I believe that Robertfisner is a sockpuppet is Rtfisner for similar usernames, therefore there being block evasion. ~ Feedintm Parley 17:25, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

"This claim was mad [sic] in bad faith. Please check the i.p. of Feedintm and Rtfisner. I know our usernames are similar because of an inside joke." - User talk:Robertfisner

I think that he believes I'm the user he knows very well (here, the User:Sourguy3665 gang). He also states that it's an "inside joke," which suggests that he was involved in the usage of that account. Finally, he suggests that I'm the real sockpuppet, which leads me to believe that he's trying to divert attention. As to contributions, the first account was used for vandalism of pages of random topics, whereas the second one edits articles across broad topics (more recently, this account's edits typically revolve around Sourguy3665). ~ Feedintm Parley 23:37, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments

 * I am going to need to see more evidence before I run a check. Are there any other similarities besides the usernames (ie: editing styles, editing topics, etc). There are millions of accounts on Wikipedia, so simply saying this username looks like that username is generally not enough to justify a checkuser being ran.

Oh well. Rtfisner was blocked as a VOA in 2010. Yes, Rtfisner might be Robertfisner. However, Robertfisner was somewhat constructive, and close to two years have passed since the vandalism. If they are the same person, Robertfisner can consider himself unblocked, while being reminded to avoid further silliness. Amalthea 10:36, 24 February 2012 (UTC)
