Suspected sockpuppets


Evidence submitted by Quaeler (talk)

Both accounts make simultaneous edits of the same motivation (to re-instate symboldictionary.net external links). For example here and here. Quaeler (talk) 11:34, 26 February 2009 (UTC)


Comments by accused parties    See Defending yourself against claims.

There are not two "accounts" here. One is an account, the other is my ip address, which appears if I make an anonymous edit. I should not have to point out something this obvious. None of my edits have been malicious, I have never hidden or failed to address any issues with my identity, and I resent the accusation (and the gratuitous posting of my email address).

As I pointed out to my over-enthusiastic accuser, I have never placed an original link to my material; I have simply changed source links to reflect the material's new location. I am the original author of the articles source; they were all independently placed by various wikipedians, some of whom pasted text word for word from my articles. I am the acknowleged inspiration the wiki section on religious symbols, and I have been improving wikipedia articles on my own time for years as a constructive user.

The user is also offended I removed copyrighted material from a page; this was reverted before I even finished commenting on the talk page for the article.

Quaeler decided to make threats and accusations without discussion; I will be seeking arbitration if this nonsense continues.Infinitysnake (talk) 02:43, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

  • Activity is still occuring, under Infinitysnake here on 26.feb and under 24.130.199.233 here 2.5 weeks ago and here on 26.feb. This latter 'copyright text' allegation is the same type of allegation Infinitysnake made on 26.feb concerning another symbol-based article. Quaeler (talk) 17:27, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
At which point *common sense* ought to have kicked in, if I am claiming copyright under both my ip and my login account, then i am clearly using my own identity in both cases. Please find someone else to harass.Infinitysnake (talk) 03:48, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
  •  Clerk note: editing whilst logged out is not forbidden by WP:SOCK. In order for there to be a breach, it would be necessary that it was done to evade policy. Unless you can show examples of both the IP and account !voting at AFD, or collectively breaching WP:3RR, there is no case to answer. Mayalld (talk) 07:40, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

My inquiry was instigated on poor comprehension of the COIbot report and subsequent admin actions and is incorrect. Quaeler (talk) 15:21, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
