- Evidence
After thelegendofviz received a 3RR warning on Greek (TV series), an account that has gone unused for almost a year suddenly begins doing the exact same edits to the article.
- Comments
Collectonian entered into an "edit war" with myself and now has accused me of sock puppetry in order to "win" the argument. I have one account, thelegendofvix. The accuser has not listed what other account(s) that I allegedly have created/activated. Just an accusation. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Thelegendofvix (talk • contribs) 20:37, May 28, 2008
- I have not entered into an edit war with you, you were already in one with five other editors over inappropriate content. -- AnmaFinotera (talk · contribs)
- You still have not given any evidence that I have engaged in sock puppetry. And you did revert several of my reverts.Thelegendofvix (talk) 01:47, 29 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- The evidence is above. An admin will determine the rest. I reverted your inappropriate and continued edit warring with multiple other edits. You are the only one edit warring here and displaying heavy ownership issues. -- AnmaFinotera (talk · contribs) 01:49, 29 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Check the IP addresses. Also, if you look at the log this account went inactive way before my (only) account went active. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Thelegendofvix (talk • contribs) 01:57, 29 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- An admin will do the investigating. -- AnmaFinotera (talk · contribs) 01:59, 29 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I know. And you will do the accusing, no?Thelegendofvix (talk) 02:01, 29 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I think it is funny that I get accused of sockpuppeteering from someone, but when I try to do the same thing I get no "due process." The circumstances are the same for both users (Collectonian and myself) even though the alleged motives are different. Interesting how her sockpuppet case was removed and mine was not. Concordantly, I also think it is funny/pathetic/sad that Collectonian cannot stand it when someone makes a valid point that is contrary to hers. She will throw every weak argument in the book at you to prove you wrong even going as far as to accuse you of sockpuppeting. If you look at her editing history, on her 20K+ so called "contributions" you will see that rather than taking a neutral and academic stance she frequently deletes anything that is contrary to her wikipedia ideology offering no respect for users out there who hold different viewpoints and opinions out there. If you want to see an example of this take a look at her precious award winning Meercat Manor. If she, the wikiGod, does not approve of what goes into the content, precisely how it reads, or its literary merit, she will remove it. If it does not flow with what she feels is true and accurate it is gone. Sounds more like a wikiBully obsessed with being right and winning internet arguments all under the guise of finding just the right statement (while ignoring the ones that are contrary) on wikipedia's vast array of guidelines. All in all, I know that I can be stubborn but wow...I have never seen anything linke this! You win the DundieThelegendofvix (talk) 23:56, 29 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Honestly, I have not used or logged into this account in ages because I don't need to edit pages and whatnot. I made this when I was younger and completely forgot about it until now. I decided to just log in one day due to curiosity of if it still existed, etc. Due to my own laziness, I kept my account logged in. I don't know who edited that page for sure, but I am almost positive that it was my younger sister. This case should be closed because it is just made up of false accusations. I don't even know Thelegendofvix. Thanks. -- Preshuzz
Sorry Preshuzz, I don't think you can be excused yet, as there is little evidence to move this case along. I'd still like to comment that most of Thelegendofvix's edits are for Greek (TV).
I'd also further like to note that most of Preshuzz's edits don't suggest that he is a sockpuppet for Thelegendofvix. They also support the story he/she claimed, so I'd like to suggest that maybe we look at this case only in ANI. Yojimbo501 (talk) 22:09, 30 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Conclusions
I intend to send this to checkuser. A simple check of contribs reveals no simultaneous editing before the end of May 2008. Thelegendofvix started editing on 29 June 2007; Preshuzz stopped editing on 18 June 2007, having started in February.
For bookkeeping purposes, the diffs of the alleged 3RR violation are:
- First revert (This added material which was then removed; Stannered's edit summary was "re-adding deleted hearsay and POV is not a 'minor edit'")
- Second revert
- Third revert
- Fourth revert
- Revert by Preshuzz
If checkuser links these accounts, then Thelegendofvix has some explaining to do. Shalom (Hello • Peace) 03:52, 3 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
