 * Suspected sockpuppets




 * Evidence submitted by Snappy

The banned user User:Bell V Bell has a history of creating numerous sockpuppets and using them to insert hoax material (often relating to non-mainstream sexual practices) into various (usually Ireland related and County Mayo related) articles. Some of this hoax material is obvious, other stuff is more insidious. A small percentage of edits are good edits, e.g. copyediting/spelling etc, presumably in an effort to sow confusion. Also, some user names are rather laboured puns on toilet 'humour'.

I squat before you this evening, accused of terrible crimes. I have very little to say except "guilty as charged". There is little I can do but place myself in the hands of your Lordship and ask that some leniency may be shown. Please take my guilty plea into account when considering my sentence. Please also take into the account the fact that a life ban would deprive me of an opportunity to reform and give something back to this community. Mr. Snappy is an inspirational Wikipedian. He has discovered many of my contributions to Wikipedia and has taken me to task like a true gentleman. I am sure that I have tested his patience, but he restrains himself and betrays little more than slight exasperation. I am sure that he would join in asking for my case to be dealt with compassionately.

I beg you to spare me.

P.S. I am not Bell v Bell. He seems like a right bollocks.


 * As you can see from the above response, the accused thinks the whole think is hilarious. This individual is either 15 y/o or has a mental age of 15. Just another total timewasting, attention seeking saddo. Snappy (talk) 20:46, 29 September 2009 (UTC)


 * As a co-accused, I must say that Mr. Snappy is mistaken. We take all of this very seriously and the accusations which are hanging over each of us are causing us much distress. His withering comments have added to our distress and worry. We hadn't heard anyone being called a "saddo" recently. Well not except the last time Mr. Snappy had a go at one of our friends or that time last week at the bus stop when we heard a clever 15 year old use it as a devastatingly witty response to an accusation of being a "spa" and a "weirdo". Unless of course it was a typo and he meant to make references to "non-mainstream sexual practices". What a lovely turn of phrase. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jack Srole (talk • contribs) 18:17, 30 September 2009 (UTC)


 * I really shouldn't be feeding the trolls, but its Sir Snappy to you in future. Now excuse while I do something amazing, namely the addition of factual and referenced material to an article with the aim of improving it. Snappy (talk) 19:46, 30 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Ok Sir Snappy, fair enough, I suppose you have a point.Jack Srole (talk) 18:26, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

Self-endorsing for CheckUser attention. I have a strong suspicion that these aren't all of them. We've also had an underlying IP blocked in past checks on this user; there is likely another one here. MuZemike 18:47, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
