Suspected sockpuppets


User:Robert Warren is editing mainly in Poland and Polish history related topics. His first edits were adding links to his homepage, where he writes about communist/Russian crimes. He then began to work extensively on the 2010 Polish Air Force Tu-154 crash article, with a slant to add that it is a Russian conspiracy. On 4 June 2010 user:MWoodson appeared with this edit [1] and began to try to add an anti-Russian slant to the article, for which he was congratulated by Robert Warren [2]. MWoodson has not edited since 19 September 2010. On 17 October 2010 Robert Warren returned to edit the Polish Air Force Tu-154 crash article [3] and continued to edit until 23 October 2010 - then he disappeared for 3 weeks. On 24 October 2010 user:WingManFA2 was created and began to edit immediately and almost exclusively at Polish Air Force Tu-154 crash article. His first edit [4], editing a wiki link in an earlier edit by Robert Warren [5], mentioning an article, whose writer S. Eugene Poteat Robert Warren has interviewed for his homepage [6]. The article in question was then added to S. Eugene Poteat by WingManFA2 [7] Between 14 October and 26 October 2010 Robert Warren and WingManFA2 also edited Order of Polonia Restituta. WingManFA2 keeps on editing at Polish Air Force Tu-154 crash until 13 November 2010 (then there is a break until 10 February 2011) and on 14 November 2010 Robert Warren returns to the Polish Air Force Tu-154 crash [8]... 22 June 2012 user:Voyt13 was registered and began to edit immediately and exclusively at Polish Air Force Tu-154 crash [9] but stopped to edit on 7 August 2012. On 19th July Robert Warren came back to edit [10], on 28 July WingManFA2 came back to edit... [11]... Today at 15:59 WingManFA2 shows up (after a 29 day break) do not vandalize this article, at 16:24 Robert Warren shows up (after a 25 day break) [12], is plain and simple vandalism! and while writing this post at 17:15 user:DrJacPhD shows up (after a 7 month break) to vandalize this or other articles. noclador (talk) 15:52, 4 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

PS: Coincidentally all three editors today don't know how to use ":" properly in discussions...
  • WingManFA2 4x "::::" when it should be 1x ":" [13]
  • Robert Warren 8x "::::::::" when it should be 2x ":" [14] respectively 6x "::::::" when it should be 4x ":" [15]
  • DrJacPhD 9x ":::::::::" when it should be 7x ":" [16].

That's some serious investigative work piece of work !!!!! When I grow up I want to be just like you: all knowing and infallible! Damn, and you discovered this conspiracy on your own. Amazing! Tell you what, rather than pursuing your paranoid visions, I'd suggest you brush up on how to collegially interact with others, so you don't upset their sensitivities. e.i. the edit wars and vandalizing articles are not considered to be particularly collegial by anyone. And this, my friend, is the only response you'll get from me regarding this idiotic accusation. Cheers, Robert --Doomed Soldiers (talk) 16:50, 4 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I've suspected socking here for a while based purely on the soapbox style of writing. One user, one account, please.--♦IanMacM♦ (talk to me) 18:32, 4 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • WingManFA2 is a  Confirmed sock of Robert Warren, and DrJacPhD pretty much is too. Based on behavioural and technical evidence, it seems more  Unlikely than likely that Voyt13 is operated by the same individual. WilliamH (talk) 18:12, 4 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yet another blatant example of why Wikipedia has no credibility in the academia and elsewhere. The "case" is so "adjudicated the Wiki-style" because some kid identifying himself as "WilliamH" deemed it to be so, with little bit of "seems", "likely" and "unlikely". God only knows who he is, what credentials, if any, he has.

So, "WilliamH" "investigated" baseless accusation made by someone calling himself "noclodor" who trashed other editors edits with impunity and again, no one knows who this "noclodor" character is, and what credentials he has, if any. All we know that he is supported by IanMcMan, who most likely is MelbourneOne, and then some - what a farce!

So, what we have here is another "Wikipedia Classic" in the making. Nuff said! --WingManFA2 (talk) 20:18, 4 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
