Few contributions, but they establish a disturbing trend:
 * Evidence


 * 1) Questioning Raul654 about perceived slights. These are directly related to accusations that Ian Tresman leveled against Raul.
 * 2) Two areas he was interested in included checkuser and the community sanction noticeboard. Ian Tresman was banned by the latter and found to be sockpuppeteering by Raul654 by the former.
 * 3) This diff looks a lot like Ian Tresman's typical gaming. Referring to an unvetted Astrophysics Data System search was a COMMON practice for Ian. Interestingly, Ian is also the web-designer of Corliss's website, and so probably has a concerted interest in the subject of me removing links to this website.

Anyway, I've interacted with Ian a LOT and this looks very suspicious. I'd appreciate a rebuttal if Raevaen can offer one.


 * Comments

There is nothing to rebut. Your point (1) has nothing to do with slights, (2) seems a common subject of discussion (3) is a joke right, since when is a question "gaming"? I think you are over-reacting, and failing to assume good faith. --Raevaen (talk) 00:30, 7 August 2008 (UTC)


 * It looks likely that this account is a previous user who has a beef with Raul654 and ScienceApologist. It's unusual, to say the least, for a new account to find its way to ArbCom election statements as its first edit, and then to pop up 7 months later on a user talk page. I'm inclined to block, but maybe some other administrator has some input. --Akhilleus (talk) 03:02, 8 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Conclusions
 * I don't have enough evidence from Raevaen's contributions. Take it to CU if you think the evidence is strong enough. Scarian  Call me Pat!  21:37, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
