Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Die4Dixie/Archive

Evidence submitted by Jehochman
Die4Dixie appears to be an obvious sock of User:God Save the South and User:Confederate till Death. Die4Dixie was community banned in their own right after voting at WP:ACE2009. I've been told that the vote will count, unless we get a formal determination of sock puppetry. The prior accounts were indefinitely blocked long before the election started. See this comment by an uninvolved administrator and this discussion for insight. Could we get a determination, please. This needs to be done quickly, before votes are tallied.

Additionally, I'd like a check on User:William S. Saturn who was formerly socking as User:Uga Man. I request the two current accounts William S. Saturn and Die4Dixie have checkuser run to determine if they have any sleeper socks around, or if they might in fact be the same user. William S. Saturn has been vigorously defending Die4Dixie and God Save the South. .

I also request that a behavioral determination be made whether Die4Dixie == God Save the South == Confederate till Death. Thank you. I regret bringing election controversy here, but the users at Wikipedia_talk:Arbitration_Committee_Elections_December_2009 have asserted that no corrective action would be possible without a formal determination.

was created one day after 's last edit so they are obvious socks. As for Die4Dixie, Wikistalk reveals no overlap between their edits. Furthermore from looking at the timing of the edits, it seems unlikely. For example, looking at the edits from April 5th, 2008  it would seem that the person would have to be logged into both accounts simultaneously.  Triplestop  x3  02:36, 5 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Good catch on the overlap. I agree that one user would have a very hard time doing both those sets of edits. Jehochman Talk 05:22, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

CheckUser requests
Requested by Jehochman Talk 01:32, 5 December 2009 (UTC)


 * no accounts left to checkuser. NW ( Talk ) 19:47, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

Conclusions

 * Closing, as there is nothing that checkuser can do here as far as establish a relationship to strike the vote. In addition, there is not enough information to run a checkuser on William S. Saturn. NW ( Talk ) 18:20, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
