- Evidence
The fact that Adnanmuf (talk · contribs) and 75.72.88.121 (talk · contribs) are socks should be obvious simply by the fact they're reverted to the same version. 75.72.88.121 has been blocked for POV pushing before.
However, I was alerted to this possibility when 71.247.224.162 (talk · contribs) came along and reverted to the version soon after the block, and came along and showed his cards with this post to ANI; Wikzilla has a history of coming and advocating for himself. User:71.247.230.96 later did likewise
Additionally, he has used IPs on the same line before, although this is obviously a very large ISP. See WHOIS data on User talk:76.97.254.32 for the first IP above, and Category:Wikipedia sockpuppets of Wikzilla for the second one.
- Comments
Not to be rude but due to circumstances I have had several encounters with Wkizilla, and this just does not seem like his style of editing nor does he seem to have edited the same pages WZ normally does. In my opinion this is not a Wikizilla sock but someone else.Freepsbane (talk) 16:53, 20 February 2008 (UTC) Then again it seems you may be right who knows.Freepsbane (talk) 17:14, 20 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- In either case, the first user is sockpuppeting a lot, and even if it isn't Wikzilla, then he ought to be blocked. The Evil Spartan (talk) 08:59, 22 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Conclusions
Adnanmuf was blocked for one year on 26 Feb by another admin. Page already tagged too. — Rlevse • Talk • 15:35, 1 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
