Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/TadjHolmes/Archive

Evidence submitted by Smartse
TadjHolmes was reported to COIN earlier today due to their editing of VG_Chartz and Brett Walton. JadamHosey registered later on today and is acting in a similar way to TadjHolmes, removing maintenance tags, edit warring and basically making the VG Chartz article promotional. The evidence is entirely behavioural and it could well be meatpuppetry rather than sockpuppetry, but either way I think it passes the duck test. SmartSE (talk) 15:39, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

The two accounts are ✅. JadamHosey has been indefinitely blocked, while TadjHolmes has been blocked 3 days for the sock puppetry. –MuZemike 19:15, 13 November 2010 (UTC)

Evidence submitted by Smartse
Another SPA related to VG Chartz. Only edits have been adding references to the site, or arguing that it is a reliable source, against an apparently long running consensus that it is not at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Video_games SmartSE (talk) 10:17, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
 * The IP is also editing in a similar manner, for example note that TadjHolmes' first edits were arguing that VG Chartz should be treated as an RS, exactly what the IP is now doing. SmartSE (talk) 10:22, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
 * This forum post on their website also provides evidence of meatpuppetry. SmartSE (talk) 10:36, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

See Defending yourself against claims. I hope that's what I'm supposed to do to defend myself. I have edited, only under Havokclix, from multiple IPs because I travel around the country for my work. --Havokclix (talk) 16:34, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

 * I'm endorsing this for CU to suss out whether this is sockpuppetry or meatpuppetry. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 13:03, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
