• Code letter: F

• Supporting evidence: ALL edits are to delete articles in a fashion reminiscient of Eyrian and IPs related to Eyrian. For past cases, see Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/Eyrian and Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/JohnEMcClure. Also, even without the suspected sockpuppetry, the account has engaged in incivility, saying such things as calling opponents "acne-ridden mongoloid fanboys obsessed with keeping every single piece of crap ever written," which suggests the account is not here to contribute constructively or cooperatively with its fellow editors. Sincerely, --Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles^Tally-ho! 16:50, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

:Is it comedy time? Geographically speaking I am nowhere near any of these IPs, and if your "evidence" is that I vote to delete some cruft then your evidence is a bit thin on the ground. This account is a fully legitimate sock of an established editor, I even made that clear on my userpage. Tottering Blotspurs (talk) 20:22, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

::Legitimate socks do not have incivil and single-purpose disruptive premises for editing. Sincerely, --Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles^Tally-ho! 21:10, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

:::Participating in deletion debates to delete policy violating articles is not disruptive, neither is participating in deletion debates to keep policy compliant articles. Hopefully I will do some of the latter tomorrow as well as the former. Tottering Blotspurs (talk) 21:14, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

::::So far you have argued to delete policy compliant articles and having a premise of the acount being based on an overt insult to your fellow contributors is unacceptable. Not to mention that legitimate alternate accounts acknowledge who they are an alternate of a la User:Bearian'sBooties or User:Chaser away.

:::::{{clerknote}} moved everything that is not directly relevant to the CU request to the talk page. Please keep comments there. -- lucasbfr ^talk 06:52, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

:{{MoreInfo}} - can someone clarify why {{IPuser|72.151.55.27}} is mentioned here, and its relevance to the case? - Alison ^❤ 22:38, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

::One of the ones suspected to be Eyrian in a previous Eyrian related Request for Checkuser. Sincerely, --Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles^Tally-ho! 22:41, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

• Thank you for your efforts. Could the civility issue still be addressed, i.e. comments like calling opponents "acne-ridden mongoloid fanboys obsessed with keeping every single piece of crap ever written"? Sincerely, --Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles^Tally-ho! 23:36, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
• {{Clerk request}} Merge with RFCU/Eyrian please. Thatcher 23:27, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

• Supporting evidence:

I'm afraid to me it looks like the arbcom-banned and desysopped User:Eyrian has returned. Eyrian's mainspace edits focused in metallurgy/blacksmithing. His AfD participation focused on anti-popular culture and fiction related articles. Eyrian's various accounts were blocked last fall, but on December 31, 2007 a new account suddenly appeared with edits following a very, almost identical Eyrian-like pattern in that the mainspace edits are similarly overwhelmingly focused on metallurgy/blacksmithing and its AfD participation is focused overwhelmingly on attempting to delete fiction and popular culture related articles. Not likely a coincidence.

:Supporting evidence:

• [http://tools.wikimedia.de/~interiot/cgi-bin/Tool1/wannabe_kate?username=Graevemoore&site=en.wikipedia.org compare this] with [http://tools.wikimedia.de/~interiot/cgi-bin/Tool1/wannabe_kate?username=Eyrian&site=en.wikipedia.org this]
• Their image uploads and layout thereof are even similar: User:Eyrian/Created#Images and User:Graevemoore
• The IP 72.151.55.27 says: "It's been awhile since I've seen an ipc article nominated", but he has no real ipc AfD participation prior to that post [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Time_and_fate_deities_in_popular_culture&diff=prev&oldid=210377680 diff]
• Neither Eyrian nor Graevemoore have email enabled
• Graevemore already has a couple talk page warnings for suspected hoax articles or copy vios: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Graevemoore&oldid=194501994
• For 71.9.8.150 see [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Time_and_fate_deities_in_popular_culture&diff=210798095&oldid=210753272 diff]
• This IP seems similar: [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/75.5.225.151 contribs of 75.5.225.151]
• Both have an interest in armor: Graevemoore created Filippo_Negroli - Eyrian created Charles_ffoulkes
• Both have an interest in Germany: Graevemoore created New_Germany_State_Park - Eyrian created Cultus_Ferox
• Both have an interest in metal working: Graevemoore created Hardfacing - Eyrian created Planishing

• Note, the earlier RFCU on Eyrian was here: Wikipedia:Requests_for_checkuser/Case/JohnEMcClure

:As the person who spotted Eyrian's socking (which Eyrian himself later confirmed), I endorse this request. Concerns remain. Durova^Charge! 23:53, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

::Furthermore - similar behaviour at AfD -see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dungeons & Dragons creatures vs. Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Azalin Rex (2nd nomination) - both appear to be keen to get the last word in. Cheers, Casliber (talk · contribs) 07:58, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

• {{deferred}} another checkuser. Try asking Morven, Lar or Dmcdevit. Graevemoore is not himself running socks but Eyrian's edits are stale unless another CU saved their results. Thatcher 00:16, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

:Looks like it was Morven so I will post a note there referring to here. Cheers, Casliber (talk · contribs) 01:17, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

::I emailed all three. — Rlevse • Talk • 01:18, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

:::What I have is thin but any en:wp CU can ask me for it... I would appreciate Morven sharing if he has anything saved... ++Lar: t/c 01:50, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

{{clerknote}} Graevemoore blocked indef, 72.151.55.27 3 months, and 71.9.8.150 3 months by {{admin|Vassyana}} under per QUACK. — Rlevse • Talk • 12:03, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
