A new user who registered ten days ago who has since been aggressively edit warring, [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AImprobabilityDrive&diff=127589424&oldid=127589116 personal attacks], advanced knowledge of policy/tags, and [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Creation-evolution_controversy&diff=prev&oldid=127587620 straight out paranoia] on creationist articles against consensus. With s/he's second edit and [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Billy_Sunday&diff=prev&oldid=124278678 within 15 minutes] of registering, already knew how to sign s/he username.

Show a remarkable knowledge of [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Louisiana_Baptist_University&diff=127031867&oldid=127023556 tags and policies] with 7 days of editing. Interestingly, these edit go against a long decided consensus.

This user [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Creation-evolution_controversy&diff=prev&oldid=127587620 accuses others of being socks], but [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AImprobabilityDrive&diff=127068304&oldid=127059983 refuses to] answer if s/he has had previous accounts.

[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Creation-evolution_controversy#Disruptive_editing.2C_next_steps.3F Some long standing admin/editors] are going to seek an RfC for this user, and have [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:ImprobabilityDrive#NPA condemned] this users behavior. Visit User talk:ImprobabilityDrive for a instructive display of what's going on.

This checkuser will prove socks or vindicate the user for the ImprobabilityDrive RfC as well as [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:ImprobabilityDrive#3RR_warning 3RR rules]. Arbustoo 15:50, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

• Refile
• [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Creation-evolution_controversy&diff=127541203&oldid=127541056 ImprobabilityDrive] changed the IP signature from {{vandal|65.73.81.131}} to his username and confirmed this was his [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AOrangemarlin&diff=128342957&oldid=128342804 here] (and [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:ImprobabilityDrive&diff=prev&oldid=128547134 again today]).
• All of the IP sockpuppets of VacuousPoet logged on through Frontier Communications, Rochester, NY. Please see Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/VacuousPoet (2nd) for those sockpuppets.
• VacuousPoet is a banned user for sockpuppetry, and who was also a sockpuppet of another banned user Kdbuffalo.
• user:Gnixon ended his editing of various Evolution and Creation articles at the same time as User:ImprobabilityDrive began his. See Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/VacuousPoet (3rd)

:{{Likely}} that ImprobabilityDrive is VacuousPoet based upon the information provided. Gnixon seems unrelated. --jpgordon^∇∆∇∆ 03:16, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

::Indeed, I am not ImprobabilityDrive. Could someone clarify what evidence indicates ImprobabilityDrive is VacuousPoet? I can't find it, and ID has claimed (see his talk page) that he is not VP. (Related comment: I'm a little amused by how impressed people are that a newly-registered user found the 4 tildes within a few minutes, and found tags within a week. It seems clear ID was editing under just an IP address for awhile, as I'd imagine is true for most new users.) Gnixon 06:31, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

:::It does not matter what he did or didn't do, how fast he learned how to put in a signature, or if he was you or not. The checkuser showed that he was a sockpuppet of several banned editors, including VacuousPoet, who himself was a sockpuppet of the banned Kdbuffalo. ID's comments to the contrary aren't relevant, and given the checkuser finding, his claims are probably lies. Since you are SO aware of Wiki procedures, I'm pretty certain you already knew this.

::::JP said "based upon the information provided." I'm just asking whether he used information beside what's available to me here, since I can't see any proof on this page that ID=VP. Is there information from some checkuser somewhere that's also being used? Gnixon 19:40, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

:::::Yes. I ran a checkuser. Feel free to ignore the "based upon the information provided" comment. --jpgordon^∇∆∇∆ 21:20, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

:::::::And that end's that. Orangemarlin 21:21, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

:::::Thanks, JP. Pleasure speaking with you again, OM. Gnixon 01:35, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
