Was reported to WP:AIV as an obvious sock by User:Noclador, a cursory check indicates this might be the case. But SuperblySpiffingPerson is currently restricted from editing in article space as a part of their unblock; if they have been using this account to edit in article space that impacts on them as well, so for procedural purposes I would like an Checkuser to confirm it is not an imposter etc.

(I would have let noclador file the SPI, but Gaddafipeace is currently editing :) so best to nip it in the bud) Errant ^(chat!) 10:08, 5 April 2011 (UTC)

• 2011 Libyan civil war is semiprotected. Gaddafipeace made ten mostly minor edits to other articles, many of them apparently completely pointless null edits such as [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ni&diff=prev&oldid=422477638 this one], and then, four days and eleven edits after registering, started contentious editing of 2011 Libyan civil war. This is unambiguous evidence of an editor with experience of Wikipedia's ways gaming the system to get round the semiprotection. However, whether this is because it is an established user (such as SuperblySpiffingPerson) that is prevented from editing the article for some reason, or someone who has previously edited only anonymously I cannot tell.

I have blocked this user for 48 hours for various kinds of problematic editing, including gross violations of the BLP policy and some acts of unambiguous vandalism. However, I regard 48 hours as absolutely minimal. The block is only that short because the editor is ostensibly a new editor, but I don't really believe that this is a new editor. They have far more knowledge of how Wikipedia works than an editor who had only been here for a short while could possibly have, so I believe this is a sockpuppet of someone or other. If that can be confirmed then the block should certainly be extended to indefinite. JamesBWatson (talk) 16:34, 17 April 2011 (UTC)

Registered user and IP both seem to have a bit of a battleground mentality in trying to remove another editor's Talk page comment from Talk:List of surviving veterans of World War I - the comment simply says "RIP Claude Choules :(" after M Choules died - and the IP edit summary suggests ideological, not policy, motivation. Also, PrussianKaiser has only just registered and immediately nominated this article for deletion - seems also to know about WP:BATTLEGROUND and clearly has knowledge of List policies. This raises my suspicions about this perhaps not being their first account - perhaps CheckUser? -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 10:15, 7 May 2011 (UTC)

:There's no fault in not logging in when you don't want to waste time on it, especially when the only reason you created a login in the first place was to be able to accomplish the action of nominating content for deletion. And in no circumstances should disputation about the appropriateness of third party talkpage comments be settled by one of the parties to the dispute threatening and implementing bans. That is corrupt. Such adjuducations should only come from an uninvolved disinterested party.— Preceding unsigned comment added by PrussianKaiser (talk • contribs) 11:32, 7 May 2011

::I'm not a party to any dispute - I reverted and blocked your IP simply for breach of the rules about not refactoring other people's Talk page comments and not edit-warring - which are pretty hard line rules.

suspicious choice of username, typical articles edited with pro-Gaddafi slant; plus the editing time is the usual time when SuperblySpiffingPerson becomes active. noclador (talk) 04:28, 2 July 2011 (UTC)

: re. Kynuna - POV editing and then saying it is just a minor edit - typical modus operandi for SSP + inserting a note that the NTC is against democracy.

• {{checkuser|1=Kynuna}}
• StopWarCrimes is {{unrelated}}.
• On a completely separate note, I stumbled across several accounts that are {{confirmed}} matches to each other, but unrelated to SSP or anyone else really (they haven't edited, so there may be no action to take):

• {{adminnote}} Well then. I've unblocked StopWarCrimes (my guess is that it's one of the IPs that's edited on these pages), but have updated the tags on the others. As to those five random accounts, I say we leave them alone for now. — HelloAnnyong ^{(say whaaat?!)} 14:13, 2 July 2011 (UTC)

WP:Duck: reasons are the choice of username, the first edit ([http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:2011_Libyan_civil_war&diff=prev&oldid=446122957 "With so few of the good guys left fighting"]), then 10 no-edits, then marking highly POV edits at 2011 Libyan civil war as minor edits ([http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=2011_Libyan_civil_war&diff=prev&oldid=446934548 i.e.]).

highly POV edits and immediately goes to Muammar Gaddafi ‎for some whitewashing, but not before deleting news about Libya from the Portal:Current events; only strange thing are his edits of Karl Popper and Gresham's law. noclador (talk) 06:21, 7 September 2011 (UTC)

• {{Declined}} - AGK [•] 09:11, 7 September 2011 (UTC)
• {{Endorse}} I don't understand why this case was declined. Public awareness clearly is not a new user; no one's first edit is to Reference desk with that specific of a comment. It may or may not be Spiffing, but that can certainly be looked at. I'd also like to see if there are sleepers. — HelloAnnyong ^{(say whaaat?!)} 01:27, 8 September 2011 (UTC)
• I was mistaken in that I thought there was no history of serious abuse or sock-puppetry. Evidently I missed the bold-print link to the archive… My bad. I'll run this now. AGK [•] 10:23, 8 September 2011 (UTC)
