Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/The Wiki House/Archive

Report date May 12 2009, 01:08 (UTC)

 * Suspected sockpuppets


 * Evidence submitted by Avraham

Please see the talk page of User:The Wiki House together with the discussion at Wikipedia talk:Requests for adminship. Users seem to have been editing simultaneously (see contributions) which implies sock/meat puppetry and not account discards. -- Avi (talk) 01:08, 12 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Comments by accused parties    See Defending yourself against claims.


 * We share a house and a broadband connexion and are doing Information Science project work on Wikipedia. We started off with a single account until it was pointed out that that was a violation of WP:NOSHARE, so we created three separate accounts and declared the connexions: we haven't used The Wiki House since then.  We have been careful not even to be seen as trying to manipulate any discussions or voting.  I hope that's OK?  Groomtech (talk) 19:08, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Supplementary -- that was on 02 May. Kenilworth Terrace (talk) 06:17, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

 * I did take a quick look, but found no obvious foul play of the sort that would lead me to reveal findings or go digging much further. It does seem worth noting that A.K.Nole, Groomtech, and Kenilworth Terrace all appear to self-identity as socks or alt accounts for The Wiki House. – Luna Santin  (talk) 06:02, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
 * obvious enough glancing at User:The Wiki House and the other userpages. Glancing at their contributions, a firm reminder to stick to a single account might be in order but I can't see any team tagging. -- Luk  talk 08:16, 12 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Can we get three or four more CUs to take a look at this case just to be safe? :-P Nathan  T (formerly Avruch) 17:54, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
