 * Evidence

While discussing on this topic, Patriotmissile clearly seemed to have used the user's sockpuppet Goldenapex to make someone else to support his own opinion. Furthermore, Patriotmissile clearly seemed to have used the user's sockpuppet Antiskku to do an absurd edit on Sungkyunkwan_University which I was interested in to distract me during discuss. Goldenapex and Antiskku had logged on Wikipedia almost at the same time, especially, Goldenapex left comment to support Patriotmissile's opinion just once after Goldenapex's very first log-on and Antiskku also made unreasonable edit on Sungkyunkwan univ page at Antiskku's very first log-on. However the user is still denying such a sockpuppetry.

Here are evidences:

1) I was very suspicious of the user's sockpuppetry, so I just mentioned I knew you all Patriotmissile, Goldenapex, Antiskku were in the same region, then the user replied as follows: The user said, "just because those users are from similar areas and similar times, you can't conclude those are the same users, right?" i.e, the user seemed to have grudgingly admitted Goldenapex, Patriotmissile, Antiskku were in the same region.

2) The user was under the illusion that I had such a computer hacking technique to be able to find a user's IP (although I replied I had no idea about such a high technique like hacking) so the user commented as follows: . The user said, "you clearly stated that you found the IP address for three users were the same" although I just mentioned "the same area", not "IP". The user seemed to have thought that he was caught due to the hacking technique which does not exist, in fact. Consequently, the user confessed that Patriotmissile, Goldenapex, Antiskku used the same IP address, not just in the same region.

3) The user was starting to make excuses as follows: . The user mentioned "there's lot of computer open to the public, so many people can use the same computer" and others so I showed this table to the user. The table above shows the traces of Patriotmissile, Goldenapex, Antiskku. The user already almost confessed Patriotmissile, Goldenapex, Antiskku were using the same computer having the same IP. Therefore, the user used the same computer only 8 minutes later than when Goldenapex used it. Furthermore, Antiskku used the computer only 1 minutes later than the user's use of the computer. Goldenapex made the first log-on just 4 hours ago (this is just the 2nd log-on after the very first). and Antiskku made the its first log-on as shown in the table Antiskku made the unreasonable edit attack on Sungkyunkwan_University in which I was very interested at the very first log-on during the discuss between I and Patriotmissile and then left. Patriotmissile had known my interest on Sungkyunkwan_University. This looks unreasonable.

4) I warned the user that sockpuppetry can be a reason to ban the user from Wikipedia and the user replied as follows: The user said, "You know, I don't even have to be here in Wikipedia". The user seemed to have admitted the user's sockpuppetry.

5) The user insisted, to the last, I hacked something :-/. (You can easily find it in the evidence talk page 'Talk:SKY (schools)' ) However, in other words, it proves my guess was correct. That is, I squared my guess with the fact the user was a sockpuppeteer.

 * Possible that these accounts have been operated by the same person. But I don't see a violation of WP:SOCK, and certainly nothing to warrant blocking. --Akhilleus (talk) 05:25, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
