- Evidence
- Account was created earlier today (5-16-06) and most of its edits seem in coordination with Doom127.
- [1] came out of nowhere to support Doom on recent edit/reversion war.
- [2] again user came in from nowhere(no previous edits on the page or talkpage) to support Doom's edits and arguments.
- [3] User immediately reverted to a version by Doom that was undone by another user.
- Comments
Only one non user-namespace edit was not directly related to any of Doom127's edit conflicts. It would seem that this user was created by Doom127 and may possibly have been used to circumvent the 3RR (as in case #1) and to provide support for himself in edit/talk page conflicts. The user reacted somewhat sharply when I instigated this notion and mentioned it on an article talk page. --Oni Ookami AlfadorTalk|@ 18:40, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
I am not sure if it is any indicator either way but as soon as these notices went up the user began to revert every placement of this template ont he designated pages and even blanked the template himself. The user also claims to have abandoned wikipedia as a result of this, claiming harassment. I am not sure if this supports the notion of sockpuppettry or not, but it is certainly something worth considering. --Oni Ookami AlfadorTalk|@ 20:21, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
He's alreaddy watched. Just look at this [4] "only" 13 sockpuppets. --Jason Five 22:01, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
It became watched when I added the template to the sockpuppet's userspace. This user appears to have "quit" wikipedia so it looks like we're finally done with his harassment. I will be watching out for other likely sockpuppets he uses though since he may only wish us to believe he is gone.--Oni Ookami AlfadorTalk|@ 03:42, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
