 * There's enough at the AN/I thread to justify a Free/Frei check. (although not a check on other users/admins). Which I've run. Read on. ++Lar: t/c 12:33, 7 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Conclusions
 * It is that
 * are related. Different continents. Frei Hans uses a variety of ISPs consistent with a long term user who uses the net from multiple places such as work and home. Free Hans is editing from a mobile phone. There are other users on that IP but they are likely unrelated too. I think Free Hans is a Joe job, someone trying to stir up trouble, but I can't say who, the evidence does not allow for an assessment. ++Lar: t/c 12:33, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

 * Suspected sockpuppets

This single edit. The suspected sock's 5th edit, shows an understanding of what sock puppets are, and meatpuppets. It is a somewhat known fact that Frei Hans thought that everyone who disagreed with him was a sock/meatpuppet, and claimed that edits to fix an article were vandalism, as seen here.
 * Evidence submitted by —  Dæ dαlus Contribs

As an aside, the suspected sock's first edit demonstrates knowledge of wikipedia jargon, such as knowing how to sign his signature. New users typically do not.

Unfortunately, this is all I have. I hope it is enough. Although the two users do not have similar editing times(10 hours apart), That single first edit compared to this edit is what makes me think this is a sockpuppet of Frei Hans. —  Dæ dαlus Contribs 02:21, 22 May 2010 (UTC)

IP blocked 1 week (i.e. the remainder of the deletion discussion) as a sock. , amongst other edits in Articles for deletion/Telepathy and war and the too-coincidental-to-write-off similarities to the edits at Articles for deletion/Synthetic telepathy, are too convincing. –MuZemike 02:41, 22 May 2010 (UTC)
