- Evidence
As it can be found in Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/SqueakBox and Zapatancas, SqueakBox was banned from editing the Wikipedia for a month, starting in June 4, and articles related to José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero. I suspect User:Skanking could be SqueakBox because:
- In July 13, 2006 this user had an attitude strangely similar to that of SqueakBox and favourable to him. Here [1] he reverts a notice that informs that SqueakBox is under personal attacks parole. He claims he's "reverting a troll" in the edit summary. Surprisingly, SqueakBox had done the same minutes before [2] posting the insult "vandal troll" in the edit summary. Later he edits my talk page [3] repeating the same comment that SqueakBox "leave SqueakBox's user page alone". Later, he edits the Zapatero article talk page [4], posting that I will blocked as a vandal. This [5] message by SqueakBox threatening me with taking me to the ArbCom shows the same assumption of bad faith and is expressed in similar terms . Why User:Skanking became so interested in the article Zapatero? He was simply a user who had accessed SqueakBox's page by chance, wasn't he?. Here [6] he goes to the Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Arbitration enforcement. He claimed I was a vandal, but I have never had any contact with the ArbCom. Why he posted that message there? Curiously enough, SqueakBox had recently edited that page [7]. Later, he changed the title of a section in the talk page of Zapatero [8] so it defined as vandalism an edit made by mine in good faith, and that even though I'd posted this explanation in that talk page [9]. SqueakBox had done just that some minutes before [10]. He goes to the article José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero and recovers an old version by SqueakBox that contains errors introduced on purpose such as the surname "Armendaris" instead of "Armendáriz". To explain all these casualities he posted this message [11]. He claims that SqueakBox's user page became a watch for him after he posted a welcome message in his talk page (?).
- Spanking became active when SqueakBox was blocked in June 4 (see [12]). It was created on April 29, when the arbitration case had already been opened (that happened on April 13). But he became very active on June 4, when SqueakBox was blocked. He looks very interested in Cannabis ([13]), Haile Selassie ([14]), and Honduras in general ([15], [16]). User:SqueakBox mentions in his user page that he lives in Honduras, includes a cite by Haile Selasie ("Until the colour of the skin is of no more significance than the colour of the eyes there will never be peace") and SqueakBox claims to be pro-cannabis in a userbox.
- There're similarities between Spanking and SqueakBox user pages. Both claim in their user boxes to have a es-5 leve of Spanish, English native speakers, that they are not drinkers and that they are owned by one or more cats. Both claim to live in Central America.
It the suspicion of sock pupettry is confirmed it would mean that SqueakBox has not respected neither his one month ban nor his one year ban on Zapatero's related articles. Hagiographer 11:51, 18 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
After this evidence was posted, User:SqueakBox deleted the mandatory notice from Skanking's user page ([17]) and redirected this page to his user page in order to hide it ([18]) Hagiographer 10:00, 19 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
