{{sockvote}}

Purpose

Comments made by a sock with no replies may simply be removed with an appropriate edit summary. If comments are part of an active discussion, they should be struck instead of removed. To use this template, first strike the sockpuppet's vote/comment & signature using <s>...</s>, then add this template to inform editors about the sockpuppet. Don't forget to put your signature after the template.

Usage

{{Sock vote}} → ( Blocked sockpuppet)
{{Sock vote|Example}} → ( Blocked sockpuppet of Example, see investigation)
{{Sock vote|Example|sus}} → ( Suspected sockpuppet of Example, see investigation)
