See Pedgodown's contributions - they bear all the classic hallmarks of the editor Bonhoeffer, who is globally locked by the Stewards. Offensive language, attraction to Boxing articles, typing in all caps, and the extremely offensive edit summaries all point to this. I declare straight away that I have already dealt with Bonhoeffer previously on another project, where he was socking, and these hallmarks were recognised by the stewards when I passed the local user to them.

Based on Wikinews:User talk:Bonhoefer, Bonhoefer's global contribs, and Pedgodown's global contribs I'd call WP:DUCK. --Tothwolf (talk) 00:28, 13 April 2011 (UTC)

 * First, Bonhoefer isn't a registered account. Bonhoeffer is, but they only have two edits here. Can you give some actual diffs clarifying? —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 01:47, 13 April 2011 (UTC)

– The account isn't registered, nor has it made any edits, on en.wiki. There is nothing for us to check. –MuZemike 01:51, 13 April 2011 (UTC)

Also, while "Bonhoefer" is nonexistent, Bonhoeffer is also. –MuZemike 01:54, 13 April 2011 (UTC)


 * For the record, Bonhoefer edited on en.wn and other projects, but has had previous socks here in the past, including User:BoxingWear, who was the previous subject of an SPI, Sockpuppet_investigations/BoxingWear/Archive - Pedgodown has now been globally locked by the Stewards as a cross wiki vandal. I was not aware that Bonhoefer (from enwn) had used a different name here or I would have filed under that instead.  Fish  Barking?  03:26, 13 April 2011 (UTC)

No further action taken. I know who the "P" account belongs to, but I will not go into detail here per WP:DENY. That said, I'm quite sure Bonhoeffer is not him. –MuZemike 20:19, 17 April 2011 (UTC)
