to build false consensus with himself in discussions and RfCs.

March 27, 2007 – LimerickLimerickson makes no edits for four days, and neither does I m dude2002. Then, they both make edits to the same article 3 minutes apart. Four days of inactivity, followed by a three minute gap in their edits, to the same article. These are the only edits either editor makes for the next 16+ hours.

March 23, 2007 – LimerickLimerickson joins an RfC I m dude2002 has started. LimerickLimerickson makes no edits after 14:34 on this day, and I m dude2002 makes no edits before 14:43 - a 9 minute difference between when one stops and the other starts.

Comment by uninvolved party who doesn't have a stake in the outcome.

I have examined the "evidence" of the March 23, 2007 entries. I find them not disruptive, not vandalism, and not indicative of sockpuppetry. My opinion based on that data is that the accused are NOT sockpuppets. I further certify that I do not know the accused and have never heard of the accused name before. To the all parties of this complaint, I ask that you try to peacefully coexist!Dereks1x 23:59, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
