Wiki143:Suspected sock puppets/JaysCyYoung

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:JaysCyYoung

Evidence

• User:Stukov and User:JaysCyYoung began contributing within two days of each other and both make corrections almost identical in tone and pattern for pages of Toronto Maple Leafs players and other hockey players, sometimes within minutes of each other.[1][2]
• User:Stukov has made cosmetic corrections and additions to User:JaysCyYoung's user page. Unless the users know each other well I find it odd that User:Stukov could make edits to User:JaysCyYoung page that were acceptable to the latter's page.[3]
• User:Stukov created the page Black Cop and both users made corrections to the page almost identical in tone and pattern within minutes of each other.[4] When the page was nominated for deletion, User:JaysCyYoung's "vote" may have helped sway the decision for no consensus.[5]

Comments

• Yeah, okay. Just because we know each other in real life doesn't make us "sock puppets". We both appreciate hockey and are fans of the Toronto Maple Leafs. I mean god forbid we have common interests right? Sorry you don't like the fact that Black Cop survived the vote, but that doesn't mean you can throw around baseless accusations. --Stukov 05:59, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

• • I'm actually a little insulted that this user thinks that we are one and the same. Apparently I have enough time to sign in and sign out in order to make edits to pages I have an interest in. Here's an interesting question I want Mrblondnyc to answer: why would I sign into one account to make edits on a Leafs page and then sign into another account to make edits I could have made on the first account? That makes no sense. In short, you are being obsessive and a little paranoid by focusing so much on me. I realize that I am awesome and all, but still -- this is not healthy.

Your common interests are hockey... and Black Cops? And you just happen to edit the same pages within minutes of each other? Like this one? OK sure. Why would you do this? I don't know. But it's been known to happen which is why the sockpuppet page exists. That's something you may need to ask yourself. No I don't like the Black Cop page but I've made numerous additions to the page to help you out. Oh I mean the both of you. - MrBlondNYC 07:36, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Comment. Just thought I should mention that JaysCyYoung has removed the message regarding this debate from his talk page, calling it vandalism.--Drat (Talk) 11:49, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

The fact of the matter is that we're two different people. I really have no worries about the matter since there cannot be any concrete evidence to support this since it's NOT TRUE. Are we simply going to call every wikipedian who knows each other in real life sock puppets? Give me a break. You can't prove this and you know it. This whole "proceeding" is a joke. --Stukov 14:11, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Mrblondnyc, you are welcome to take this to WP:RFCU, if you have firmer evidence. Iolakana|^T

Go ahead and check our IP address. Once again, there is no reason whatsoever to believe that we are the same person. This is personal defamation and is a person attack on the character of each of us. We are both Leafs fans and have made extensive improvements to the player articles on the team page. I generally write information or provide statistics on the player and Alexei is particularly adept at font layout and adding pictures, making boxes and charts, etc.

Furthermore, my vote on the Black Cop page was in support of something I've seen time and time again in movies. I've also edited pages which Stukov has contributed in when I think that he has been wrong. You have no case and you're launching a personal attack on myself, something that I don't appreciate. Why am I being singled out when I have been long-time contributor and a valuable member on Wikipedia? Because I have different views? This is ridiculous. And I never threatened legal action, lol.JaysCyYoung 19:39, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
