– This SPI case is open.

Suspected sockpuppets


First time I've filled one of these out. DegenFarang is already banned for abusive editing, sockpuppetry and making physical threats. Handpolk is almost certainly another sock of DegenFarang. The evidence is in the hyper aggressive tendentious editing with anyone who has a different point of view than him; 2) Handpolk's editing of a selection of obscure articles that were among the very few that DegenFarang also edited; 3) the common obsession with the word "peacock"; 4) the defiant assertion that he will vigorously "ignore all rules"; 5) Handpolk blanks his talk page like DegenFarang did. Additionally, Handpolk has been an editor for one month has gotten blocked, ANI, and has a talk page history that reads like the Spanish Inquisition (while also never sounding like a "new" editor at all).

First, the IAR. Here is DegenFarang one, two, three. Here is Handpolk.

Here is a page of Handpolk's edit circa June 28, and the obsessive use of peacock. Here is DegenFarang's obsessive use of peacock one, two, three.

Blanking the talk pages DegenFarang and Handpolk.

Among the smallish numbers of pages Handpolk has edited one that has only a few technical edits in the past two years since DegenFarang last slashed by. The same here where Handpolk decides to an AFD on article that was previously "snow keep" when Degen Farang nominated it. This obscure article was one of the few ever created by DegenFarang but then also gets an edit by Handpolk. The chances these two editors are different based on the edits to these three articles alone are astronomical, given the small number of articles edited ever by DegenFarang and Handpolk.

Handpolk also posts bogus warnings on talk pages here, and here.

He is now removing and reverting various edits I have made, including on AFD and other people's talk pages. He needs to be permanently banned and IP blocked again. (I want to check the checkuser box but I don't see it.) 2005 (talk) 04:38, 4 July 2015 (UTC)

The accusation and the "evidence" are absurd.. 2005 fails to mention that article is one of a couple dozen I submitted to AfD. I've also been on Misplaced Pages for a year. I referenced IAR one time and quickly said BOLD was more appropriate to make my point. Now I see why 2005 was triggered and refuses to let that go. :The truth is this editor thinks they WP:OWN WikiProject Poker and pretty much every poker BLP -- and consensus is for deleting lots of his pet articles. He's desperate and trying to get rid of the editor driving that effort. Handpolk ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 05:08, 4 July 2015 (UTC)
