All new accounts disrupting Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#User%3ATzarN64. — rsjaffe 🗣️ 04:19, 5 May 2025 (UTC)

:I do want to say that maybe it's possible TzarN64 could be getting framed here. The edits made by the user reported below, especially, are not like Tzar's behavior from my experience. She has made a lot of mistakes on Wikipedia (hence why I still support the CBAN) but I have never seen her resort to personal attacks of that degree and she did try to disclose her departure from Wikipedia on the Teahouse about wanting to close her account. Only a CheckUser will be able to determine the outcome here, though. λ NegativeMP1 05:19, 5 May 2025 (UTC)

::Yes there's a high likelyhood that she's being framed. Everyone makes mistakes, but this is not a mistake. It is intentional "socking" designed to target users. All those accounts above are not like Tzar's behavior. Since the ANI was not about socking, I will continue to support the CBAN, but with the SP tag removed.

And:

• {{checkuser| SweetCandyRevenge}}

who has now upped the behavior to include more-explicit threats of violence. Can't rule out joe-job because I don't have the magic goggles. DMacks (talk) 05:02, 5 May 2025 (UTC)

Looking more closely, per NegativeMP1's detail, TheSageofContributing appears to be the only other one to make a threat. DMacks (talk) 05:24, 5 May 2025 (UTC)

This case is being reviewed by {{u|DoubleGrazing}} as part of the clerk training process. Please allow them to process the entire case without interference, and pose any questions or concerns either on their talk page or on this page if more appropriate.

• {{Endorse}} - yes, needs to be checked; while it's quite clear the socks were knitted specifically for the ANI, it's not clear without CU who knitted them. DoubleGrazing (talk) 06:37, 5 May 2025 (UTC)
