Weissmann is a single purpose account who works only on articles related to, and. He tends to upload images without proper copyright info, and creates numerous articles (deleted contribs - admin only) on non-notable subjects. When confronted he shows little understanding of the issues. See User_talk:Weissmann for the evidence of this.
 * Evidence

He has been indefinitely blocked on de.wiki ], on Commons, and apparently a checkuser there confirmed the links between these accounts.

Here he has begun using these accounts to edit the same articles -, , , , , , which shows that there is an intent to avoid scrutiny and show consensus where there is none.

There is a list on de.wiki of sockpuppets there, and on Commons  a list of related blocks.

I'm just looking for a sanity check before I block the socks and decide what to do with the main account.


 * Comments
 * I support the Check-User request because Weissmann is one of the worse trolls and POV pushers we have got (here and on de/commons). I am also the sysop who banned him from commons. His main account should be banned as well. Regards,  abf  /talk to me/  13:13, 29 August 2008 (UTC)


 * I have blocked all the accounts indefinitely, and the master account for 2 months. He's not been blocked here before, so I guess a last chance is in order. Kevin (talk) 02:15, 30 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Conclusions

All blocked, then. SQL Query me! 19:24, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
