Evidence

Both editing tendentiously on Henotheism, both use similar edit summaries with full sentences and punctuation, both sign "Be Well," user VS backing up AF here [1] and identically here [2]

I don't have two modems, or even two computers for that matter! Anywho from my neighborhood or county or state or country who signs as "Be well" or "Take care" or anyone who supports my views - they are all my sock-puppets!!! BTW, you should know that Bach ( User:Dbachmann) composes the symphony in the morning and issues rvs to look good and please so-called admins. He is also trying to become an admin. Then in the afternoon, he switches onto another modem and sock-puppets in as Ludwig Van Beethoven ( User:Ludwigs2) to fight it out for Bach ( User:Dbachmann) edits. Very well orchestrated. Both tendentiously pushing their views here Talk:Henotheism. Furthermore, admin User:Dougweller keeps insisting that no verifiablity is required and keeps pushing rvs based on "consensus". His edit comment on a recent Henotheism rv - "I have looked at the talk page, it is clear there is no consensus for this edit". Admin of "consensus" or "verifiability"? This place has become a sad joke. All this is obviously an admin trap to set me up for another block for no good reason. Check my history. I am a good faith editor. Wikipedia bureaucracy is a joke and should be dissolved ASAP. If nothing changes, Wikipedia admins will be nothing more than a digitized form of Nazism and you will be left with poor POV editors (admin boot-lickers) if the current form of Wikipedia bureaucracy remains. Be well and Take care. VedicScience ( talk) 20:48, 6 October 2008 (UTC) reply

Comments

• Note: I have blocked User:VedicScience for one week. This follows not just his incivility here, but his numerous inappropriate responses to my advice on his talk page. Consider how much ADvaitaFan accomplishes in the next week in your analysis. -- Ricky81682 ( talk) 05:41, 7 October 2008 (UTC) reply

Hi YellowMonkey, this user is editing similar pages and with a similar tone to User:VedicScience. Could you check whether VS is sockpuppeting and therefore evading his/her block. Thanks Gizza ^{Discuss ©} 07:58, 4 October 2008 (UTC) reply

From the technical it is certainly possible. VS only edits from a home account, and ADF edits from an office computer. However, the locations of the home and office are only about 20-50km away from each other in teh same metro zone so that's quite plausible for a developed country with a good transport system. He seems very up to speed with all the policies and the like, and if he talks with the same idosyncrasies as well....
