- Evidence
Wordbywordbyword (talk · contribs) has made a single edit, the coatrack article Jewish slave trade.- Atari400 (talk · contribs) claims to be a sockpuppet of Sefringle, who is actually a former account of one of his content adversaries. Sefringle was only active before Atari400 appeared on Wikipedia. This creates the appearance that Atari400 has been here before with another account. [1]
- Atari400 account is being used disruptively and for edit warring. See contributions to Jewish slave trade. See this ANI thread.

- Says he's a 'long time wikipedian' when his account was only 3 months old.
- First edit was a long copyright warning to another user.
- Admin Daniel also suspects this is Kirbytime [37]
There are many other edits but hopefully these should suffice for CU. --Matt57 (talk•contribs) 23:33, 27 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Comments
Result of RFCU was "possible". — Rlevse • Talk • 17:03, 28 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Are you referring to the comment left by Jayjg? If so, the result was actually marked both "possible" and "inconclusive". Tarc (talk) 20:03, 28 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- The terms are not mutually exclusive. — Rlevse • Talk • 20:07, 28 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- I believe there are two possibilities here: possibility 1: this is Kirbytime. Pretty strong, but not 100% conclusive. Possibility 2: This is someone else who is exactly like Kirbytime. I don't see any third alternative. In either case, it is someone we can do without, who is an active hindrance to the goal of building an encyclopaedia consistent with core policies such as WP:NPOV.

- Rlevse asked me to look this over, so I did. I'm fully in agreement with all of the administrators who've decided that Atari400 is almost certainly a sock puppet of Kirbytime, and should be indef-blocked. Shalom (Hello • Peace) 22:42, 30 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Conclusions
Blocking and tagging Atari400. — Rlevse • Talk • 23:13, 30 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
