Pages created by User:Texas Whitt (examples, , , ) were nominated for speedy deletion (lack of notability, per WP:SCHOOL) or proposed deletion. In some cases, the notices were deleted by this user (example), or User:Chad01 (example). User:Chad01 claimed he/she created the articles in the first place. The IP editor 24.74.245.94 has edited only on these articles and has also been removing deletion notices (example).

 * User:Chad01 also made a curious threat to block me, although the user does not appear to have administrator authority. -- Scjessey (talk) 02:33, 28 July 2008 (UTC)


 * User:Chad01 has started deleting comments from my user talk page, perhaps in an attempt to hide his/her actions, and he/she also blanked this very report (and again). -- Scjessey (talk) 02:57, 28 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Ok, First I have no more accounts other than this that i use. I have the right to delete anything ANYTHING that is mine or that i typed. I do not know who the User: Texas Whit (I believe was the name) is. So this report is a waste of everyones time when you could be using it to better a article that it may be useful to because whatever you trying to accomplish won't work. I can always make another account. If you trying to get mine locked. Thanks  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Chad01 (talk • contribs) 03:07, 28 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Well, I don't know what your argument with Chad01 is, but I can honestly say I am not a sock puppet (and my wife would agree). I'm sure if you took the time you could go to my other contributions and see a difference in style between mine and his. I appreciate your notices to me about the notability guidelines since this is new to me - I didn't realize all schools weren't considered notable. However, I do agree with Chad that maybe you shouldn't be so quick on the draw when someone is in the middle of creating an article.  I think I had the first paragraph up for all of about 20 seconds when I got the notice questioning notability.  Do you have a bot scouting for obscure middle schools? Maybe you need to take a break from Wikipedia to cool off and get some perspective.--Texas Whitt (talk) 03:37, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

 * I came here randomly because the reporter's page is on my watch list. In this edit edit claims incorrectly to be an admin, and here claims to be have a sock admin account.  If true this is an abuse of admin powers and abusive sockpuppetry so both accounts indef. blocked.  If false this is a disruptive threat with no plausible good faith explanation, which would also support an indef. block.  Given that the editor has admitted to sockpuppetry they lose any right to privacy or an assumption of good faith - best to run a checkuser to possibly figure out what is going on.  Or if its very unlikely they have an admin account, just block and be done with it.   04:29, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
