Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Omarcheeseboro/Archive

Evidence submitted by Umdgrad88
User Omarcheeseboro aggressively polices and edits the "Maryland Terrapins" wikipedia page with much bias to his/her own opinion/perspective, which is a violation of Wiki policies. Users who post legitimate, reference-able content have their posts immediately overturned if they do not meet this users approval. For instance a large part of the Traditions section was "selectively" and strangely edited to included information such student support, but also offensive sections labeled "Hey You Suck", while editing out official songs such as the Alma Mater & Official School Fight Song.

User claims there was consensus on edits, however further review of the discussion page shows third party comment of "Limited, local consensus". There is also no specific discussion topic on the "traditions" section that is in question, only randomly dispersed comments, of suspected puppetry by Omarcheeseboro.

Of the addtinonal users suspected of puppetry under Omarcheeseboro, a "Strikehold" account that has been in existence since the Omarcheeseboro account, set up to provide minimal edits of the actual wiki page, offers the exact Omarcheesboro agenda in talk (and is commended only by Omar). Third user "Apathyjunkie" offers no edits on the wiki page, but only posts on the discussion page to agree with Strikehold. Further, user Omarcheeseboro tried to insinuate an additional "unsigned" user posted vaguely on the Traditions topic detailed here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Maryland_Terrapins#Traditions.

The fact that this user has aggressively set out to edit/remove relevant & citeable content from multiple users on various content with sockpuppetry is a violation of the wikipedia user guidelines.

See Defending yourself against claims.

Only done after I launched a sockpuppet investigation vs. subject, wp:point. A quick look of user contributions of the accounts involved speak for themselves. In addition, on Talk:Maryland Terrapins, you will quickly see that I brought two issues to wp:30. I proposed to revamp Maryland Terrapins with a clear explanation why, and simply because two other editors agreed with me, they have been dragged into this as well. I do realize this investigation isn't about a content dispute.

User initiating this investigation did not alert all users involved. --Omarcheeseboro (talk) 14:21, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

Conclusions
I am not taking any action on either this or Sockpuppet investigations/Umdgrad88; I don't see enough convincing evidence of sock puppetry in any case on either. Rest assured, if I see anymore edit-warring there without any discussion on Talk:Maryland Terrapins, I will protect the page, and nobody will be allowed to edit it (and if I protected The Wrong Version, then too bad).
