Though User:Haelstrom has been blocked today, I suspect that the account is a sockpuppet for LordPathogen. Several users have noted off-wiki emails received by Haelstrom. We can provide the emails if necessary. evrik (talk) 03:00, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Please refer to User:MindHavoc and Category:Suspected Wikipedia sockpuppets of LordPathogen

 * Admins, pls feel free to do checkuser at your convenience to verify that I am not in fact in any way connected to Haelstrom. This is yet another sad attempt by Evrik to attack me any way he can, the most recent of which was him posting my private information on wikipedia including my email address, DNS headers, email address and a google search of me, resulting in him being blocked for four days. It appears it was not enough as he is back to his harassing ways. When you see that I am correct, I ask that you also remove me as the suspected sockpuppeteer from Haelstrom's page since Evrik, as usual overstepped his bounds and put that tag there himself. I also request that he be punished for his presumption and for this further harassment. LordPathogen 03:58, 24 June 2007 (UTC)


 * It appears that Lord Pathogen has occasionally edited unregistered. signed his name   ·:· Will Beback  ·:· 05:28, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
 * As I'm sure Will knows, forgetting to login (but still signing your name) and deliberate sock-puppetry are two different things... It also appears Evrik has a history of accusing me of sock-puppetry, such as where he incorrectly accused me of being the apparently infamous Primetime without one shred of evidence... (see bottom) Again, I ask please do checkuser right now. LordPathogen 12:43, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I agree that if one is honest about being the same person then editing under an IP is not the same as sock puppetry. But when we tag IP addresses used by registered users we often use the "sock puppet" template. There's probably a better one somewhere, it's hard to find them. I listed the IP address here so the record would be more complete. Are there any other accounts or IPs you've used?
 * As for the Primetime matter, that was my fault. He asked me a question and I thought he was asking about something different so we mis-communicated. ·:· Will Beback  ·:· 17:51, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Nope, in any case I got that IP while visiting a company and forgetting to login to Wikipedia. LordPathogen 18:00, 24 June 2007 (UTC)


 * You were blocked for User:MindHavoc. evrik (talk) 00:28, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Really??? I had no idea. I guess that's what all those links mean, huh? Thanks for clearing that up :-) Oh, and you were blocked for going beyond the pale by posting my private information on Wikipedia, isn't that right?  LordPathogen 01:42, 25 June 2007 (UTC)


 * LP - if you keep bringing up that event it might lead readers to think you want to draw attention to your personal info. You've mentioned it already. Please don't use bold text to make inflammatory remarks more vivid. The only topic here is your possible use of sock puppets. Past use of sock puppets is germane. If you want to complain about Evrik then please find a more appropriate venue. ·:· Will Beback  ·:· 02:39, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
 * And yet you say nothing about Evrik being pedantic about the MindHavoc issue despite THREE links already on this page? Why is that? Was there really a need for him to state yet again about MindHavoc? Was it somehow unclear? Seems to be a double-standard. And to answer your implied question, no I did not want my private info posted by Evrik who obviously is not contrite about it, yet I am the one warned about "inflammatory remarks." His character as evidenced by his block log is obviously germane when he makes an accusation here. You, I may point out, did not even delete my private information from your own talk page (as an Admin should have immediately done) where Evrik posted it. Admin Fred Bauder had to do that. Frankly, I'm not even sure why you are here Will. Evrik has posted his accusation. It remains to be adjudicated. Unless you are the admin doing that, why are you here exactly? Was the record of the previous case somehow insufficient? If you keep doing this, it might lead readers to think you are carrying Evrik's water here and other places.

 * I came here to make sure the report is complete. As for my general view if this dispute, on one side I see a long-time editor who contributes articles on many topics, while on the other side I see a new, single purpose account who seems to be disruptive. Yes, it's part of my role as a community member to encourage productive behavior and discourage unhelpful participation. As for my talk page, I never saw your information there - Bauder deleted it first. ·:· Will Beback  ·:· 19:16, 25 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Still waiting on that checkuser please... Thanks! LordPathogen

 * Before anyone goes and removes a properly placed tag again, I would refer you to item 8 listed at Suspected_sock_puppets


 * Conclusions

Stale, and looks like both accounts have stopped editing. If there is further reason for suspicion in the future, please do bring it back though. Seraphimblade Talk to me 04:22, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
