Thanks

Thanks for resolving the User:Disinfoboxman issue. It is all so much better when things are clarified. Thank you for taking my concerns seriously. Regards, —Mattisse (Talk) 14:52, 28 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome. Thatcher 14:57, 28 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"Resolved" on what basis?

There never was any "User:Disinfoboxman issue"; there were simply groundless suspicions.

Do checkusers get run these days on what User:Mattisse has disparagingly termed "harassing diffs", "hiding [Mattisse's] comments in a box", and commenting "frivolously". -- Disinfoboxman (talk) 17:12, 28 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Under the circumstances of confirmed sockpuppetry by one editor, and an account that seems more "experienced" than it's edit count would indicate, and with an interest in infoboxes and the passive voice [1] similar to Geogre, it was reasonable to take a look. You're not related, so no more needs to be said. Thatcher 17:26, 28 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"Confirmed sockpuppetry" verus "alternative account". Discuss.

But "interest in infoboxes and the passive voice similar to Geogre"? That is most unsatisfactory. Similar to Bishonen; similar to Giano; similar a bunch of other people, and we are all partial to a spot of free range sarcasm and have a smattering of German too. I hope you enjoyed your fishing expedition. -- Disinfoboxman (talk) 17:56, 28 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

See my statement on the motion re:sockpuppetry vs alternate account. I think it was an acceptable alternate account except for a few breaches. How serious those breaches were is a matter of individual opinion. Thatcher 19:28, 28 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Verjakette/Capasitor

Hi. Since you have recently dealt with the new set of socks of Verjakette (Aparaj (talk · contribs), Greiwood (talk · contribs), etc), could you please check if Oceolcspsms (talk · contribs) is a reincarnation of Verjakette/Capasitor? The editing is very similar to that banned user. Lumberjak (talk · contribs) is also a suspicious account. Thanks. Grandmaster 09:45, 29 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Lumberjak is Confirmed, Oceolcspsms is probably unrelated. Thatcher 10:56, 29 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. But Oceolcspsms's edits are very similar to Verjakette. Cannot be a coincidence. Probably he found a way to evade CU. He was known to use proxies before. Grandmaster 11:12, 29 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The IP is not obviously an open proxy. Technical analysis will not be any help here, you might file an SPI report. Thatcher 12:44, 29 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, thank you. Grandmaster 15:06, 29 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Could you please check another suspicious account? The account of Lida Vorig (talk · contribs) was used for voting at AFD, and edit warring. It appears to be the same person. Thanks. Grandmaster 05:04, 30 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Unrelated, but this user should be officially notified of the case restrictions. Ask at WP:AE. Thatcher 06:06, 30 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
