In November 2006, the page of Serge Schmemann began to attract vandalism. The edits consistently alleged that he lived in Paris with Liz Alderman. Alderman shares the masthead with Schmemann at the International Herald Tribune. The vandalism concerning his personal life continued intermittently until late September 2007, at which point the user W108th St appeared and began editing information concerning Schmemann's career. These edits were pursued in turn by an anonymous user from the IP address above, and Parissimulataneous, before the page was protected by Daniel for a month.
 * Evidence

There is no puppet master evident among the edits on the Schmemann entry. None of the sockpuppets cited above made more than a handful of edits before passing the baton to a successor, without overlap. However, the IP address corresponds with a talk page edit of Sigismont, who appeared in August 2007 and has made edits relating exclusively to entries concerning the Ten Commandments and circumcision. Although Sigismont's user page has not been created, its talk page shows that Jfdwolff admonished him for repeatedly inserting unsupported material. Unlike the other sockpuppets listed above, Sigismont was still active as of October 9th, 2007. Moreover, Sigismont is simply the English-Wikipedia incarnation of a user on the French Wikipedia. Sigismon and Sigismont have both occasionally signed entries made with the IP address 194.206.209.169 and their entries concern the same topics in the same tone.

None Some of the above users have been banned, and the user pages of Asavoir, Annsavoir, W108th St, Harvardgown, Delivery, Schmemann and Parissimultaneous have been marked as suspected sockpuppets by Utcursch.
