 * Evidence

Procutus early activity:
 * 15:27, 24 August 2008 Procutus New user account
 * Account was created as User:BLP-vio-remover, see


 * 15:32, 24 August 2008 N User:Procutus ‎ (Created page with 'I thrust with my mighty pork sword to remove BLP vios.')
 * An aggressive cleanup agenda is characteristic of Fredrick day, see User:Killerofcruft et seq


 * 15:33, 24 August 2008 N User talk:Procutus ‎ (Created page with 'hi')
 * "Hi" talk creation common with Fredrick day socks:

edits to Cooper Brown
 * 11:10, 10 March 2008 Fredrick day (Revert ...)
 * Plus nine prior edits.


 * 17:35, 19 August 2008 87.114.163.185 (please don't delete references)
 * 08:25, 20 August 2008 87.114.163.185 (he's not real so we are not having a misleading article that says he is,.)

Having been vandalized by Fredrick day IP, I looked at IP contributions and saw the above edits to Cooper Brown. So I reverted. And then IP from this range edit warred, followed by a revert from Procutus.
 * 12:51, 31 August 2008 87.113.10.208 (...)
 * 07:18, 1 September 2008 87.115.11.174 (... you are making this article completely incorrect, your stalking of me isn't more important than that)
 * Common theme of Fredrick day is that I'm supposedly stalking him. However, I only respond to vandalism and harassment by checking contributions of the IP vandal.


 * 16:48, 1 September 2008 87.112.5.23 (...)
 * See also where this IP acknowledges being Fredrick day.


 * 21:41, 1 September 2008 Procutus (well stub it then - better that - than you altering an article so it is 100% incorrect.)
 * (I stubbed the article.)

Procutus then dropped a 3RR warning on my Talk: and demanded I go to checkuser. and added:
 * 21:57, 1 September 2008 Procutus(3 rr)
 * 22:47, 1 September 2008 Procutus (3RR: go and request the checkuser.)
 * 22:48, 1 September 2008 Procutus (Talk | contribs) (118,537 bytes)
 * This vigorous response to sock suspicion is characteristic of Fredrick day.

Procutus was blocked by TenOfAllTrades: 22:57, 1 September 2008 TenOfAllTrades (Blocked: new section) Procutus responded with: 22:57, 1 September 2008 Procutus (lol - excellent the next stage is complete.)
 * When checkuser has actually been filed, or when it was clearly coming, Fredrick day has always bailed.

 * Comments

Even though Procutus has been blocked, and was an obvious sock of Fredrick day, I'm filing this report for the record, so that a history associating Procutus with Fredrick day is permanently available for future consideration. --Abd (talk) 00:59, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

This appears to be an accurate report. This diff is particularly convincing. I have tagged the account with a sockpuppet tag. It is already blocked by another administrator.
 * Conclusions

Perhaps we want to gather up the evidence and file an abuse report with the banned user's ISP. I am not familiar with the procedure, but I think at least a few of our administrators are. Somewhere there is a page documenting that procedure, I think. Jehochman Talk 02:06, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I tried to figure out how to file a report for the range. I didn't get any help. I could, if asked, come up with a very long list of abusive edits from that range, associated with Fredrick day, with a few being in the past month. --Abd (talk) 02:28, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Arggh! I also see that I didn't list this SSP report, being distracted.... Because the new account involved was blocked, it went on the back burner. Tonight, if someone doesn't beat me to it.--Abd (talk) 21:35, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

I'd closed this as confirmed, but I'm COI.... Jehochman could close, or anyone else confirming the sock. While checkuser might turn up something interesting -- Fredrick day occasionally makes mistakes -- I'm not sure it's worth the effort. --Abd (talk) 13:40, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
