User created account User:Truthseekers solely to make edit to Michel Foucault to avoid 3RR detection in insertion of homophobic original research. Edit made was identical to one made only by User:Kmaguir1, who has been skirting the edge of 3RR on above article and on Judith Butler since an earlier 3RR block. Specifically, after Kmaguir1 became aware of 3RR blocking, he made three reversions to Foucault within a few hours; about 15 minutes after the 3rd such reversion, the new account "Truthseekers" was created, and its first edit was restoration of this identical disputed material. Following that, Truthseekers went on to make two addition such reversions (but staying at 3, rather than making 4; out of an apparent concern for 3RR policy).
Kmaguir1 has used the phrase "truthseeker" repeatedly on my user talk page, and on Talk:Judith Butler in the last couple hours. Not a lot of creativity was involved in choice of sock-puppet name. LotLE× talk 05:56, 11 August 2006 (UTC) reply
Funny additional detail: "Truthseekers" second edit was to East Memphis, Memphis, which is where Kmaguir1's user page says he lives. Of course, at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/3RR, which Truthseekers somehow stumbled across on his 4th edit, he emphatically denies being Kmaguir1. LotLE× talk
Also: Truthseekers now edits User talk:Kmaguir1 to remove the sock-puppet template: [1]
Distinctive archaism in using the word "agreeance": Truthseekers ( [2]); Kmaguir1 ([?]). LotLE× talk 00:18, 12 August 2006 (UTC) reply
On User talk:Truthseekers, "Truthseekers" makes the comment:
There was no sock puppet notice on my page, only some drivel posted by Lulu of the Lotus Eaters explaining the three re-edit rule to me, which I had not even come close to violating yet. The sock puppet warning is on my friend's webpage, and he hasn't taken it down. -Truthseekers 15:42, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
However, there was a sock-puppet notice on the Truthseekers account (removed by Truthseekers as his only edit to his userpage), but a 3RR notice only on the Kmaguir1 account. The (repeated) slippage in the use of "my account" to describe the other account makes it pretty clear that this is a self-identical person rather than merely a "close friend" as purported. LotLE× talk
It appears Kmaguir1 has now added the sockpuppet User:Sonofhealfdane to carry on a make-believe conversation with himself on Talk:Michel Foucault. This account had made a couple earlier edits back in december, but none since until suddenly discovering the need to restore Kmaguir1's contentious original-research on the article.
A sock puppet? Truthseekers’ a friend of mine—I resent that you think I would pretend to be someone else—I wanted to get some community involvement, etc. Come on—bringing more people onto wikipedia only helps us. I have never used the word “truthseeker” on Lulu’s page. I think she’s enraged that I did what Wikipedia is supposed to do—go out and bring new people into the community. Didn't mean to delete the message she left either--didn't really read the regulations on it. - Kmaguir1 06:56, 11 August 2006 (UTC) reply
I mean he's a new user--what do you expect him to be able to read, when he all of a sudden gets thrown into a sock-puppetry battle? Hell, I don't even know anything about it. He probably got rid of it because he didn't want his page cluttered (the First thing on his page!) with sock-puppetry allegations. I would tell him to do the same thing--before reading the rules. I'm sure he didn't mean any harm by that--and apologies all around if that "thwarts the process". But we're different people, using different computers, different IPs, and I wasn't ordering anything. I am not a liar, and take strong exception to the allegation I am one. I expect to be vindicated, and I expect that for me, Wikipedia will be vindicated in that it will find me righteous before these untruths. - Kmaguir1 07:08, 11 August 2006 (UTC) reply

Lulu called Truthseekers a sockpuppet. She initiated an investigation in furtherance of this--so SHE has to deal with that. She should be penalized for falsely calling him a sockpuppet, for so maligning the both of us. And you can already see she is beginning to backslide--that she admits the possibility of meatpuppetry, etc. No, no. She initiated a sockpuppetry, so she believes sockpuppetry. Let's not discuss here, or elsewhere, meatpuppetry, until we've dismissed Lulu's charge of sockpuppetry. Period. She can't backslide from her original stance, she has to be held accountable. - Kmaguir1 19:15, 12 August 2006 (UTC) reply
There has already been a ruling and a small punitive action has been taken against my friend, Kmaquir1. However, no punative action has been taken against me and the ruling appears to acknowledge that I am no sock puppet. Since there has already been a ruling, I expect the acusations from Lulu and others to cease immediatly. Should further slander continue, I'm sure Wikipedia offers some solution against personal attack, as that's what such maliciousness would be. - Truthseekers 22:05, 12 August 2006 (UTC) reply
Please see my statements about Son's claims on the Michel Foucault talk page. I support blocking him for as long as an admin feels justified. That sort of hyperbole, it's disastrous. And frankly, I'm insulted someone would call him my sock. N oevidence would exist for this, naturally. - Kmaguir1 07:13, 13 August 2006 (UTC) reply
RFCU came back possible, as well as another sock. Both [Truthseekers and another one] have been blocked. Iola k ana| T 13:53, 13 August 2006 (UTC) reply
