 * Report submission by

One of the many blatant sockpuppets of France a - see this edit to another of their userpages. This is characteristic of all the socks, to edit each others' userpages and make insults!
 * Evidence

I made an unsportsmanlike edit but I am not France A. I have never made the type of vandalising edits France A has made to Doctor Who pages. The edit of mine above was a response to France A vandlising my home page through one of his sockpuppets. I apologize if this behavior has inadvertantly mislead anybody.
 * Defense

It should be obvious I'm not France A.

'''France A started activity on "13:09, 24 January 2007"... my first edit was on "01:30, 17 June 2006". France a wasn't even on the scene when I started my account.'''--Dr who1975 (talk) 16:03, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

Has France A or any of his sockpuppets ever shown an interest in The Untied States Congress?

Has France A or any of his sockpuppets ever put up a lot of user boxes saying things like they have degrees from FSU and GSU.

Has France A or any of his sockpuppet's ever shown an inetrest in local American political figures such as Sandy D'Alemberte, Pam Resor, or Jamie Eldridge?

I can put up more examples if you like. If you look at the history of my edits, the behavior in no way matches any of France A's behavior. The only thing I have in common with him is an interest in Dr. Who.

Porcupine is being overzealous. France A has upset a lot of us. I made a mistake.--Dr who1975 (talk) 14:45, 18 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Here's another one, I just created Louisiana's 6th congressional district special election, 2008 yesterday... I doubt France A, who probably lives in Engalnd, would ever take an interest in Louisiana politics.--Dr who1975 (talk) 15:40, 18 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Comments


 * Oppose: I've been asked by User:Dr who1975 to comment.
 * User:Porcupine's complaint is insufficient on its face. The complaint rightly shows a single instance of vandalism.  However:
 * that vandalism was not planted anonymously- it clearly belonged to User:Dr who1975, who has had a WP account much longer than the suspected sockpuppet;
 * vandalism is not enough to make a case for sockpuppetry;
 * the complaint does not make a case that User:France a is in anyway related to User:Dr who1975
 * it's hard to defend against a sockpuppetry complaint because it requires proving a negative. How can someone prove they didn't do something.  Nevertheless, User:Dr who1975's defense, while not great, is still more than sufficient to dismiss this complaint.
 * Therefore, I believe this complaint should be dropped.
 * On the other hand, I doubt User:Dr who1975's medical school background and I don't think he/she is even a doctor at all :-). —Markles 18:51, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I think the last comment about my "medical school backround" was a joke (i.e. the "Dr" in my name). I have never claimed to be a doctor. I'd be laughing if it was on my discussion page instead of here.--Dr who1975 (talk) 19:47, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes it was. —Markles 21:29, 18 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Question What evidence is there that User:Dr who1975 is the same individual that operated France a? --Kife 19:56, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Answer All the other accounts of France a left silly messages just like that on the pages of the previous ones that had already been blocked. Therefore, when a DrWho fanatic leaves a silly message just like that on the pages of a previous one that has already been blocked, I see a certain correlation.--08:01, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Simply stating something does not make it true. You have to provide evidence. Which ID's of France A's left such a message... you have to cite instances where a confirmed sockpuppet left such a message..... my ip address, 67.62.103.180, has never been accused of being asockpuppet of France A. I did use it 6 months ago to leave messages on 2 of France A's discussion pages where I called him a wanker. I told you it wasn't vandalism at the time and there wasn't repeated instances of this behavior. My IP (which was not mine before June 11) has never been used for vandalism of wikipedia pages.--Dr who1975 (talk) 02:58, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Request I need somebody to submit a Checkuser between me and User:MrClaxson User:Brinstar... MrClaxson Brinstar is a confirmed sockpuppet of France A (confirmed with chekuser) and he has engaged in edits this very day. Time is of the essence as the edits become satle and therefore ussless for checkuser... plus, I am not allowed to request one for myself. A checkuser request is the only sure way to provemy guilt or innocnce.
 * He has not edited since July 2007, actually, which is probably something to do with the fact that he's blocked.--Porcupine (prickle me! · contribs · status) 22:15, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
 * You're right, I meant User:Brinstar. It was an easy enough mistake to make since I'm not him. All of the following confirmed France A sockpuppets from Suspected sock puppets/SaxonUnit have activity within the last two weeks.

Brinstar appears to be active even today. I desperatly need a checkuser against any or all of them to prove my innocence.--Dr who1975 (talk) 22:38, 20 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Some clarification:
 * Brinstar was unblocked by me; some email conversation led me to think perhaps I'd misidentified him as a sock. Normally we automatically refuse Dr who1975's request, since checkuser is not any good at proving innocence; it can only provide evidence of guilt. But since I'd unearthed these annoyances, I checked Dr who1975, and found no IP or geographic relationship between the Dr and the SaxonUnit gang. Different hemispheres, actually. In checkuser language, ❌. --jpgordon&#8711;&#8710;&#8711;&#8710; 04:15, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Different hemispheres..as I suspected... the Saxon gang is in Europe (or maybe Austrailia/New Zealand), I'm in the U.S.--Dr who1975 (talk) 04:19, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Aside: I've reconsidered Brinstar and blocked him again. --jpgordon&#8711;&#8710;&#8711;&#8710; 19:56, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Just as long as everybody knows I'm still not him.--Dr who1975 (talk) 20:06, 21 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Oppose per all of the above, it is pretty obvious this should be dropped ASAP. — BQZip01 —  talk 08:45, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

I am not the least bit convinced by these accusations. Archiving and untagging the suspect. Jehochman Talk 04:38, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
