Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Ao333/Archive

Evidence submitted by Vedant
An almost identical interest in pages with very similar MO and ES. Same combative behaviour, personal attacks and tendency to introduce uncited material and delete referenced sources. Also notable that the presumed Sock account only became active in the period surrounding User:Ao333's temporary block from Wikipedia. In addition, the user also maintained another account which he/she occasionally used to make edits. The user was notified of this and as usual deleted this information from his talk page.

 * Ao333 seems to believe this is a racial issue which it is not. I take issue with his edits primarily because I doubt he is acting in good faith not because he may or may not be of a certain descent. Ofcourse given that Ao333's edits are generally racially motivated, I'm not particularly surprised. Vedant (talk) 11:23, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

Comments by accused parties
See Defending yourself against claims.

Please conduct an IP check. This is the 2nd time User Vedant has falsely accused me of socket puppetry. When proven so, please take action in preventing Vedant from lodging further accusations. Furthermore, Vedant appears to be reverting every edit I make (please check my recent history; this user even on one occasion wrote in the edit comment box: "whoops wrong article, my mistake" after reverting, indicating that many of these reversions are done on a systematic basis) with no knowledge of the subject/article in question. In addition, members of the plaintiff all seem to be of the Indian ethnicity and active participants in reversion of China-related articles; their general prejudice and bias records towards editors of these articles should then be taken into account when verifying their future claims.Ao333 (talk) 19:44, 7 June 2010 (UTC)


 * In response, I didn't initially accuse Ao333 of being a sockpuppet for anyone. I launched an SPI case into User:By78 which was successful however, another user added Ao333 to the list of suspected sockpuppets due to similar interests, MOs and edit summaries. In addition, I cannot assume good faith for this user especially when he has an extreme offsite bias that he occasionally infuses into his edits here and also because he received a block for edit-warring across numerous articles while trying to go against consensus. In addition, he attempted to cover this up by removing the information from his talk page but a simple review of his page history will reveal that (See ). In addition, said user is guilty of numerous racist, prejudicial and personal attacks such as the ones made here, here (see ES), here (see ES again), and here. Also, this user's accusations of prejudice against me are deeply offensive to me especially because the following was a direct comment made by the user that he/she claimed ownership for:


 * 1) Woa, how conceited can you Indians get? Have you ever went abroad? Because if you had, '''you would know that the Japanese/Chinese are holy saints compared to the Indians. We group you guys with the Africans.

'''
 * 2)''' Oh right! I forgot that Indians have a life expectancy of 65 years! I guess it's in the Indian genes to have 22% lower IQ and live 10 years shorter than the average Chinese and Japanese.

'''
 * 3) Economic power? Wait, aren't you guys in debt? Don't you guys have a negative account balance? I recall that you guys have a trading deficit with both Japan and China. So, what does that denote? No one wants ur crap, and your "domestic" economy is developing on loans, with interest, which will only grow in times to come. By the way, relying on domestic economy means no one outside your country want you BSOD critical error softwares. Japan's economy is slowing down because it made too much use of its domestic economy. It had no buffer when the Plaza Accord came. At the time of crisis, China lifted domestic consumption by lowering interest and increasing wages -- something India has been doing for the past decade. What buffer do you guys have? Your 65 years of life expectancy?


 * 4) Oh my god! India is diplomatically powerful? Yes, if dependent was what you meant... When's the last time you guys spoke up to the United States and Russia? I remember China not willing to stop manipulating its currency and being reluctant to sanction Iran and Japan kicking the US off of Okinawa and doesn't give a **** about western protests regarding whale meat. '''Will the Ruskies come to your aid when China takes Arunachal Pradesh? They'd just neglect you like Vietnam, LOL

'''
 * 5) Oh no! The Russian Federation will collapse the moment India stops purchasing its soviet-era arms. What will the Russians do with all their oil reserves?!


 * 6) Political stability? Wasn't an Indian politician shot in public just a few days ago? It doesn't happen in China or Japan, lol...


 * 7) The last time I checked, you guys still have 1/4 of Japan or China's economy. Mind you that India has 9 times the population of Japan and is growing at a much slower pace than China. I recall that the commies just grew 11.9% from Jan to Apr 2010, with Tokyo reporting their figures later this month.


 * 8) Wasn't India still ruled by Britain years after WWII ended...? So, since India was a part of the British Empire, which was a part of the Allies during WWII, you guys should be permenant members of the UNSC too, right? I follow your logic!


 * 9) Great record with the UN: don't have veto powers to make any difference.


 * 10) '''"Military power," correction: "Imported military power"

'''
 * 11) '''"represents 1/6 population of the world" with only 2% of the world's wealth.

'''
 * 12) '''I cannot comprehend PPP. Doesn't that just mean defects made and sold in India are cheaper?

'''


 * For proof that Ao333 made the comments in question and that he assumed ownership for them see this and this.
 * I reverted Ao333's edits because I don't believe they were in good faith and based on his contribution log, I think that assuming good faith would be a mistake. To come back to the original focus of this investigation, I reported Ao333 based on the evidence I presented above. If I am incorrect then may all parties involved please accept my apologies in the matter. Vedant (talk) 21:53, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

Comments by other users

 * Going by the edit summary used here it seems "nobiasplease" parrots Ao333's behavior; telling other people to stop editing while edit warring. GSMR (talk) 19:31, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
