User:Sibereyre

 * Suspected sockpuppeteer


 * Suspected sockpuppets


 * Report submission by: Jasper23 07:21, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

After blanking sections of the Barack Obama page repeatedly and also being warned twice for vandalism user stopped. With 3 minutes a new user with no edit history edited the same page. User name sibereyre is way too close to eyresiber to be coincidence.
 * Evidence

I think this is a pretty obvious case. This is the second time user has been suspected of sockpuppetry. User has removed vandalism/blanking warnings from his page and also the sockpuppet tag.

What do other people think?
 * Conclusions


 * The blanking seems to have stopped. I hope this was not just due to the perp being asleep.  Thanks for keeping an eye on it. I guess with Obama being more in the news we need to brace ourselves for more of this kind of "attention". But overall, I think we have a good community looking after this article and even the few discontented editors would work with us to resist vandalism. I'm also keen on coming up with additional text that may help calm the article's current detractors. Not sure this approach helps us with dedicated vandals like sibereyre/eyresiber, but it can't hurt. My guess is this one will run out of steam when he/she sees that the article is well tended. --HailFire 10:52, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
