Disruption and trolling to the September 11 attacks article during an ongoing Rfc. The user Indefinitelybanned referred to a thread on reddit in their first post to the 9/11 talk page. For trolling and disruption, Indefinitelybanned was indefinitely blocked by Antandrus Almost as soon as they were blocked (six hours later) the account Historycommons was created. It seems to be a sockpuppet account. When questioned, they also referred to reddit: And is adding nothing but disruption during an ongoing Rfc.... No idea who the head master is, but its an experienced editor and likely a ban evader. May or may not be a rabbit hole. MONGO 07:59, 6 September 2014 (UTC)

Yeah, that's me, not sure how it fits definition of sock though, since it was newly created account that got indefinitely banned immediately after set up. Crazy stuff... Would have had explained the reason behind the nick to admin, if given a chance. I'll take this one and say that I'm heavy user, since we have to be so careful about factual accuracy of contentious articles on Wikipedia; I adopted the golden rule to carefully check the talkpages of disputed entries. I'm keen observer of 9/11 attacks talk page, and if you click on the usernames recorded there you'll find out that a lot of folks got indefinitely banned for stating their opinions. You are one of the editors who are all over that place, often uncivil and acting like you own the place, you even have caps on, it's like you're craving to be noticed (dude, you're a zealot). It is you who needs to be investigated, and you are, every now and then. To sockpuppet investigators. I'm not an editor here, time won't allow, doubt that I'll have pleasure or will to point some things out after the weekend. Historycommons (talk) 10:46, 6 September 2014 (UTC)
