 * Suspected sockpuppets

User:Scholarlyarticles inserted a lengthy section into Sean Combs a few days ago that was removed for BLP issues and undue weight. I checked out his other contributions and discovered he had added poorly sourced derogatory material and copyright material to a whole suite of articles. Most of his edits have been reverted. The user does not understand our policies and does not understand copyright law, and thinks I am on some kind of vendetta. Earlier today he made a series of posts (not realizing I can see his IP) pretending to be two different people at Talk:Ticketmaster. Now, at Talk:Jimmy Henchman, he is threatening to go on some kind of rampage. The material he has posted at talk:Jimmy Henchman has already been removed from the article itself for BLP and copyright concerns. I am sure the IP and User:Scholarlyarticles are the same person pretending to be multiple people. I can't block him myself as I am a major contributor to the Sean Combs article. Thanks for your help. -- Dianna (talk) 02:29, 26 August 2012 (UTC) Dianna (talk) 02:29, 26 August 2012 (UTC)

 * I've left a note on his talk page. They may be the same person, but I'm not seeing tradtional "abuse" yet.  I'm monitoring this editor closely due to other issues.  Feel free to ping me on my talk page with any concerns or notes. Dennis Brown -  2&cent;    &copy;   Join WER 15:25, 26 August 2012 (UTC)

 * Nothingknewunderthesun is suspicious given their first edit and the two questions here. Before we do anything else (like a checkuser, is this your account? Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 14:04, 20 September 2014 (UTC)
 * since a response from didn't appear to be forthcoming, I went ahead and ran a check. Technically the two accounts are very  the same person, which I don't think will surprise anyone given the behavioural overlap.-- Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots  23:18, 9 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks Ponyo. I can't see any interactions which fall a foul of WP:ILLEGIT so I think we cab close this without action. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 01:15, 10 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Before closing it's probably worth asking Nothingknewunderthesun to disclose their previous per WP:SOCK. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 03:28, 10 October 2014 (UTC)


 * Both accounts are tagged as alternates of each other. Closing. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 03:59, 10 October 2014 (UTC)
