Culverin




Culverin is suspected by two users as being the impostor who pretended to be me on User talk:Dfrg.msc when he/she allegedly posted [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3ADfrg.msc&diff=75490574&oldid=75477411. this], using my signature, on Dfrg.msc's talk page. Culverin was in a dispute with me about three weeks ago, however this dispute died down thru some self-imposed bans on myself from responding to Culverin's comments. This dispute mainly took place around User talk:Dfrg.msc, where the impersonation messages were placed. Also, this user has a history of disruption connected with User talk:Dfrg.msc.

However, there are some interesting features here. Here is a timeline of the suspicious edits:

''' NOTE: Culverin didnt post anything between 20:04 and 21:44, when his alleged sockpuppets were in operation. Listed below is every single edit in this time frame between 20:04 and 21:44 for the four users - no edits have been omitted.'''

Also, look at the similarities between this edit and the impersonation ones by User:Krondor$ above - the same poor grammar, and most interestingly, the break between the signature, which I never ever do.

Any more information you may require, just ask me. Daniel (talk) 07:27, 14 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Are we really going to do a check user for evidence like this against me! Why should my reputaion be blackend by this? How can a bloody Signature indent make me a vandal? How can a bloody time period make me a vandal? do you know how many millions of users were on and logged of at that time! I ask this again. Why me?          Culverin ?

 * Yes. Why should you be worried - you have vehemently denied it is you. Your IP won't be revealed, so there is no chance of privacy problems. And don't change the format of things above this comment, like you did last time you posted. Daniel (talk) 08:23, 14 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Wow! I am as shocked as you, yes i did ask about page redirects. I should know but........... But i dont think it means i am the next willy!


 * I wrote jibberish on my page. Yeh i am a real willy on wheels now! Culverin ? Talk 09:07, 14 September 2006 (UTC


 * Where are you getting this mate! Culverin ? Talk 09:10, 14 September 2006 (UTC)


 * The content of the two posts on talk aren't the problem here, and you know it - stop trying to red herring us. And being a sockpuppet does not make you Willy on Wheels - he is only one sockpuppet, and unless you start page-moving vandalism, you will never be considered to be Whilly on Wheels, or even a sockpuppet of him.

 * Therefore, should Culverin be blocked for a short period of time (maybe 7 days) for his hideous personal attacks and impersonation of me? He did violate WP:SOCK by using them for vandalism and as abusive puppets. Daniel (talk) 11:19, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

I didn't mean for this to happen! But thankyou all for your efforts and your leniency. I hope this is the end of it all.
