- Evidence
On User:Hilscher, Hilscher (talk · contribs) claims to have started the articles Sawdust, Mohorovičić discontinuity, Gutenberg discontinuity, Wardog, and Keelboat despite the fact that the articles were started by other users. When asked about it, the user repeats the claim that they started the articles. Seems to be an admission of sockpuppet use, so I'm filing this with the assumption that there are more where these came from.
Keelboat was created by (indef blocked) editor Demonesque (talk · contribs). Sawdust was created by 24.241.225.148 (talk · contribs) (not included in this report since they haven't edited since 2005, but WHOIS is similar to listed IPs). The third edit to Sawdust was by User:Demonesque. Gutenberg discontinuity, which is now a redirect, was created by User:Demonesque.
War dog was created by Ebonius (talk · contribs), who has very few other edits.
Mohorovičić discontinuity was created by Penfold (talk · contribs) who seems unrelated, but edited by user:Demonesque.
IP editor 68.185.166.126 (talk · contribs) made this edit to User:Hilscher. They have recently edited a discussion at Talk:Cecil Rhodes with Hilscher and 66.191.125.140 (talk · contribs). The IPs have similar WHOIS info and leave talk page comments of a similar style.
- Comments
User:Hilscher got themselves indef blocked while I was writing this up. Perhaps the socks can be blocked/tagged anyway, and the IP info put to some use. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 16:52, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Addendum: User:66.190.62.245 turned up to complain about Hilscher's treatment. It seems to be in the same block of ISPs, so I added it. Why not just make the complaint yourself? I don't get the recent obsession half of the world seems to have with pretending to be an independent defender of themselves. --tiny plastic Grey Knight ⊖ 16:48, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
