  • Code letter:F Suspected of sockpuppet evasion of a ban by Jimbo Wales.

MyWikiBiz has requested that the community restore editing privileges to one of his acknowledged accounts User:Thekohser. The thread is at WP:CN#Unblock_of_Thekohser.3F. Suspected of attempting to manipulate his own ban discussion on the IP address. Although this meets the threshold for blocking as obvious sockpuppetry, this particular user has persuaded mainstream journalists that Misplaced Pages treated him unfairly. See this for a heavily spun story that ran in the Associated Press on 24 January 2007. In case the user attempts to follow up with a similar story it would be good to have a checkuser result to formally confirm that the community handled his case appropriately. He is a professional public relations entrepreneur so I think it would be good for Misplaced Pages to cover all our bases. Durova 03:59, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

BTW the checkusers may review my relevant correspondence with Brian Bergstein, who was the journalist who wrote January's AP story. Contact me privately if necessary. Durova 04:10, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
 Clerk note: in the event that Durova isn't available when a checkuser wishes to decide on this check, I have also got a copy of the email correspondance Durova mentions. If needed, my copy will be forwarded. Cheers, Daniel Bryant 05:23, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
Additional edits by the IP to the block discussion. Note that in the latter the IP refers to the sockmaster account in the first person. Durova 05:44, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

  • Code letter: B / F.

MyWikiBiz is also User:Thekohser; recent comments indicate that he is also using JossBuckle Swami. MyWikiBiz was banned by Jimbo for "selling" Misplaced Pages articles. http://www.mywikibiz.com/ordernow.html shows he is still doing this. If this user is using a static IP I strongly suggest it should be hard blocked. Guy (Help!) 09:41, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

 Clerk note: MyWikiBiz is too old to check. Cheers, ✎ Peter M Dodge ( Talk to Me • Neutrality Project ) 07:01, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
But I know that he might use dynamic IPs in the 72.94.0.0/16 range. Scobell302 00:39, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
