Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Pantherskin/Archive

Evidence submitted by Poeticbent
I have a strong feeling that user:Varsovian is a clone of user:Pantherskin editing in the same topic area under different name. Both are new users, with accounts created two months apart, who have gone straight into supporting each other's !votes at AfD, which would be an act of abusive sockpuppetry if confirmed. See, how they work in unison, in spite of their mutual conflict of interest, at Articles for deletion/Richard Tylman (3rd nomination) (diff) (diff) and Wikipedia:Deletion review/Richard Tylman (3rd nomination) (diff) (diff). Both are WP:EEML lobbyists (see: warning to Pantherskin) mirroring one another (diff) (diff), who learned about my real life identity only during this ArbCom case. They came into the picture roughly at the same time to continue the pattern of edit warring at Richard Tylman and lobbying at its talk page, which is an article about me. Here Varsovian reverts an edit by Off2riorob to reinstate this edit by Pantherskin. They voted "delete" at a failed AfD as well as the immediate DRV, in an attempt to make it appear there was a consensus for their agenda. They both continue to remove reliable third-party references and wage a joint campaign of trying to disfigure the article about me (see Talk:Richard Tylman ).

Thanks for not notifying me of this investigation, Poeticbent, and also for putting my real name here on the board. With regards to Varsovian, we registered at different dates, we edited in different topic areas until the EEML case and the Richard Tylman article. The link provided by the clerk makes that actually quite clear http://toolserver.org/~betacommand/UserCompare/Pantherskin.html. Pantherskin (talk) 08:21, 30 January 2010 (UTC)

And thank you for not notifying me about this investigation Poeticbent. Do you have any further attacks which you would like to make on me?Varsovian (talk) 18:06, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
