• Code letter: G

• Supporting evidence: At Misplaced Pages:Requests for adminship/Cirt, a variety of single purpose accounts have come out of the woodwork to oppose. These accounts have very low edit counts, or have been inactive for long periods of time. Please check if they may be related to each other, or to any of the litigants at Misplaced Pages:Requests for arbitration/COFS. Cirt is known for having stood up to a variety of abusive pro-Scientology accounts. There is an appearance of payback here. Jehochman 20:35, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

• Sound like a fishing expedition to me. --Justallofthem (talk) 22:08, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

• Sounds like abuse of the WP:RFA process. New, barely used accounts suddenly surfacing? If people want to oppose an RFA they can, but only once, and votes from fake accounts are worthless and a blockable offense if they're socking. rootology (C)(T) 22:12, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

• I already started checkuser on the first one. That is a distinctive sockmaster and I doubt any connection to the others. I presented strong evidence in my case on ShadowVsScientology and have stronger evidence availalbe. All I see here is fishing. --Justallofthem (talk) 22:48, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

• Don't remove people from the RFCU like you did here, it's inappropriate. If it's fishing, the Checkusers will turn it down on their own discretion, with or without any of our approval. rootology (C)(T) 22:54, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

• I removed it because that one is the subject of an open checkuser case already. --Justallofthem (talk) 22:57, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

• Still, lets leave this just for the right people to do stuff like that. Since it's clearly a pattern of harassment of Cirt, they may want to compare notes to see who's doing the harassing. rootology (C)(T) 22:59, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

 Bureaucrat note:If this isn't socking, it's canvassing, could be both. I have at least four other voters in that RFA I'm suspicious of. — Rlevse • Talk • 22:36, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

 Confirmed that

• ShadowVsScientology is Richard Rolles, as remarked on the other RFCU
• Eastbayway is also Littlebutter and Ebay3

It is not clear whether Julia1287 is a sockpuppet, abusive or otherwise.

 Clerk note:SvS already blocked, tagged properly. Eastbayway, Littlebutter, and Ebay3 blocked and tagged. Cleaned up RFA. No action on Julia1287, but I strongly suspect canvassing in that RFA. — Rlevse • Talk • 23:20, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

206.188.48.235

Also, Durova pointed out 206.188.48.235 (talk · tag · contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RBLs · proxy check · block user · block log · cross-wiki contribs · CheckUser (log)) who also weighed in. Geolocates to here, King County public library, if its the same fellow. I'll let Sam know. rootology (C)(T) 23:56, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

 Unrelated. Appears to be an editor accidentally logged out, rather than anything malicious, despite the bizarre comment. Sam Korn 00:11, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

Troikoalogo

Now that we've cleared the obvious socks, lets look at some that may be more subtle.

• Troikoalogo (talk · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log · CA · CheckUser(log) · investigate · cuwiki)

Evidence

1. Nominating articles for AfD, correctly, within their first few edits.
2. Finds Erik Möller within first 10 edits, and pushes a troll meme. This article has had way more than its fair share of mischief. This account showing up there is probably not a coincidence.
3. Has only been with us four months, but knows all about socks.
4. Trollish comment, "WTF", and appears to have an axe to grind with Durova. Appears to have followed her to RFAR.

Thank you for the effort to help maintain the integrity of Misplaced Pages:Requests for adminship/Cirt. When five oppose votes have already been struck for shennanigans, there is good reason to look closely at any other irregularities. Jehochman 03:04, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

User:Spacefarer

• Spacefarer (talk · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log · CA · CheckUser(log) · investigate · cuwiki)

This one appears suspicious possibly, but this one may be fishing, I leave it to the checkusers. The same basic "style" of user pages here, as is seen on the above confirmed socks. rootology (C)(T) 07:13, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

• • Just this little reminder as we go a-fishin' (from WP:RCU):
    "Vote fraud, ongoing vote - Wait until vote closes before listing, or post at Misplaced Pages:Suspected sock puppets" --Justallofthem (talk) 14:10, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
  • What is it that cops say? "Well if you've nothing to hide then you won't mind if I search your house." And what is it that the wise man said? "Rules are made for the guidance of wise men and the strict observance of fools. And the total ignoring of by those that care little for the rights of others." --Justallofthem (talk) 14:15, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
  • OK. I made up that last bit. --Justallofthem (talk) 14:17, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
