Blocking sockpuppets

Toddst1 (talk · contribs) asked me to clarify the block. This user has been displaying behaviour remarkably similar to banned user Angela Kennedy (talk · contribs), with a singular interest in Simon Wessely. This article has been a hotbed of aggressive editing by activists opposed to his work. Several clusters of activity have happened. Angela Kennedy (the real name of a vocal activist of the One Click Group) was around in Sept/Oct 2007, and was blocked after making legal threats (see block log).

This user entered the fray with an anonymous edit that reestablished previously deleted negative content[1]. She then followed on to Sciencewatcher (talk · contribs) who suggested she create a named account (86.154.117.80 (talk · contribs) was the original fixed IP).

The pattern of negative comments on the talkpage continued, both from the IP and this handle, using the same phraseology. The edit that established this user as a One Click-associated editor was this (link - edit now deleted), which is an exchange of letters between Kennedy and Wessely's employer.

Previous experience going back to 2005 has shown that this article is the target of heavy off-wiki activism (see this document by Martin Walker). There is no question that several groups desire a negative Wikipedia article, and will go to substantial lengths to make this happen. JFW | T@lk 05:58, 19 May 2011 (UTC)

Request reason:

I am most definitely not Angela Kennedy!! I found all the stuff on various forums and a discussion on facebook got me really mad. That's why I registered and edited this article. I tried to present clear evidence but here I'm accussed of being someone from one click. I think they are a nasty hate driven group at times. I do not want anything to do with them. But they do have a point at times also

Decline reason:

Your unblock request does not address the reason for the block, and indicates that the only reason you want to return to editing is to continue to advance your personal views. Nick-D (talk) 10:41, 19 May 2011 (UTC)

You are not Angela Kennedy? then which other user who was banned in the same month as her are you? (See this edit, and I'm not going to waste my time providing the evidence that that really was you, not someone else impersonating you. You and I both know it was you.) You are banned, whether you are Angela Kennedy or not. Also, there are enough other things wrong with your editing to justify a block, even if you weren't already banned. Please don't waste our time with more unblock requests that will not look remotely plausible to anyone who has looked into your history, or your talk page access will be revoked.

Request reason:

I was directed by Mr. Wolff to have an account so I did. Despite my strong personal views I edited in good faith. I provided evidence that Wessely considered himself harassed which was the point of discussion. I have nothing to do with one click or the events you describe. I have never been banned from wikipedia before. All the information I posted is freely available on the internet and the correspondence with Wessely's boss which supports his claim of being harassed was passed on to me as it has been to many others. The way I am being spoken to here seems aggressive and vindictive. I am sure it is not meant to be so but there is certainly no commnet love or tolerance. Just chill out and give me a break, do I really have to take this to a more formal level and lodge a complaint? Is this really how to treat a newbie?

Decline reason:

(1) I have examined your history of editing and of the anonymous IP edits from the IP 86.154.117.80. I am perfectly confident that you have edited from that IP address, and that when an editor from that IP address referred to themself as being banned, that editor was you. (2) As has already been indicated to you, there is considerable evidence that you are either the same person as Angela Kennedy or acting in concert with her, so that you are either a sockpuppet or a meatpuppet. (3) Your editing has been disruptive and uncooperative, and has aimed to move Wikipedia in the direction of reflecting your particular point of view. Any one of those three would be sufficient reason to keep you blocked. The three together are more than enough. JamesBWatson (talk) 15:05, 19 May 2011 (UTC)
