  • Supporting evidence: IP admits to being Fredrick day per [1] and if it is that user, then he would be evading a ban. --A Nobody 21:23, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The named accounts are already confirmed socks and indef'd except Allemandtando, who is indef'd but listed as suspected sock of FD. I can  Confirmed Allemandtando (talk · contribs) = Stephanlrowsell (talk · contribs) = Prisongangleader (talk · contribs) = Fredrick day (talk · contribs). IP 193.35.132.151 is shared so too much collateral damage to blocked.  Stale Fredrick Dayton (talk · contribs), Fredrick Dayes (talk · contribs). I have blocked and tagged Stephanlrowsell and retagged Allemandtando as confirmed. — Rlevse • Talk • 18:31, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Supporting evidence: Pym's userpage of "hi" matches the "hello" format of Frederick day, Fredrick Dayes, Prisongangleader, and Frederick Dayton. Similarly compare the first user talk page posts made by these accounts: [2] and [3]. Fredrick day's principal on wiki adversary is Abd, and one of Hymn's first edits, an account created a day ago, is in a thread about Abd (see [4]). Pym's FIRST AfD edit is to a renomination of one of the Warhammer articles (blocked sock Allemandtando was on a rampage to delete numerous Warhammer articles). ALL of his other AfD comments as of the time of this posting are to fictional character topics akin to blocked Allemandtando's edits as well. Allemandtando was originally "Killerofcruft", and Pym is making similar use of that term. So, we have a new account that is right off the bat diving into AfD and AN threads that are in the former identical to the edits made by Killerofcruft/Allemandtando and in the later against Abd a la the various Fredrick day incarnations and that also follows the same userpage style of the various incarnations of Fredrick day. --Happy editing!

 Additional information needed. Sorry, this currently falls way short of the requirements for running a CU investigation. You have a long page linked there with a lot of argument and a lot of statements that they are the same user, but very little by way of evidence. Can you provide some solid evidence (diffs, etc., not just assertions) to make us believe they may be the same user? Sam Korn (smoddy) 20:38, 17 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. The original SSP report was short, it's become long because of contention. There are three reasons. First, user registered and dove immediately into contentious and arcane Wikipedia process, clearly a very experienced user, see, for example, where he uses templates [5] and [6]. His activities aroused suspicion on AN/I that he was a sock puppet, from a number of administrators and others,[7] but I was the only commenter suspecting a connection with Fredrick day,[8] with whom I am very familiar due to being a regular target. When I wrote the comment on AN/I, I had not realized the second reason: he registered a half-hour after I voted in an AfD,[9] [10] made a few edits, and then, next day, voted in that AfD,[11] and became contentiously involved in subsequent process. This would fit the pattern of Fredrick day. The original AN/I report, expressing concern that he was a returning sock, did not result in RfCU, because the coincidence of registration with my vote had not been noticed (which would have aroused my suspicion to a higher level) and the others were suspecting different masters. However, subsequent behavior has confirmed the ID as Fredrick day for me to the point where I'm convinced that, if they are not the same user, they are amazingly similar; but to establish this clearly on behavioral evidence would be far more complex than is practical here, that should be done at RFC/U, which this could make moot. Definitely, I can understand that doubt exists, but I'd suggest, before coming to a conclusion that suspicion is not sufficient, that there be opportunity for comment here from an admin familiar with Fredrick day's behavior. This is an opportunity to avoid RFC/U, which will avoid far more wasted time. As to support for similarity, I'll later post here some diffs that show that the user, or someone informing him, is closely watching me and then participating where I participate. (This is only relevant as a pattern resembling that of Fredrick day, this is not a complaint about that behavior.) ==Abd (talk) 22:33, 17 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The following two incidents show close following of my contributions:

  • 21:53, 29 June 2008 I create a draft essay MKR incident in my user space, as an essay on an AN/I incident, not noised about. Killerofcruft is involved in the incident, but is not the central focus.
    • 22:56, 29 June 2008 [He complains] about it as an "attack page" at AN/I, an opinion not sustained.
  • 14:53, 2 July 2008 I create a file as a place to begin looking at this user's behavior, but add no significant content. (This file later was used for evidence for the SSP report -- it was not, is not, and won't be a contentious page, it is purely for organizing edit records without conclusions. Until today, that file contained practically nothing. It is under MfD, but is snowing Keep.)
    • 15:23, 2 July 2008 [He complains] about the "kangaroo court" at AN/I. He later claimed "someone" emailed him about the file.

