Evidence submitted by Acroterion

Aggressive and prolific POV warrior on racial issues with a particular focus on Eric Holder. Rangeblocks in place for the obvious IP ranges above, but has managed to register at least one new account. All but NathanForrest101 ( talk · contribs) blocks, and he quacks loudly. Acroterion (talk) 20:25, 15 July 2010 (UTC) reply

Personally, I don't care if they are a sock, a new account, or a self-aware computer, but edits like this (among others of same type) are unacceptable. I've blocked them indefinitely. TN X Man 20:49, 15 July 2010 (UTC) reply

  • Since they have given you their school and possibly their name as part of their usernames, it might be worth a call to UGA to report the user in person. If they are using UGA computers to do the vandalism, they are probably breaking some college rule there. At least they would face some real world consequences. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 06:58, 16 July 2010 (UTC) reply
The one account is a play off of Nathan Bedford Forrest, first Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan. – MuZemike 07:04, 16 July 2010 (UTC) reply
Oh...I was going on the hope there was a student named "Nathan Forrest" at UGA, but yeah, the above connection is probably more likely...sadly. OK, nevermind. :) - Neutralhomer • Talk • 07:19, 16 July 2010 (UTC) reply
The choice of Nathan Bedford Forrest as a name sums it up. The choice of UGAdawgs as a username is an egregious smear on the university. One of the later IPs mentioned that the user was at work and was using proxies "to avoid punishment." It seems to me that an edit filter could be crafted for this one. Acroterion (talk) 11:27, 16 July 2010 (UTC) reply
  • To give some history, this all started with me giving UGAdawgs2010 a WP:3RR block, after edit warring with that account and 96.32.148.208 ( talk · contribs), despite a previous block for edit warring. The user has a history of making, at best, inappropriate additions, to articles on US topics. After the block sock puppet accounts/IPs began appearing and it has steeply advanced from there over the last few days. CT Cooper · talk 18:46, 16 July 2010 (UTC) reply

Evidence submitted by DD2K

It seems as soon as JahnTeller07 was blocked, Ikilled007 appeared on the Obama talk page to admonish the editors that were trying to prevent the disruption by JahnTeller07 and the listed anon ips. If you look at the contributions by Ikilled007 you can see during a similar disruption period in March of 2009 the term "whitewashing" was also being used, and sarcastic overacting, in an almost exact manner by Ikilled007( 1, 2, 3, 4) as JahnTeller07( 1, 2, 3) and the anon ips have recently( 1, 2, 3).

The reason I've asked for a CU on this case is because it seems as if the socks may be related to other SPI cases. One editor suggested that the user was a sock-puppet of Gaydenver, but I thought the locations of the IP and styles were more closely related to the South Bay SPI case.

Please investigate. And then reprimand this guy for being so ignorant. I live in Sicily. I have only one wikipedia account. Easily verifiable. Ikilled007 ( talk) 19:20, 2 August 2010 (UTC) reply

Red X Unrelated - there is no technical relationship between Ikilled007 and those IPs, nor is there any technical relationship betweeen the JahnTeller07 and any of them. However:

First edit was to a talk page to re-open discussion of prior sock (JahnTeller07)'s trolling. Editing the same target pages. Very quick to understand what a "sock" is and demand a check user. Quack! SummerPhD ( talk) 03:25, 6 August 2010 (UTC) reply

I have no idea who this is! I knew what a sock is because I looked it up after someone said that I was being a sock. Grignard4120 P.S. I hope I did the requesting checkinguser thing correctly, if not can someone let me know how to request that someone check my internet signature? Grignard4120

I mentioned this at ANI. This seems to be a WP:DUCK case, and (with this or other puppeteers messing with the main Obama page) something that needs quicker action than an SPI. This one is so obvious, it really doesn't need process. Thanks, - Wikidemon ( talk) 03:32, 6 August 2010 (UTC) reply

Evidence submitted by SummerPhD

Banned user claims to be back on User_talk:UGAdawgs2010. Sure enough, Unicorn76's first edits were to various talk pages in support of previously controversial additions to those pages, such as this one. Is quite fond of defending FOX at Talk:Fox_News_Channel and is quacking quite a bit. Prior socks outlined their agendas: [1], [2], etc. Unicorn76 makes it clear as well.
