Art Dominique

  • Code letter: F
  • Last confirmed sockpuppet of Art Dominique: user:Dimitri Harlamov (rather stale)
  • Last sockpuppet of Art Dominique (per the duck test): user:A. Tihonov (user's only two contribs are adding the very same text at the same spot).

Posse72 had added exactly the same text Art Dominique has been trying to add via his army of sockpuppets all these years. After being reverted, he requested editor assistance claiming that a vandal is deleting "important fact coverd with tons of sources", which is untrue - the huge chunk of text never had a single source backing it up, ever since Art Dominique whipped it up in the first place back in 2006. This behavior is characteristic of Art Dominique, who often claimed things that were quite the opposite of truth ( example), but somewhat odd for Posse72, who is known to have revert warred to push the same POV as Art Dominique in the past (see the warnings on his talk page), but I don't recall him acting as Art Dominique's meatpuppet as he so openly does now. A checkuser was suggested to clarify the relation between Posse and Art Dominique, so here it goes. -- Illythr ( talk) 21:50, 30 December 2008 (UTC) reply

Based on the list of suspected socks and user:Art Dominique/sockpuppetry, the following are  Confirmed:
  1. A. Tihonov ( talk · contribs)
  2. Dominique Art ( talk · contribs)

Posse72 ( talk · contribs) is operating from a different country than Art Dominique, so I'll say it's  Unlikely. Nishkid64 ( Make articles, not wikidrama) 23:24, 30 December 2008 (UTC) reply

  • Code letter: F

Just a new batch of puppets from Art Dominique to continue edit warring in Continuation War. Tries to add disputed section Art Dominique tried to add at December 2006 to the Continuation War. Again. No edits in other articles. -- Whiskey ( talk) 07:38, 10 July 2008 (UTC) reply

Continues edit warring in Continuation War. If you check contributions of above accounts, you notice that they have only been used for editing the Continuation War, and basically only adding disputed section Art Dominique tried to add last December.

Art Dominique

  • Code letter: F

Continues edit warring in Continuation War. It seems that he creates new sock puppet as the older ones are closed, so soft protection isn't working. Is there any other way to protect the article without closing it from development? -- Whiskey 11:00, 15 January 2007 (UTC) reply

I do not think his every sock needs to go to checkuser, an administratior can just block them on sight, based on his edists. The previous checks are proof enough of his tactics. -- Petri Krohn 11:15, 15 January 2007 (UTC) reply

Art Dominique

The above suspected sockpuppets are all active on the Continuation War article and, after the article's protection, on its talk page. They have repeatedly inserted a large section (containing many unsourced claims and questionable scholarship, see dispute on the talk page for details) without seeking consensus with the rest of the editors. With the exception of 213.216.199.6, all are single-purpose accounts, contributing only to the Continuation war article or its related talk. User "Ahven is a fish" also had only a few minor contributions in three related articles.

Recently, several of these users have taken to attacking their opposition with various accusations of conspiracy, propaganda and sockpuppetry: [5], [6], [7], [8], as well as agreeing to each other, thus creating an impression of a "concerned majority" [9], [10], [11] etc.

It appears that Art Dominique, as well as two more IPs from this range (213.216.199.0 - 213.216.199.63) were already blocked as part of a sockpuppet army ( listed here) focusing on Finnish history last year.

The more "vocal" users (Nadja, Ahven Anno Domino and the IP) also share the same writing style, full of pathos, rhetorics and accusations. -- Illythr 14:11, 3 January 2007 (UTC) reply

Addendum- I got a very strange post to my talk page from a brand new account accusing Illythr of being a sockpuppet himself, with three other editors (one of whom I've had issues with recently, this person seemed to think I was an admin and I think they were trying to manipulate me into blocking all of these accounts). Anyway, here is the post to my talk page [12], [13], etc. etc. TheQuandry 21:51, 3 January 2007 (UTC) reply
Please do no list me here. I'm not the same as Art Dominique or other else here. -- Huckleberry Hugo

 Clerk note: See Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Kven. The Kven-user, a person who edits from multiple short term sock accounts, is restricted to one account and may be banned from any article he disrupts.

Hi, I tell you that my personality cannot be hidden under the name Art Dominique. My contributions here are minor ones. I have only supported Art Dominique and others who tell the truth. I have seen that Art Dominique works very hard to rectify some false beliefs about Continuation War. He uses much more historical references than his opponents in these pages. Do not prevent the truth come forth. - Masa62 12:14, 4 January 2007 (UTC) reply

Added just another IP 213.216.199.26 to the list.
