Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/AI


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the case of suspected sockpuppetry. Please do not modify it. No further edits should be made to this page. All edits should go to the talk page of this case. If you are seeing this page as a result of an attempt to open a new case of sockpuppetry of the same user, read this for detailed instructions.

User:AI
This user and  and perhaps other incarnations have been banned indefinitely from editing on Wikipedia. Any sockpuppetry by these people is there an illegitimate use of a sock and is prohibited. The user is suspected of being another incarnation of this banned user. ESL344G has made only edits to a single article on Wikipedia, namely Talk:Barbara Schwarz and the edits there are highly suspicious, as they appear to come from someone with a fairly deep understanding of the case of Ms. Schwarz, but the user purports that Ms. Schwarz is not notable. Well then, if she isn't notable, how did ESL344G just so happen to stumble across this page? The user appears to be fairly familiar with the Wikipedia process of talk pages and user talk pages, leading further evidence that this is an incarnation of an experienced editor and not a new user. This user should have a CheckUser performed on them to ensure that we are not dealing with yet another incarnation of the banned user AI, Nickitchenko, or another of their socks.Vivaldi (talk) 03:32, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Evidence


 * Comments
 * Vivaldi XXXXXXXX, you and your sock puppets spam your version of the now deleted hateful Wikipedia article on me for a year or longer on Usenet to harass and attack me. The article is noticed as you, and your friends, spam it day by on Usenet. Tilman Hausherr posted on Usenet that there was a third vote in this Wikipedia article. If you post about it on Usenet, you don't have to be surprised that people come here.


 * Poster ESL244G came at the same time as Steve Dufour. AI and ESL244 G have very different posting styles. But I like them both. I wonder however, when you will be barred. I vote for it. -- Barbara Schwarz comment left by


 * User 216.190.12.37, you have been warned that posting what you believe to be the real life names of editors is against the policy of Wikipedia, your continued failure to heed these warnings will get you blocked. Vivaldi (talk) 05:32, 12 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Barbara Schwarz: Regarding CheckUser which was submitted by a Wikipedia user. This must be performed pursuant to Wikimedia CheckUser privacy policy and performed by system administrator. With clearance, perhaps we can return to creating a solid, well sourced article that is fair, impartial and an article written without malice or hate. I would also encourage everyone to behave like adults on Schwarz's talk page and not in an excited or agitated manner. Leave out name calling and derogatory remarks. The article will flow better if everyone is relaxed.--ESL344G 23:12, 12 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Wow, you are so experience about these policies, for a newbie. Even I am clueless about this, I only know the term. But then, I've never been accused of running sockpuppets. --Tilman 06:16, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

Funny thing is that I rather suspect this user to be a sock puppet either of 216.190.12.37 (i.e. coming from Salt Lake City through sisna.com), or of another registered user who has also participated in that discussion in the past (I prefer not to mention him because although I don't (word "don't" inserted later, but it was what I meant) agree with his arguments, he has always been very civil with me). --Tilman 08:06, 12 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Tilman, I have nothing left to say to you. In my opinion, your focus toward Barbara has been a campaign of dislike.--ESL344G 23:31, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

While doing this, please check also whether is a sock puppet of any other person participating in the discussion. The user only participated in this discussion, and supports "my side", this is just too good to be true :-) --Tilman 12:32, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
