Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/Bakasuprman


 * 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:Bakasuprman

 * Evidence

Evidence in my opinion is quite incriminating.

Lets start first by the most convincing piece of evidence...

1. Look at the contribution history of the two users For user Subash Bose and For user Bakasuprman If you glance carefully at this you wil notice that only one of the user is active at any given point in time. This speaks volumes of sockpuppetry.

2. Lets review the history of talk page of User:Subash_Bose


 * a) At 11:04, 17 August 2006 I ask him if he has a habit of stalking.... he seems hurt so first he replies but logs off at around  11:14, 17 August 2006 after posting his reply and logs in as Bakasuprman.
 * You can confirm this from his contribs page... after his contrib at 11:19, 17 August 2006 he logs off and logs on as Bakasuprman.
 * (Just to add... he logs back as Subash at around 16:39, 17 August 2006 as from his contribs)


 * He's inactive during following periods 11:19 - 16:39, 16:49 - 20:25, pretty active all other times.


 * Now Bakasuprman's contribs reveal the following:


 * b) He logs in at around 18:05, remains very active replying almost every 5-10 mins and becomes inactive after contributing at 19:44, 17 August 2006
 * He remains inactive for almost 2 Hrs... why? because at 20:25 he re-emerges as..... User:Subash
 * So he is active during 14:34 - 14:48, 18:05 - 19:44 which absolutely goes with his absence in a. above

I have'nt done a very detailed investigation, but I am convinced if I investigate further in these lines, the evidence is rock solid.

3. Usually this user edits articles which have been vandalised to a large extent by the master puppet Subash... look at Gujarat revision history of Gujarat riots With User:Subash getting blocked, User:Bakasuprman appears modifying the very same piece of article as Subash. Upon my reminding him of 3RR violation he becomes quite with a fear of losing yet another established wiki user.

4. Today Bakasuprman is particularly very active since Subash cannot do much of talking

5. The mannerism and the edit descriptions are very similiar...

I think we have another sockpuppet of Netaji in Bakasuprman. --Geek1975 08:30, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Comment What a joke. I am in no way of form a sockpuppet. This is merely an attack to get me out of the way. Obviously I am active because people like Geek will flood the page with POV.Bakaman Bakatalk 16:42, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Comment 2 - Geek is not even a sysop. How can he identify when someone logs in and out? As for POV Geek has supported another user when he called me "fascist" and "hindu taliban". Bakaman Bakatalk 18:13, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
 * There was no 3RR vio and I was not even awake when Geek posted the specious "warning". Usually edits articles vandalized? Most of my contribs have been in those articles only to combat POV pushers like Geek. Why am I inactive sometimes during the day? Perhaps I have other things to do in the real world. Btw, I was on wikibreak 21st and 22nd of August.  Bakaman Bakatalk  18:13, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Comment : I feel there is an unhealthy assumption of bad faith here. About point 3 - If that had been the case, then the other user would've been auto blocked. -- thunderboltza.k.a.D e epu Joseph18:48, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Of course. Therefore, unless MediaWiki isn't working, then that would be correct. And since MediaWiki is working, these are not sockpuppets. Iola k ana • T  19:05, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
