 * Suspected sockpuppets


 * Evidence submitted by ScienceApologist (talk)

Davkal is a perennial abuser of sockpuppets and tends to act the way this user is acting at Parapsychology and List of pseudosciences. We will need to find an administrator who is familiar with Davkal's activities to confirm such as User:PhilKnight or User:MastCell. In particular, he has been specifically targeting edits that I have made to those pages in his typical obsessive fashion. This particular user resolves to UK similar to Davkal.

Examples:


 * edit summary asserting that a source is "almost certainly false". Davkal is known for denigrating this particular source. E.g.
 * makes a highly contentious edit aimed to rile. Compare with
 * notice the attempt at humor in the edit summary that is similar to

Landed little marsdon was created on December 5, 2008, and immediately began edit warring on Parapsychology, a topic MartinPhi (who was ostensibly on a WikiBreak at the time) was previously an editor of, his first edit including intermediate knowledge of wikipedia phrases ("rv"). His next two edits were the creation of his user and user talk pages.

After a few more edits to Parapsychology and Talk:Parapsychology, the account went dead untill 20:06, 10 January 2009, when it suddenly became involved in the highly controversial List of topics characterized as pseudoscience. Martinphi was indeffed at 15:48, 12 January 2009. Much like Martinphi, Landed little marsdon has, aside from some edits made after a previous editor raised sockpuppetry almost soley contributed to articles on fringe-science on the side of more-credence.

While LLM was granted noblesse oblige untill now, he has returned to reverting Science Apologist, which was exactly what MartinPhi was indeffed for. Note:Merged from Sockpuppet investigations/Martinphi


 * Comments by accused parties    See Defending yourself against claims.

I don't think much of the evidence. "Davkal makes jokes and so did you", or "Davkal didn't like a source and you said it didn't support a claim" (it doesn't btw and you misrepresent what I said about that). This is also about the third different person I'm supposed to be: first I was BodhiAgonist or whoever s/he really is since that's an admitted other account, then I was Martinphi (three different people have said I'm him), and now, because I live in the UK, I'm someone called Davkal. This seems a bit like slinging as much mud as possible in the hope that some will stick.

Anyway, anyway, anyway, how can I prove who I am in a way that would satisfy those here. If someone guarantees my RL identity will not be widely revealed I will provide it, although I'm not sure even that will convince some of you. Landed little marsdon (talk) 18:32, 10 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Comments by other users
 * I'm of the opinion that this particular user is probably someone else: Sockpuppet investigations/Landed little marsdon. The geolocation for this user is UK, from whence hails. ScienceApologist (talk) 14:58, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I also do not think this is Mr. Phi. A previous checkuser on him came back unrelated.  I would assume the checkuser would have discovered any sockpuppetry by Mr. Phi upon that check.  However, per the links above it's clear that LLM is not a new user and is engaging in disruptive behavior on these articles, so I formally request a checkuser.  If that's the protocol.

❌ to Martinphi, as before. it is Davkal, but based on geography alone, not IP correlation. Dominic·t 20:17, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
