 * Suspected sockpuppets


 * Evidence submitted by Adoniscik(t, c)

The IP geolocates to Columbus, OH, as does all of philscirel's puppets. Eranist and Absdefghii were created after the IP got noticed, and has similar editing patterns/summaries: repeated, persistent whitewashing of Fethullah Gülen. I request they be checked, and the ban applied to philscirel be extended to the socks.

philscirel is blocked, and evidence above suggests that eranist is the same user. Apologies if I am mistaken.

More of the same by, who has been permanently blocked for evading sanctions. Eulogizing of Fethullah Gulen by inexperienced editors; insistence on reversion to a whitewashed version of the article. The pattern is pretty consistent by now; a cursory check of previous sock submissions should suffice. A new tactic is that the socks have started to make useless edits to other articles in order not to be appear to be focused on just the Gulen article, which is really what they are here for. --Adoniscik(t, c) 16:11, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

YusrSehl has placed a remark on an AnI were (s)he shows very specific knowledge of the history of the article, by providing a link to an edit over a half year old; and about 450 edits ago. See: This user account is only active since Feb 13 2009; so such detail knowledge of an article history makes me highly suspicious this is not a new editor at all.
