obvious pattern of editing same articles and obviously similar usernames

I'm not commiting sockpuppetry; I'm sorry you would even think that. As for my username, I just wanted to change it so it would match my email address and be easier for me to remember. I would delete my old username, but there's no way to do that. Furthermore, if you'll look at my contribs, I stopped editing with my old account as soon as I signed up for a new one. November 6 was the last time I used sbrown1202a, and starting November 7, I've only used sbrown146, and my old account has remained inactive since then. Again, you're falsely accusing me of malicious behavior, when in reality, I have every best intention of making things better. Just think before you jump to conclusions like that, okay????

 * Sbrown1202a has been disruptively editing by persistently introducing his own novel conclusions at variance with reliably sourced cites, based on his OR. Several editors have discussed this with him on his talk page and the affected article talk pages. When I saw the same pattern emerging on Bermuda and checked contribs of Sbrown146 and Sbrown1202a, it was obvious they are one and the same, as the user now acknowledges after this was reported. He continues to edit war, re-inserting edits as Sbrown146 previously reverted as Sbrown1202a.  JGHowes   talk  02:41, 13 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Again, every article I edit, I do so with the best intentions of improving Wikpedia's information. I don't consider my edits original research, either, because the conclusions I made are extremely simple.  Now, I know labeling Bermuda's climate is a little far-fetched, so I'll leave that alone, even though I believe it is arguable that the Koppen system would classify it as tropical.  When I edited the page, I even put "According to the Koppen system", so it was not research of my own.  And the fact that I have two usernames doesn't make me a bad user.  I simply got a new one that I use, and ever since I got a new username, I have not logged into the old one.  I don't edit war either: I might revert once or twice, but after that, I have always worked out any disputes in a civil way with other users, and often times, I was right by consensus.  Looks like some of the administrators on Wikipedia are using their power to unfairly boss around and oppress newer Wiki users.   Sbrown146 (talk) 03:51, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

Sbrown is correct. This is not socking as these accounts are sequential. Users can start new accounts if the abandon the other one. I wonder why he didn't ask for a rename at WP:CHU though. HOWEVER, there is disrutpive behavior here, which is more suited to other forums and I'll handle as that. If you ever use the older account, I won't hesitate to block it indef. — Rlevse • Talk  • 03:49, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
