Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/TheMadTim


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the case of suspected sockpuppetry. Please do not modify it. No further edits should be made to this page. If you are seeing this page as a result of an attempt to open a new case of sockpuppetry of the same user, read this for detailed instructions.

User:TheMadTim

 * Evidence

User is blocked, but keeps creating new accounts using proxies etc to beat block. User has created RFC against me. And has started WP:3RR against me and WP:RFI against me.

I had previously been indefinitely banned under my current username(small k). I felt that the ban had been unfair, so I had created a new account user:KarateKid7 (big K), this account had gone practically unnooticed and despite the fact that I would admit that I am not the most popular contributor, I do try to be reasonable. I also admit to previously using the sockpuppet user:John79 whilst under a short ban. I was accused of using the sockpuppet user:Bill_the_Bear, this user only got 1 edit to the outside world so is hardly a prolific vandal, but anyway I deny that this was me, seeing as I admit to user:John79 I think this gives my claim some weight.

Under my sockpuppet user:KarateKid7 (big K), I ran into a couple of revert wars with user:TheMadTim, he was very quick to report me for WP:3RR and on both occasions of him doing this admins, agreed that I was reverting his vandalism. On the second occassion we were both blocked as a cool down period, my ban was overturned, in the meantime a new user user:TheMADTim turned up, and vandalised some pages. A checkuser confirmed little and suggested that it might have been me but it never confirmed it, I deny that user:TheMADTim is a sockpuppet of me. Because of this my sockpuppet user:KarateKid7(Big K) was discovered and was perma blocked. I created a new sockpuppet user:theKarateKid7 and contacted the blocking admin and discussed with him the initial permablock he agreed that it was unfair, and as the admin who had issued it has left. He raised the issue on the admins noticeboard and I was unblocked.

TheMadtim got pissed off by this and put on his page that he had left the project. He obviously has since been blocked for being a puppetmaster of abusive sockpuppets. As it is me that he has an issue with, I am not surprised that he targets certain pages that I have made edits to.--Karatekid7 16:35, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

He is also deteremined to get me blocked that is why he creates multiple accounts, so that he can for example have one warn me for vandalism, one report a 3RR, one raise a WP:RFI, one start a WP:RFC, have others do multiple edits to the same article so that it looks like I am violating 3RR. --Karatekid7 16:46, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

 * sole and first edit was to report a WP:3RR violation against me, new user?

 * Block for five days by me for vandalising.  K ilo-Lima|(talk) 16:01, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

 * If it is, it isn't blocked? --Karatekid7 20:26, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I need proof. I have added it to WikiProject on open proxies and will wait for a "trusted user" to check and see if it is. Until then, there's not a lot I can do. Will check back on the page (or you can check back!) tomorrow. Kilo-Lima|(talk) 19:53, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
 * What about this one?  K ilo-Lima|(talk) 16:01, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Check out the edits to Mark Walters, Castle Grayskull similar to edits by his other puppets and by user:theMadTim himself. And then providing evidence against me when I was trying to get my original account user:Karatekid7(small k) unblocked, and a request for checkuser against me suspicious behaviour possible proxy as whois reveals columbian? ip address. --Karatekid7 18:55, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
