Suspected sockpuppets



Evidence submitted by Cirt

Block evasion. Violation of multiple sections of WP:ARBSCI, notably restrictions on multiple accounts, and restrictions on use of open proxies and disclosure of Church of Scientology-controlled IPs and managed sock accounts.

  1. AlexJohnTorres12 (talk · contribs) -- spam/promo at article on leader of Church of Scientology, example includes,
  2. JessaRinaldi (talk · contribs) -- Blocked for violations of WP:BLP policy, on page on critic of Scientology,
  3. Whoismarty (talk · contribs) -- Blocked for violations of WP:BLP on Scientology critic article page,
  4. Johnalexwood (talk · contribs) -- Prior block for use of non reliable sources on WP:BLP pages within Scientology topic,
  5. Monsignore (talk · contribs) -- Removal of links to subject's website, on article about Scientology critic,
  6. MrSimmonds (talk · contribs) -- Removal of subject's own blog from article about subject, who is a Scientology critic
  7. Jimgreensboro (talk · contribs) -- Additions of primary-sourced-Church of Scientology-material and promotional webpages, to article on Scientology spokesperson
  8. Jbsweden9 (talk · contribs) -- Blocked, for using Misplaced Pages for spam/advertising, removing critical content about Scientology across multiple pages
  9. Fairyday (talk · contribs) -- Page blanking, removal of sourced (critical) content from Scientology article, example,

Most likely that most, if not all, of these accounts, have used forms of technical IP usage which violates WP:ARBSCI. -- Cirt (talk) 04:16, 24 August 2010 (UTC)

Note: If not Shutterbug (talk · contribs), some of these accounts may also be tied with technical data correlations to another sockmaster on Scientology topic, that of banned user DavidYork71 (talk · contribs). -- Cirt (talk) 04:18, 24 August 2010 (UTC)

It appears that these two groups of users are Red X Unrelated. No open proxies as far as I can tell, just a lot of mobile editing, which makes it harder to connect the accounts to each other. The first group of users could be related to Shutterbug based on geolocation of IPs, but again, it's nothing concrete. Fairyday (talk · contribs) appears Red X Unrelated to any of the above users, but could be Shutterbug based on location. Nishkid64 (Make articles, not wikidrama) 04:32, 24 August 2010 (UTC)
