Evidence

Starting new report with just one suspected sock, although I expect others to appear. Jvolkblum is a banned user with an extensive record of sockpuppetry.

User name User:StAuNcH ChArAcTeR displays alternation of upper and lower case, which is similar to some past Jvolkblum sockpuppets. User's edit pattern is consistent with the behavior of numerous past Jvolkblum puppets. User joined on 6 January and created a complex user page a few minutes later (something that many Jvolkblum puppets have done). Has made a few miscellaneous minor edits, created an article (currently PROD-ed for lack of notability) for a street in Manhattan (Jvolkblum puppets have sometimes shown interest in Manhattan streets), and uploaded and inserted new logo images for two of Jvolkblum's pet institutions: Sarah Lawrence College and Sound Shore Medical Center of Westchester.‎ (Jvolkblum is fond of logos.)

I am now adding User:207.218.231.214. Less than an hour after I posted this case for User:StAuNcH ChArAcTeR, this anonymous user showed up to remove the PROD template (which had been added 5 days ago; "funny" that no action was taken until it appeared on the sockpuppetry case) from Bank Street (Manhattan)‎ and went to Sarah Lawrence College campus and restored changes made earlier by now-blocked Jvolkblum sock User:Marcello Khattar (this was a very complex edit that rearranged the text and added a bunch of images that appear to me to be images removed earlier for copyvio issues). The IP is from ThePlanet.com, which is one of several ISPs that Jvolkblum uses to edit logged out. It would be very nice if it would be possible to block the IP ranges that Jvolkblum uses, but there are many... --Orlady (talk) 18:30, 27 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

Orlady has gone after me before ( Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/Jvolkblum ), and she did this after I was a registered user for the shortest period of time. I looked to see the character traits of Orlady when this happened to me before because I wanted to figure out what had happened. Now she is doing this one more time and it looks as if to be the same reasoning as before. She is working against a banned user and feels that is justification to control SO many topics and to be so rude. I do not think I joined in January as claimed above but I see it as showing my membership started in June. Is there a minimum number of edits that a users gotta maintain or they are in trouble? b/c Im not sure what relevance those type comments have other than to make me appear guilty of this junk. I dont believe the 'convenient' additional connections are fair or credible either. My adding of a logo,seal to SLC is done according to the rules to add a logo. I fixed sound shore medical center because the picture was not very good. . but that was only after orlady had made random edits to the hospital page (one of her 'pet' pages, along with Sarah Lawrence, New York, Westchester, Port Chester, Chappaqua, New Rochelle for example) that are what caught my attention for SSMC. Doubtful anyones gonna listen tho - auf wiedersehen. --75.125.163.147 (talk) 18:45, 27 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
