Suspected sockpuppets

For English Picturio the usual style of edits in the usual areas of interest, with one dead giveaway. This edit by English Picturio just happens to pretty much replicate this edit by previous sock Where Did You Walk. The additions for Virginia Wheeler, Duncan Larcombe, an unnamed 50-year-old man and an unnamed 43-year-old woman, Clodagh Hartley, Neil Millard (and so on throughout the events added) are all word for word the same and using the same Wiki markup.

Stark House appears to be another sock used to split the contributions between English politicians and American Republican ones, since it's documented in previous cases for this sockmaster that both are his editing areas and one account doing both is a dead giveaway. William Enyart, Bill Johnson (Ohio politician) and Kay Granger are frequent targets of his. The image uploads of File:Kay Granger.jpg, File:Chris Gibson 2.jpg and more are identical to the behaviour of a recent sock, where he links to the main page of a Congressperson's website where the image doesn't even appear, done here at User_talk:Slytherining Around32#File copyright problem with File:Mary Fallin2.jpg, User_talk:Slytherining Around32#File copyright problem with File:Lynn Jenkins2.jpg, User_talk:Slytherining Around32#File copyright problem with File:Elijah Cummings23.jpg and so on. His socks almost always upload to Commons now, since his images get deleted a lot easier here due to him being community banned. Plus he's also back at frequent target African Americans in the United States Congress. 2 lines of K303 14:02, 31 August 2012 (UTC)

IP listed as well, obviously checkuser won't be commenting on that. Sole purpose of the IP is to reinstate the edits of a previous Marquis sock, so WP:DUCK is enough for that.

Pride Affair added also, per Martin H's Commons logs from 20:00, 30 August 2012. Three Commons accounts blocked at the same time for sockpuppetry, the other two just happen to be the other two socks listed here. 2 lines of K303 15:02, 31 August 2012 (UTC)

The creator of the Stark House account on Commons is rather telling too, since Slytherining Around32 is his account there (and the name of a previous sock here). 2 lines of K303 14:31, 1 September 2012 (UTC)

  • I have been adding relevant information to various articles, as no-one else seems to do it, I have actively participated in making these articles more accessible to the public to read. One Night in Hackney complains about my editing yet if it was not for me the articles would stay factual incorrect or lacking up to date information. I am helping wikipedia, whilst One Night in Hackney seems content to let articles slip into the unknown, by reverting legit edits that improve the article. Surely if someone is going out of their way to improve an article that is a good thing, regardless of who they are, but even with references and sources One Night in Hackney seems intent on reverting, which could be seen as a deliberate act of vandalism, since he is removing valuable and often crucial content from the article.

You may as well hold up a big sign saying "I am a sock". You weren't notified of this report, and I've made three edits to articles so far today, and none of them happen to be editing articles that you have. Hopefully one day you'll get the message that the Misplaced Pages community has banned you and therefore you aren't welcome to edit here. 2 lines of K303 14:52, 31 August 2012 (UTC)
I may not have been notified about this report, but on some of the articles I had edited I saw your name had also edited it and wanted to check your user contributations, and I saw a sockpuppet thing, where low and behold when I clicked on it I saw my name. I just don't understand what your problem is, my edits are useful to wikipedia, I put alot of time and effort into editing various articles to improve them by adding sources/references and then I upload images! At first when I started uploading images I didn't understand about copyright so of course I got in alot of trouble. But now I understand about copyright etc so I upload using OGL (Which you don't understand) and US government agencies. Why can't you just leave me alone, so that I can edit the articles I want to in peace, as I don't vandalize articles, I don't smear people, I don't spam, all I want to do is to be left alone to edit articles in my interest. Its bad enough I have Aspergers Syndrome and ADHD which means i fixate on certain things once i'm interested in them, so in this case its wikipedia, which means I can't stay away, if you don't want to believe me then so be it, but no matter how hard I try to stay away from wikipedia, I always want to edit it and so its not my fault, as its a condition and I can';t help it. So to an administrator please look over my edits and you will see that they are truly helpful towards wikipedia. Thanks Stark House (talk) 15:02, 31 August 2012 (UTC)
