:Astutescholar was blocked for obvious sockpuppetry and edit warring (he made identical edits to the article Oxford Round Table as an earlier blocked account, Pigeonpiece. Shortly thereafter Treasuryrain's account was created. On roughly its 10th edit, Treasuryrain filed an ANI report: [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/IncidentArchive483#Oxford_Round_Table_misuse_by_2_editors:_Nomoskedasticity.2C_Academic38_and_2_administrators:_Toddst1.2C_Jayron32] which showed intimate knowledge of the incident; such knowledge would be unlikely unless he were either editing directly on behalf of blocked user Astutescholar/Pigeonpiece OR unless he were the same person. As his account shows no prior involvement with any part of the incident, and indeed was created shortly after blocks were handed out, it seems highly likely that Treasuryrain is either a sockpuppet or meatpuppet of the blocked editor(s). --Jayron32.talk.contribs 16:22, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

:*I appreciate Jayron32 updating this. I was intending to do it as well. Toddst1 (talk) 20:18, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

:*Diffs showing PigeonPiece evading block: [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Oxford_Round_Table&diff=prev&oldid=240093574 1]

:*Diffs showing Educationatlarge evading block: [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Oxford_Round_Table&diff=prev&oldid=239593422 2]

  • Supporting evidence:

Both {{user|PigeonPiece}} and {{user|Educationatlarge}} are WP:SPA accounts that seem to only be active when {{user|Astutescholar}} is blocked or otherwise inactive, only edit Oxford Round Table, edit warring with

  1. {{checkuser|Nomoskedasticity}} and
  2. {{checkuser|Academic38}}.

Educationatlarge appears to be extremely obvious. I've indef blocked both Piegonpiece and Educationatlarge, but since the evidence is largely circumstantial would appreciate confirmation, or in the case that I might be wrong, I will unblock.

Thank you for your consideration. Toddst1 (talk) 19:11, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
