General Mannino



 * Code letter: F (I think)

General Mannino was blocked for a week for harrassing User:WikiDon, per this discussion on WP:ANI: Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents. After the block, Generale d'Armata Mannino was created earlier, and after the block further harrassed WikiDon, and issued a borderline death threat. I indefblocked General Mannino. However, he is claiming on his talk page that Generale d'Armata Mannino isn't him, and I sort of a little bit believe that is a remote possibility, and it could have been created by someone else to dig his grave deeper. MI General is an admitted sock of General Mannino, so I'm including it in case that helps. User:Metros has said in the ANI thread they would like to email the checkuser who's doing this; please contact him so he knows who's handling this. --barneca (talk) 22:35, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Supporting evidence:


 * Firstly, ✅ that = .  is ❌ to either of these accounts.


 * Please also ask WikiDon to email me on this issue. I'd like a little more background information here, please - A l is o n  ❤ 22:57, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I have asked WikiDon on his talk page to email you. Thanks for your help so far. --barneca (talk) 23:08, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Also, I've sent you an email as well. Thanks, Metros (talk) 23:11, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Mind if I look over your shoulder? Thatcher 12:03, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

&larr;Please do, Thatcher :) Folks, please note that this case is not closed yet - A l is o n  ❤ 19:28, 24 June 2008 (UTC)


 * ✅ - that =  = . Note also that WikiDon has also been editing anonymously to evade detection but this does not warrant revealing per privacy policy
 * WikiDon is also . An analysis of their contribs shows unacceptable overlap for an alternate account. Please see the results of the UserCompare tool.. Thatcher 20:45, 24 June 2008 (UTC)


 * - I don't normally discuss sanctions or actions, as checkuser, but in this case I strongly recommend that, the main account, have his indef block reduced significantly as he was blocked before the case was concluded, on the assumption that the third sock was his when it was actually WikiDon. Also, as WikiDon has been using multiple accounts abusively, he should also not evade some sanction especially as he was socking to implicate another editor who, admittedly, was also being abusive. This concludes the checkuser's part in the case - A l is o n  ❤ 20:37, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
 * General Mannino's conduct, such as the self-RFA and this attitude  are, as far as I can tell, independent of and prior to the sockpuppetry by WikiDon. Thatcher 20:45, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I have reduced General Mannino's block to 6 days, that being the remainder of the original block for Personal attacks and the like. I've also strongly urged him to stop personal attacks, and would encourage a lengthy block should he engage in further shenanigans. UltraExactZZ Claims~ Evidence 21:04, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I add that I will monitor, if and when. UltraExactZZ Claims~ Evidence 21:05, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Hmmm. OK, I guess reblocking is easy enough if it continues.  Thanks to Alison and Thatcher for some great work. --barneca (talk) 21:07, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
