 * Suspected sockpuppets


 * Evidence submitted by McJeff

The background info. User:Commoncase has shown a very strong focus on editing an article about the professional wrestling documentary film Bloodstained Memoirs. There is in fact substantial evidence that he is actually involved in the film, although he has denied it.

One of his distinctive editing habits is make, for lack of a better word, threats, consisting mainly of insinuations and declarations that the "moderators" are going to "take action" and hand out punishments to the "vandals" who edit the articles.

Today, User:Arthur Cutz returned from a 5 month absence to continue Commoncase's edit war. Arthur continued many of the behaviors of Commoncase, including...


 * Threats of "action"/future consequences. Commoncase Arthur Cutz Arthur Cutz
 * Filing reports at AIV over the article Commoncase Arthur Cutz
 * Difficulties spelling the word "permanent". "perminate" - Commoncase "permenate" - Arthur Cutz
 * Inability to differentiate between a content dispute and vandalism - no diffs to support this but a casual look at their contributions will show - while I've been busy filing this Arthur Cutz has complained to admins directly and even posted on Long term abuse about this.
 * Additionally, a look at their writing style utterly fails the Duck Test.

 * Clerk, patrolling admin and checkuser comments

I was the admin that originally protected the page in question based on a perceived edit war. On further investigation and based on McJeff's evidence above, these two users are very clearly the same person. and both blocked indefinitely for abusive sockpuppetry and 3RR evasion. ~ mazca  talk 20:49, 1 September 2009 (UTC)
