User's contributions have almost exclusively been vendetta related. Thank you for looking into this. Jrclark (talk) 13:23, 29 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Agree I have been following this for some time and I second this claim. This user has been using socks to systematically attack User:Jrclark and to engage in controversial edits with the intention of coming into conflict with Jrclark. This user has not demonstrated any other interest in Wikipedia. Talk page and edit summary rhetoric by all of these socks matches, as does singularity of purpose. See also where user begins a post editing from ISP 47.234.0.59 and ends his post editing from Willdakunta 1 1a. An even more damning similarity is the exposing of personal information of other users as punishment for disagreeing with him, here most recently on my talk page as Willdakunta 2, here as Isp 71.168.80.203 3 here as Nhguardian, 4, and here as Isp 71.181.68.181 5. This alone justifies blocking per Blocking policy "disclosing personal information."--Pgagnon999 (talk) 18:07, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

Per WP:DUCK, I am blocking NHguardian (the oldest account and thereby the sockpuppeteer) and all of the IPs for one month for sockpuppetry and blocking the other two accounts indefinitely as obvious socks. If NHguardian would like to choose one account, s/he may, but there is a clear intent to elude detection and that needs to stop. Jrclark, you may wish to pursue WP:OVERSIGHT for the personal info revisions but, be warned that your activity (sprinkling links to your own web site around) combined with public records do make your personal information fairly easy to discern. —Wknight94 (talk) 21:39, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
