 * Suspected sockpuppets

Suspected sockpuppets only activity consists of posting links self referencing Michael Crook's inflammatory blog. Bloggin4truth is Michael Crook as evidenced from self creation of own article and other contributions only adding links to own blog. No other constructive edits by sockmaster or sockpuppet. No discussion and complete non use of edit summaries by both. Mfield (talk) 19:41, 17 February 2009 (UTC) See diff and diffs Username Whatgoesup11 is clearly an inflammatory username when editing an article on a plane crash.

I've gone through all of his contributions (including those of Whatgoesup11, ohiotruth and Freedomblogger). The only ones that aren't about Crook himself are repeated attempts to add the epithet "douchebag" to the name of a KIA police officer (,, , and ) and two minor edits to Comair Flight 191 by Freedomblogger. There is a clear pattern of repeated insertion of inflammatory, controversial or otherwise unsuitable material with no citations other than references to his own blog, and of engaging in revert wars, as seen for instance in WRCX-LP and Continental Connection Flight 3407, without ever starting or participating in a discussion about those reverts.

Repeated attempts to add link to own (highly inflammatory) blog to Continental Connection Flight 3407:

 * Just a note
 * and would be inconclusive, unless some edits were oversighted for a CU. -- Kanonkas :  Talk  12:16, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure what you mean. All of Ohiotruth's contributions (11 in all) and all but two of FreedomBlogger's contributions (5 out of 7) are directly related to Michael Crook, specifically to a conflict between him and a former employer (see ) and to his 2 Unlimited fan club.

 * I'm saying per our config (see CheckUser) the CheckUser tool can't retrieve information for edits longer then 3 months. -- Kanonkas : Talk  14:34, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

 * Yes... so report it at WT:SPI next time please ;). I think I've fixed it for this time though. ——  nix eagle email me 17:17, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

. Anyone making edits like these accounts should be immediately blocked indefinitely for violating WP:BLP policy and, basically, trolling. What would a CheckUser accomplish? Just find an administrator; WP:ANI may help. Dominic·t 20:00, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
