Specifically, lest it's lost in the numerous diffs above, we have:
Too many non-neutral admins here; too much censorship of Wiki aimed at the CEPR, Weisbrot, Baker articles; and too much uneven application of Wiki policy. SandyGeorgia ( Talk) 20:05, 17 February 2010 (UTC) |

Question: what about the accounts User:markweisbrot, User:Scalabrineformvp and User:Constitutional1787? All remain blocked, the last cleared by checkuser and the first two different people editing from the same office (CEPR). Which implies COI issues and limiting to talk comments on the relevant articles, but not blocking. See eg User talk:Kriswarner - an account tarred with the same brush but now unblocked.

I agree with Sandy, here. I have no idea how many times I have been checkusered, but I'm sure the number is not low, given some private emails I've gotten, as well as on-wiki accusations that were leveled against me. I really don't care if people CU me, because I am not running multiple accounts. Scott aka UnitAnode 20:51, 18 February 2010 (UTC)
BreakSure, let's. Let me start by making clear that Rob and I don't deal with each other much, and we nearly always disagree when we do. He wants to delete everything even mildly controversial unless the subject is quoted as admitting to whatever the controversial charge is, and I don't. As a result, we have had the occasional edit war and several talk page battles. Given that history, I find it hard to believe that Rob would suddenly become a sock puppet or to collude in reference to an article outside of his normal editing area. Did Sandy even look at Rob's edit history before deciding that he and these others must be the same people? Rob edits seem primarily to center on UK BLPs, but he spends a lot of time the BLP noticeboard advancing his view of BLP, which seems to be that we should not say things about subjects that he figures would upset them. He is incredibly distrustful of news reportage and often rejects perfectly respectable journalistic sources. In his, what, five? edits at Mark Weisbrot, he seems to have acted in conformity with that history. His removal of the POV tag is not exactly unprecedented, either, as it wasn't even the only time he did it in the last week. [26] Also, the biggest part of what he did was remove several six of seven cites that were shoehorned into one ref. From an outside perspective, it certainly looks excessive, so it is hard to see that as a POV edit. Anyway, given the paucity of article-space edits involved, the conclusion that he may be a sock must based in large part on things that happened on the talk page or on noticeboards. I've read Talk:Mark Weisbrot, and how one could reasonably get the idea he's a sock or is colluding is beyond me. I challenge anyone to read the talk page from the section " Otrs ticket discussion" to " Article revisted" and explain how that makes Rob look like a sock. Apparently there was an ANI, but I haven't seen a link. Perhaps that is where the allegations of personal attacks come in, but that is hard to judge without diffs, and I'm not going to go hunting for them. Two specific questions Sandy raised in her evidence were just odd. The allegation that Rob might be editing for CEPR is so lacking in any evidentiary basis that it is impossible to even address it. Finally, I have to admit accusation #9 made me laugh. I hope it was intended as a joke, because the existence of that conversation undercuts the very notion that Rob and Rd are colluding on these articles. Rob, as usual, supported removing controversial claims, but Rd thought they should stay. I don't think there is any merit to the claims, and the checkuser request should be denied. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rrius ( talk • contribs) February 18, 2010

Clerk endorsed highly likely, however, because Kriswarner has been editing a different page, I'm not to comfortable with just recommending this for duck. Would like to determine if there is a link between Scalabrineformvp, Kriswarner and

For at least ten years, there has been a history of SPAs editing the CEPR suite, including one past instance of acknowledged meatpuppetry, [27] [28] and now a new instance of an editor with the same approach who edited logged out, acknowledged the edit, [29] and whose IP geolocates to within one block of the address of the company. The timing of accounts processing through these articles and then leaving is suggestive of internships at CEPR. If this is ongoing meatpuppetry, in spite of a past warning, can a CU be run, or a new warning issued?

Accused parties may also comment/discuss in this section below. See Defending yourself against claims.
I am outraged at this baseless claim. I have engaged in dialogue with this editor despite continuous tone policing and accusations of my neutrality. More importantly, all my arguments are based heavily on Wikipedia’s policies, which I quote frequently in my posts. I link to one of our discussions here: ( /info/en/?search=Talk:Center_for_Economic_and_Policy_Research#Recent_Edit). The claim about my IP’s location is false. I have no idea what they’re talking about regarding this. This is setting aside the fact that I’d asked this editor previously to remove my IP from a talk page because I value my privacy (and appreciate Wikipedia’s commitment to editor privacy). Instead they have reposted it here. I would like it removed from this page and the talk page where it originally appeared. I would also note that this editor has a history of these types of allegations, for which they have been previously warned and blocked (see: https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=User_talk:SandyGeorgia&diff=561552787&oldid=561550807#June_2013). As per Defending yourself against claims I am limiting my comment to matters directly related to the accusation. I can provide further information about this editor’s interactions with me if necessary. - DenizenGene ( talk) 13:50, 21 April 2018 (UTC)
