Wiki143:Suspected sock puppets/Drosenbe

The following discussion is an archived debate of the case of suspected sockpuppetry. Please do not modify it. No further edits should be made to this page. If you are seeing this page as a result of an attempt to open a new case of sockpuppetry of the same user, read this for detailed instructions.

User:Drosenbe

Users Blacktooth and Drosenbe626 (the latter with only one edit) appear to be sockpuppets of Drosenbe. These accounts appear to have only been used for the self-promotion of bands and radio programs of which User:Drosenbe (Dave Rosenberg) is a participant. The articles Surf music and Surf rock have been repeatedly edited by Drosenbe, who also appears to be editing anonymously at times. Drosenbe and Blacktooth have been entirely unresponsive to my notes on their user talk pages, either asking for a discussion at the appropriate article talk pages or for acknowledgement of WP:AUTO. The only thing these accounts seem to ever do is add links to Dave Rosenberg's bands to articles.

I will be undertaking separate ventures to find a way to deal with the self-promotional edits themselves (Wikipedia:Spam) but I think that the pattern of edits by User:Drosenbe, User:Blacktooth, and User:Drosenbe626 is quite clear enough to determine that they are all the same individual.
