;Evidence

User is engaged in war editing across a slew of entries to push agenda on currently contested [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style_%28dates_and_numbers%29#Binary_prefixes] debate. Using sock puppets/dynamic IP to get around 3RR rule. Several of the IP's had been banned by admins, but yet more keep appearing.

  • The user is now blanking 3RR [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Sarenne&diff=prev&oldid=133203660 warnings] and blanking sock puppet [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Sarenne&diff=next&oldid=133203660 warnings] with the comment "and rm the 2nd liar's accusation. I don't care." which doesn't show ver good faith in this process. Therefore I submit this as evidence that User:Sarenne is on balance more likely to be guilty. Fnagaton 16:51, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
  • :And another blanking of the same warnings. http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Sarenne&diff=133207548&oldid=133207448 Fnagaton 17:04, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
  • ::And now the user has moved the talk page to [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Sarenne/Liars&action=history here] which has the effect of breaking the links above that show the repeated blanking of these warnings. Fnagaton 17:16, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

;Comments

  • I agree with is report. The language/phrasing used in the change comments, the actual changes, the time of day the "anonymous" user is most active, the "amazing" ability of the new anonymous user to start submitting spurious 3RR reports against editors without first warning the editor and the way Sarenne has already been blocked for disruptive edits on the same topic all make me suspect Sarenne of sock puppetry.

;Conclusions

  • User:Sarenne was blocked as a single-purpose edit-warring sockpuppet, separate from this report. The above IPs are mostly open proxies and have been blocked as such. Because they are open proxies, there may be no way to confirm the connection between User:Sarenne and the IPs, but they were both edit warring for the very same issue, and User:Sarenne was the only user account edit-warring for it, at least the only user edit-warring presently and so rampantly. —Centrx→talk • 18:37, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
