Evidence

Immediately upon my reverting user Tromaintern here, and warning him/her about the three-revert rule, user Ogabadaga appeared on the scene to make the exact same edits, making the same arguments (here and on the talk page).

As can be seen by the contributions of both, they are never logged on simultaneously, the logged times interchanging to back one another up. Also on the same pages I link to, it is to be noted that they both show a mini-wikibreak for roughly the same time period in the middle of September.

The above two paras contain mere circumstantial evidence, and can be explained by coincidence. However, the user then accidentally left him/her self logged in as Tromaintern when leaving a comment as Ogabadaga. See diff here.

Comments

User:Maxador also has a very similar editing history. Also note that this guy has a history of using various IPs. And technically speaking, though Ogabadaga claims to have been around longer, that account is really the sock of Tromaintern, rather than the other way around.--Cúchullain t/c 07:38, 23 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I have since discovered that Tromaintern is in fact the puppeteer. Ogabadaga's userpage is a direct copy of a good editor's page here. What is the process here? Do we move this talk over to sock puppets/Tromaintern ? And to be clear, I am not accusing Dposse of being a puppet; it is obvious that Tromaintern merely copy-pasted the text from his page to Ogabadaga's Liquidfinale (Ţ) (Ç) (Ŵ) 09:13, 23 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]



Comments

Now my turn. Just because I don't agree with a couple of editors, doesn't make a sockpuppet. My edits were far more concillatory than the editor Tromaintern who desired a far more negative article. If this part of some strategy to intimidate me into accepting unacceptable edits, then so be it. However, just because I re-created an accounted based upon an earlier account, doesn't make me a sockpuppet. Nice try.Ogabadaga 17:12, 23 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
