Sockpuppetry case
You have been accused of sockpuppetry. Please refer to Misplaced Pages:Suspected sock puppets/Devalover for evidence. Please make sure you make yourself familiar with notes for the suspect before editing the evidence page.
- Note: I was the accuser on this one. I'm striking this accusation because I now believe Devalover is not who I thought he was. When this case is resolved, I'll remove it entirely unless Devalover requests otherwise.
- My net was wide. Now my tuna has dolphin in it. Damn.
- Very sorry about this. — edgarde 23:39, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
Devalover: I'm sorry to make my first contact with you in such a bad situation, but you may be off this hook pretty soon. I don't have CehckUser privileges, so I'm waiting on feedback from others.
Here's something that would help: can you let me know how you connect to Internet? Specifically I need to know if you use dial-up or some kinda DSL. If you don't have the sort of service I think you have, I'll drop you from the accusation and move it to KyndFellow, who is now a confirmed puppeteer.
The "wrong" answer will not incriminate you, but the right answer will help clear you a bit faster.
You have at this time my provisional apologies for any trouble this brought you or your reputation. — edgarde 20:46, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
- ) Thank you for your provisional appology! :) That's a first.
I bear you no ill-will and myself have definatley dealt with sock-puppets... I basically saw your actions as attempts to ascertain the truth.
I want to say thank you for all of this, because I have reviewed the sock-puppet guidelines and decided to be open and honest about me, please see my user page.
As for my Internet Service, I do have DSL. Devalover 00:57, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
- Wow. That's quite a user page. Much respect.
- I was going with the hypothesis that Mr. Knodel was alternating between dialup and a DSL service to cover his IP tracks. If your IP address doesn't resolve to a modem pool, I'll go on record saying I no longer suspect you, and if you need a reference that says identifying you as a puppetmaster was a big mistake, I'll provide.
- I'll also look into the procedure for changing the "Suspected" page and undoing the warning on this page. I don't want to put you in the troublesome position of deleting warnings from your own page.
- Sorry to be so bitey. You've handled this with good humor and perspective, which is my biggest clue that you're not who I thought. I hope this incident doesn't put you off contributing to Misplaced Pages! — edgarde 02:03, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
- Heya Edgarde- no need to undo anything, I don't have any worries about Devalover's reputation, and the suspected sockpuppet on my page is really not a black-mark as far as I am concerned... your suspicions have been a really nice experience for me, connecting me to: compassion for your situation (the issue of dealing with sockpuppets); a desire to be more open and honest; and a chance to practice what for me is the most important skill of life- remaining calm, cool and present no matter what the circumstances. And so, all I can do is thank you peace Devalover 08:28, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
Request for arbitration
Develover, the editor named Edgarde on the Sex Tourism page is accusing you of impersonating me in your edits on that page (using a “puppet”). I’ve made a request for arbitration in which a third-party will be asked help resolved the dispute. Would you please add a comment to the request for arbitration?
It is my belief that Edgarde is convinced I am not you that my participation on that page will only make a tense situation more tense.Devalover 00:59, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
- Ok, Devalover, I understand why you might want to stay out of it. Im going to forward you the message with links in case you want to add evidence on your behalf.
- Here is the message that I got, which also may apply to you, since you are involved in the dispute:
- An Arbitration case involving you has been opened: Misplaced Pages:Requests for arbitration/Sex tourism. Please add any evidence you may wish the arbitrators to consider to the evidence sub-page, Misplaced Pages:Requests for arbitration/Sex tourism/Evidence. You may also contribute to the case on the workshop sub-page, Misplaced Pages:Requests for arbitration/Sex tourism/Workshop.
- I'm glad we can at least put the impersonation charges behind us at this point.

Well, thanks for trying
I hope I didn't trigger the latest reversions by commenting on the Talk page.
In the unlikely event you choose to comment in the current arbitration, I would suggest that comments from non-participants are welcome on the Arbitration Talk page. I wouldn't recommend adding to the Project page as doing so makes one into a "participant".
And if you don't want to get involved, I'll certainly understand. — edgarde 23:44, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
