Barbara Osgood


exhibits a consistent pattern of making a number of small, possibly valid edits to apparently random articles, introducing steadily increasing degrees of absurdity and ending with a patent whopper. A number of accounts have edits interleaved with "Osgood", leading to the conclusion that they are sockpuppets. I have just spent another hour checking and winding back these vandal edits. I have indef-blocked the suspected socks, but I need to prove that they genuinely are socks in order to take stronger action against Osgood. The socks are: If this is not a sock farm then it is a series of remarkable coincidences. - Just zis Guy, you know? [T]/[C] AfD? 18:26, 29 January 2006 (UTC)


 * User:Barbara Osgood is also User:Eddie Lee Beppaux, User:Paulo Fontaine, User:Don Barber, User:Martin Whitlock, User:Ian Harbord, User:Baron von Economo, User:Jim Dale, User:Billy Budd, User:Connor Anderson and others, confirmed by CheckUser. Seems that this is rather out of date confirmation though, but I figured I should at least do it. —Matthew Brown (T:C) 13:53, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Barbara Osgood is NOT Paulo Fontaine. That's a different kettle of fish/socks entirely. So stop it. Barbara Osgood 15:26, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

Like, 70.58.195.252 exhibits a pattern of making small, sometimes vaguely valid, but mostly irrelevant, edits to apparently random articles. AdrianLozano 17:10, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
