User Chetrasho has been engaged in edit warring behavior including multiple reverts of other users' content, some with hostile Edit summaries such as here. Narrowly avoided 3RR violation on 5 February, 7 February, and 8 February On 8 February appears to have used sock2 listed above, IP to make 4th revert in 24 hours. 3rd revert by IP suspected sock is here and when it was reverted by another editor the 4RR by Chetrasho username was done a few minutes later here Has been warned multiple times, including here and here  SPECIFICO  talk  01:15, 9 February 2013 (UTC)

A user named "Chetrasho" has apparently been soliciting meatpuppets to join him on WP at external sites:   Text of #3 tweets link to solicitation: "Bitcoin and Monetary Sovereignty on Wikipedia {gives shortened link to solicitation}  #bitcoin"  SPECIFICO  talk  21:14, 9 February 2013 (UTC)

A user with only one other edit on its history, user:Filfafoo45, has done a wholesale reversion to text entered by user Chetrasho here:  The edit summary says "Please discuss major changes on talk page before editing." However the reversion would only appear to be a major change to user Chetrasho who contributed almost all of the text that was extant prior to last month. In fact, the material reverted in this edit did not consist of a major change or series of major changes but rather occurred through a series of incremental changes and talk discussions. SPECIFICO talk  17:04, 15 February 2013 (UTC) In the following talk page entry, (see the hidden content captioned "side issue") user:Chetrasho attempts to start a vote to re-insert the material that was subsequently re-inserted by user:Filfafoo45. At the same time, Chetrasho was soliciting participation at Reddit and other off-Wiki sites, presumably to stack the vote. SPECIFICO talk  15:03, 16 February 2013 (UTC)

 * per addition of secondary account + new evidence subsequent to Rschen declining. Please see and  for the relevant edits. Additionally given how long these users have been registered, it seems likely that there will be some sleepers lying around, although it's possible this is solicited editing rather than sockpuppetry.

 * Named accounts are ❌, but I will need to ask Filfafoo45 some questions regarding their older account. . ​—DoRD (talk)​ 03:04, 23 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Since I have not received a response from the operator of Filfafoo45, and since both accounts have been editing similar (libertarian) topics, I will confirm that = . ​—DoRD (talk)​ 03:12, 1 March 2013 (UTC)
