W. Frank was a party in the above case. I'm unaware of when the Alice account was created due to a usurpation, but at the time of the account's first edit at 04:08, 28 September 2007 the ArbCom case was still very much ongoing and the Proposed Decision page looked like this. W. Frank had a large amount of evidence posted about his disruption and a number of remedies proposed against him (see here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here and here), in addition to the probation which he was being considered for on the already linked Proposed Decision page. I contend that the creation of a brand new account while an editor is potentially facing sanctions in an ongoing Arbitration case is an attempt to evade remedies issued by the Arbitration Committee. This editor has a record of disruption and blocks, and a continuation of the same behaviour using the old account name would have resulted in different treatment (and the probable use of the probation remedy from the Troubles case) than the current account would receive. In addition to the continued harassment of editors of Troubles related articles, disruption is ongoing in other areas see Misplaced Pages:Requests_for_arbitration#Alice. The W. Frank account hasn't been abandoned, as it was used to vote in ArbCom elections and an RfA in December, and I contend that the use of a sockpuppet to continue the same disruption as before with a "clean slate" is not a permitted use of sockpuppets. Evidence below, more available but I wanted to keep it relatively concise:

• Alice recommends Alexia Death's Accusations of collaboration: 3RR hurts Misplaced Pages essay
• W. Frank has previously borrowed (and subsequently amended) the exact same essay.

• Alice recommends that "only users with a committed identity revealed to Arb||Com be enfranchised "
• W. Frank recommends that "Articles should be edited only by "trusted" editors that have established their bona fides to a member of Arbcom with checkuser privileges"

• Use of "just revert me":

• - Alice
• - W. Frank

• References to editors of Troubles related articles have an agenda and/or a COI, in particular those who are believed to have sympathies to Irish republicanism

• - Alice
• - W. Frank (many, many more available)

• References to "teams" of editors:

• - Alice
• - W. Frank (many, many more available)

• Moving ToC to left hand side before the lead, against the Manual of Style:

• - Alice
• - W. Frank

• Also note the common edit summaries for Better positioning of ToC with ultra-short lead and better positioning of table of contents (ToC) with ultra-short lede, both accounts tend to use "lead" and "lede" interchangably.

• Other miscellaneous evidence:

• Alice - "isn't Misplaced Pages wonderful?", W. Frank - "isn't Misplaced Pages wonderful?"
• Identity document - common article, both accounts have a number of edits to it.
• - Alice apparently knows Gibnews, but I can find no interaction between them on-Wiki that would result in them having interacted off-Wiki, however W. Frank and Gibnews did interact on say the Mairéad Farrell article.
