Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/beryoza


 * 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:Beryoza
Actually Beryoza is probably a sockpuppet of someone else currently unknown, possibly seen as an anonymous person going under 70.177.216.113. This guy and another, User:SincereGuy (interesting name) have made edits and comments in the article Talifan and its talk page, yet have no other contributions whatsoever to any other article. Also, both accounts appear to be only days old, consistent with the beginning of the edit war. Also, here are the contribution page of these two accounts:  Neither have anything resembling a normal contribution list. Furthermore, both accounts (and the anonymous person) share almost the exact same opinions on the topic as seen in the talk page Talk:talifan
 * Evidence

This person is apparently trying to add NPOV statements in the article.

 * This is my IP, I've made numerous edits before I decided to create an account.144.133.104.71 11:52, 1 July 2006 (UTC) (Beryoza)
 * You'll see that I actually contributed to that article on the above IP in its edit history. In short, this accusation is baseless. :I've also made no contributions to the article apart from adding the link for www.talifan.com, earlier, before registration. :Beryoza 11:55, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

Someone keeps accusing me (SincereGuy) of being a sock puppet of Beryozo and redirects here. I officially joined Wikipedia recently as I want to contribute actively to Wikipedia instead of just being a passive 'consumer' as I have knowledge in several fields that I felt could be of use to others. With the guidelines fresh in mind, I stated the reasons why I'm of the opinion that the links in the Talifan entry violates pillar 1&2. I can't understand why I'm being harassed and accused of being a sock puppet. The accusation is ridiculous and no evidence other than me simply disagreeing with User:New guy has been presented. --SincereGuy 20:40, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

I forgot to mention that I removed the first tag in accordance with Notes for the suspect as I was of the opinion that the accuser hadn't formed a proper evidence page. However, as New guy now redirects here, I'll let it stay up until this has been resolved. --SincereGuy 20:57, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

IP addresses can be faked by proxies. Explain yourself better than claiming your IP addresses are different. It's very unlikely two people would join a day apart and immediately know what they're doing, plus edit the same article with the exact same opinion.New guy 05:42, 2 July 2006 (UTC)


 * So your accusation is now I used a proxy IP address for all the edits I've made to wikipedia before registration, as evidenced here
 * http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&target=144.133.104.71. For what purpose? To lay the foundation to engage in my sinister plan to give my opinion that your link references are questionable, months later? I suggest you give your paranoia a rest and assume good faith as advised by Wiki instead of immediately assuming like any number of people who disagree with your position must be sockpuppets.Beryoza 07:01, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

Sorry for breaking in here again, but since this involves me too (as User:New guy falsely accuses me of being a sockpuppet of Beryozo and redirects the 'evidence' here), I wonder if New guy has requested CheckUser or if I can remove the tag as New guy hasn't presented any other evidence than me simply disagreeing with him. --SincereGuy 09:02, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