Note that it is not the coincidences above that alone cause my strong suspicion, it is the manner, the polemic, the drama. I'm not attached to his being discovered as a sock, but simply see it as a possible way to avoid further wikidrama. His behavior justifies an RfC/U, in my opinion, and he has an amazing number of fast friends, for someone with such a new account. He's a hero to some for his strong attack on fancruft and unsourced text, and considered disruptive by others for exactly the same thing (the incivility is an added complication, though). An RfC/U, I predict, is going to be messy. This could be clean, or useless, I can't tell, but I can't see how it could hurt to check. --Abd (talk) 23:42, 17 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

How is a checkuser based on "it will save a lot of time" and "I filed a SSP because I was lazy" anything but an abuse ? --Allemandtando (talk) 23:50, 17 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Yup. Looks like it may have done that, saved quite a bit of time, too. [12] [13] Except that Allemandtando has played dead before, when his incivility and disruptiveness caused some backlash before. [14] [15]. That was about three weeks ago, folks. And I had practically nothing to do with it. --Abd (talk) 00:03, 18 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry - I cannot resist a final comment to this - yeah a throw-away account - that's why I spent hours looking and adding scholarly texts to articles, that's why I spend hours cleaning up articles, that's why over 50% of my 2500 edits are mainspace - because it's a throwaway account - because that's what disruptive editors do - spend hours cleaning up articles. Next time (if I ever bother coming back), I'll try and hit the heady heights of 18% article edits - because following people and talkpage edits are what it's all about. --Allemandtando (talk) 00:09, 18 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The user Killerofcruft, renamed Allemandtando in a way compatible with the rules, had made no secret of having previously edited under his own name, some time ago, and not wanting to state his previous user name because it was his real name. Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 00:16, 18 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
That's correct, Bugs, and totally irrelevant, having nothing to do with this RFCU, which is necessarily based on suspicion, not on proof. The "vanished user" excuse is believable, to a point. But it doesn't dispel suspicion, since any block evader could assert the same thing, and they frequently do.--Abd (talk) 00:54, 18 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It may not be very relevant, but it's not totally irrelevant. I'm not trying to take any sides; it's just that your presentation (as a newly-registered user, "clearly a very experienced user") suggests that he was pretending to be a newbie, when he admittedly is not a newbie. As to the rest of it, only a checkuser (might) tell for sure. That's all, folks. Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 02:37, 18 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Likely. Sam Korn (smoddy) 09:33, 18 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Per a private question -- this relates only to Allemandtando and Fredrick day, not to the IPs listed. Sam Korn (smoddy) 23:58, 18 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I was requested to corroborate this finding. I carried out a check of my own and I concur with Sam Korn:
  •  Likely that Fredrick day == Allemandtando
  • the IP's are Red X Unrelated.
Please advise of any questions or concerns. ++Lar: t/c 00:09, 19 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Please see Talk on this. Likely moot to Allemandtando ID, but 88.105.116.147 probably Fredrick day.--Abd (talk) 14:32, 19 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • JzG has blocked Allemandtando, 15:11, 19 July 2008.[16] --Abd (talk) 15:35, 19 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

See Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/Fredrick day, list of IP addresses used at Wikipedia talk:Suspected sock puppets/Fredrick day, and Wikipedia:suspected sock puppets/Fredrick day (2nd). Initial suspicion came from [17] and response of Seddon69 to a query regarding that edit. 193.35.133.151 was recently associated with Fredrick day, see [18] where that IP continues a series of edits by known Fredrick day IP. This user had previously stated he had other active accounts, used for noncontroversial editing, and Seddon69 fits that; edit history is a certain match. He may have additional accounts not identified yet, but he is currently evading his block with the new account Fredrick dayton. --Abd (talk) 17:29, 14 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Fredrick Dayton is  Confirmed, Seddon69 is  Inconclusive. Thatcher 11:08, 16 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
