Skwing

 * Code letter: G


 * Supporting evidence: Edit war over an article which has been speedy deleted but needs a possible sockcheck nonetheless. The situation is that skwing began by adding unsourced WP:BLP violations to an article on Andrei Brennan, a Ukrainian Orthodox bishop in Canada. The resulting editwar escalated on the talk page to the point that skwing and hromek2000, the article's original creator, actually outed each other's real names on the talk page: not only do they know each other, they're related to each other and to the bishop. Eyes of bearcat roll heavenward, WP:COI warning, yadda yadda. Except the person hromek outed then showed up on my talk page under the 64 IP, insisting that he was not skwing and had nothing to do with the dispute whatsoever, and could I please do something about it because he was now getting angry phone calls from hromek. Eyes of bearcat roll heavenward, how am I such a drama magnet, yadda yadda. The problem is that skwing has made other edits that are consistent with the identity and profession of 64, right down to editing our article on the very high school where 64 teaches, and he outed hromek's real name and relationship to the bishop first, meaning that it's not a case of hromek jumping to conclusions — skwing knows far more about their family dynamic than any uninvolved party possibly could. Bottom line, somebody has to get editblocked here, but I need a sockcheck in order to figure out who:
 * 1) Does skwing=64, and he's lying to me?
 * 2) Does skwing=hromek2000, and he's been impersonating his own brother-in-law just to stir up family drama?
 * 3) Is skwing neither of them, and some third party is impersonating 64 to stir up drama between 64 and hromek?


 * I'd really like to resolve this soon, thanks... Bearcat (talk) 03:40, 19 November 2008 (UTC)
