Gotiger13


    We travel all the way back to 16th December for this one, where Gotiger13 posted a merge request (diff 1). I then responded that a merge would make an already long SpongeBob SquarePants article even longer. (diff 2) After some discussion, the merge proposal is defeated and I remove the merge template just after Christmas after waiting a few days. (diff 3) Then, on 1st January, Gralou proposes to delete the article. (diff 4) I ask why, and it is revealed that he wants the UK airdates added. I respond that while I don't have a problem with it, other editors might. (summed up in diff 5) Then my userpage was vandalised (diff 6) and a note was left back on the talk page about how Wikipedia is US-centric and how they command me to add the UK release dates. (Gralou was later blocked for incivility; diff 7). Now I have given you the background stories, on to the suspicious behaivour. This centers around one edit made on New Year's Eve (i.e. one day before Gralou proposes that the UK airdates be added). Gotiger13 vandalises the article List of SpongeBob SquarePants episodes, season five with the edit summary "If you add the dates that the episode aired in the UK, then i will stop." (diff 8) This entire RFCU centres around this one edit. My conclusion? Gotiger13 created Gralou to voice this second proposal (about the UK air dates). We may never know what their reasons were. In conclusion, I believe that this is using accounts in violation of the sockpuppet policy because they both vandalised SpongeBob-related articles as well as my userpage.

 * There are two vandals here, both who have been indef-blocked. So there's no point. It doesn't matter whether it is one guy or two guys vandalising.  Blnguyen  ( bananabucket ) 00:26, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Mea maxima culpa. Didn't notice that Gotiger13 was blocked as well. There was no talkpage notice.  N F 24 (radio me!) 00:35, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
