3 of 4 edits are used for voting since 2004, discussion on , now for WP:SSP hard evidence is needed which might be in Misplaced Pages:Votes for deletion/Stackronym (or not), so what to do ? Mion (talk) 16:36, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

I'd suggest trying Checkuser first, which may come up with hard evidence. If the request is rejected, bring it back here. Adam Cuerden 17:35, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

I've been here for a while, I just never think to login, except for the occasional vote perhaps. The last thing is a topic I know a fair bit about (copyright, trademarks, the DFSG, that sort of thing), hence the vote. I contributed to that stupid Stackronym article way back, and I know I've done a few reverts of vandalized pages, and a few minor edits here and there. I use this username everywhere, and I'm at a school so my IP address is static (though it changes each year I think), so I'm sure you can figure out who I am through that.

Come to think of it, aren't the wikipedia and wikimedia commons accounts linked? You can see my contributions there Commons:Special:Contributions/Nynexman4464 Nynexman4464 (talk) 18:49, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

In response on User talk:Nynexman4464, seems plausible to me, case closed i think Mion (talk) 21:53, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

Massive POV pushing on Numerous U.S. Political figures articles.

User:Anappealtoheaven Seems to be having a serious problem with writing in an NPOV style. Despite warnings , , independently given from two editors recently, and more in the past, one example, see User talk:Anappealtoheaven for more, his only responses are screeds about how Misplaced Pages needs to be free of outside influences . Some examples of his problematic editing are seen: At Mitt Romney, where he injects POV, gets reverted(this would be a third editor recently identifying POV). At Mike Huckabee, he edits again to show purported hypocrisy , and is again reverted for POV ,. He edits Ron Paul to a pro-Paul POV. One is seen here: . Although the fact is cited, his edit and summary imply, at least, that something special about Paul other than the online presence can explain the fact, although he only cites 'time', an indication of POV editing. There are numerous examples more. One last egregious example - , he smears McCain and Graham as 'lockstepping' with "liberal democratic Senator Ted Kennedy's heated legislation ". The only intent to his wording is that he seeks to disparage their 'conservative street cred' by tying them to a 'liberal democrat'. It's partisan game playing of the worst sort.

Please note that between reverts and notes about his edits, there are at least five editors noting POV, as well as previous warnings on his talk and article talk pages. Should anyone doubt he has an agenda here, please read his User Page essay about his Ron Paul support. Thank you. ThuranX (talk) 18:42, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

The "Alicia Miguel" cabal

CathyJoyce (talk · contribs), Dababe (talk · contribs), MonicaCabaski (talk · contribs) and Danielmiguel (talk · contribs) all seem to be either the same person, or a group of meat puppets conspiring to create hoax articles at Alicia Miguel and Alicia Miguel Schull. Corvus cornix_talk 21:01, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

This started way back in 2006 with Daniel Miguel creating Alicia Miguel as an apparent joke. At that time she was a high-living billionaire, having made her substantial worth from small businesses. Fast forward to December 2007, when Alicia became an internationally renowned supermodel. Multiple accounts began uploading copyvio'd pics of random models and inserting them in articles like supermodel and sex symbol. Although these photographs all featured different women, they were purportedly free-license depictions of Miguel. The article itself was a direct copy of the Alessandra Ambrosio entry. An AfD helped form a consensus to delete salt Alicia Miguel, so enter Alicia Miguel Schüll. That one was created by MonicaCabaski, who another sockpuppet attempted to nominate for both adminship and bureaucrat bits. After the Schull version of the hoax made it to DRV, I decided to pull the plug and block all Miguel-related accounts. FWIW, these appear to be the efforts of a middleschool student from North Carolina. ˉˉ╦╩ 21:20, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

They apparently continued the hoax over on the French Misplaced Pages, but it got deleted over there, too. Corvus cornix_talk 21:54, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

Oui, aucun s'inquiète. I doubt this is anything to trouble other wikis about. Thanks, btw, for reviewing the sock activity. I was wondering whether to post a warning about the hoax somewhere, AN/I will do. ˉˉ╦╩ 22:42, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
