Suspected sockpuppets

User edited the John Sackar article in the exact same style as the sockmaster, claiming that they've changed the article with the permission of Sackar and the NSW Supreme Court. (Basically, they're claiming ownership of the article.) If this isn't the same person, they're definitely WP:MEAT. User has socked before. The sockmaster was blocked for violating WP:No legal threats. Requesting CU to check for any other socks and to confirm that they are the same person. If they are not, I still believe they can be blocked based on behavioral evidence alone.  — Gestrid  ( talk ) 06:10, 3 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Have you used the account Legalhistory? It's been blocked indefinitely for making legal threats.  —  Gestrid  ( talk ) 06:22, 3 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Added the account Legalminded to the list even though they're already blocked in case it helps with a CU.  — Gestrid  ( talk ) 06:27, 3 November 2016 (UTC)
 * The only way to get that removed is by asking an administrator. That's not likely to happen at the moment because it's pertinent to this case., I added it in case it helps with any type of CU thing.  —  Gestrid  ( talk ) 06:30, 3 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Also, please do not edit-war on the article.  — Gestrid  ( talk ) 06:38, 3 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Just a note to anyone patrolling SPI: The editor has started a discussion for consensus on the talk page of the article they were edit-warring on. Also, per the editor's request below, please hide the edit summary of this edit from public view once this case is over.  —  Gestrid  ( talk ) 07:08, 3 November 2016 (UTC)

I accept that I have used multiple accounts, some with the same IP address, but I have only done so because I forgot my passwords on the other accounts. I have never misused these accounts. As can be seen, I have only edited part of the page and I definitely do not claim any sort of ownership to the account - it remains an entirely public page. I have just edited it because the previous information was inaccurate. I have since rectified this and all the information on the page "John Sackar" is not correct and totally accurate.

 * The information has been sourced from trusted websites so it is not inaccurate and removing big chunks of information would not help prove the case. I'm also pretty sure there is a "Forgot your password" button to press if you forgot the password or you could just keep logged in like I do. You were also blocked for legal threats which is a clear violation of the WP:No legal threats policy so you would not be allowed back on WIkipedia.

yes I have and I understand the ramifications and impropriety of the comments that were made. I have since never made such a threat and tried to delete legal history but do not know how to. I will never make such a threat again. All I want to do is rectify the page so it refflect the true and accurate information. nicholassaady (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 06:25, 3 November 2016 (UTC)

Do we really need to add Legalminded to the list? That account is already blocked. The Ninja5 Empire ( Talk ) 06:29, 3 November 2016 (UTC)
