 * Suspected sockpuppets


 * Evidence submitted by Toddst1 (talk)


 * has a brief and troubled editing history, adding racially opinionated, sometimes inflammatory edits to multiple pages, most significantly Rob Knox.
 * The IP added "mixed-race individual" to a sentence in both Jordan (Katie Price) and Rob Knox and discussing it on Talk:Rob Knox. In the case of Rob Knox, the edit was reverted by
 * was then created, adding to the the discussion on Talk:Rob Knox where the IP left off, giving the illusion that two different editors hold that opinion.
 * reinserted the IP's content that was previously reverted on Rob Knox and stated "I will continue to add the race of the murderer."
 * also edits only about racial issues and has had a similarly troubled editing career.

It's clear to me that both editors are the same WP:SPA who is making it appear that they art two different people in the discussion on Talk:Rob Knox. Further, it appears that the sole purpose of these accounts might be to push a specific agenda.
 * The point may be moot now as the editor has been indefinitely blocked for racist POV pushing. Toddst1 (talk) 05:03, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

This is my story: I edited without an account for a couple of weeks. I created this account to avoid ip editing. It really is that simple. If you look at my account creation date, you'll see that those ip comments on Talk:Rob_Knox came before the creation of this account. If I had known an administrator would campaign to get me banned, I would have explicitly stated that I was the same user. At the time, I didn't feel it was necessary. In any case, I made no effort to hide the fact that we were the same users. In short, the accusations of IPsock on this page resulted from me creating a new account. I'm sure there are thousands upon thousands of cases on Wikipedia of users with innocent motives creating a new, original account from IP origins to continue discussion.

As for the alleged IPsocks: Mortician103 (talk) 01:28, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
 * - Is me from before creating this account.
 * - Is me making a few contributions at a public place before creating this account.
 * - Is a different user.

On an additional note, I request that this page be taken down expediently. I do not appreciate having my IP address out there for the world to see; this is why I created this account. It is extremely easy to prove that no IPsocking occurred and I simply created a new account. Given the complete ignorance of the simple fact of my account creation date, I can't help but feel that this is an intimidation tactic. Mortician103 (talk) 01:36, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

# Mortician103 (talk · contribs) reinserted the IP's content that was previously reverted on Rob Knox and stated "I will continue to add the race of the murderer." Also, that quote is given on the condition that someone (continue the debate and debunk my arguments)'. You neglected this condition, which speaks of the dubious nature of this page. Please improve your conduct. Mortician103 (talk) 01:42, 21 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Comments by other users

User:Mortician103 was indef blocked on March 20th for actions unrelated to socking. and are acknowledged IPs of the user and have not edited since March 17th and 5th, respectively. As for, a WHOIS search resolves to Los Angeles, California, while the other IPs resolve to the East Coast of the United States. 64.134.252.10 is expressing a similar viewpoint to Mortician103, however, the editing styles are inconclusive and they have only crossed paths at Talk:Jesse Washington lynching. At this time there is not enough to justify a block based on socking. KnightLago (talk) 20:40, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
