• Code letter: F

• Supporting evidence: This case revolves around a persistent POV-pusher and disruptive editor problem on Chiropractic and related pages and talk pages.

CorticoSpinal (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · page moves · block user · block log · rfcu) was indefinitely blocked by several admins ( block log ) and given several chances to reform, despite which he kept making disruptive contributions and was permanently blocked May 31.

User:Fyslee has been tracking this case and believes that it's the continuation of an older one involving (see Category:Suspected Wikipedia sockpuppets of CorticoSpinal including previously indef'ed Marcbronson (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · page moves · block user · block log), EBDCM (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · page moves · block user · block log · rfcu), and briefly used account ShirleyTO (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · page moves · block user · block log)

User:QuackGuru believes that newer account Soyuz113 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · page moves · block user · block log) is part of this.

Given the duck test apparent connections in edit style and ongoing abuse, including multiple indef'ed apparent sockpuppets, a CU check appears warranted. Georgewilliamherbert (talk) 22:20, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

I would like to clarify a few points. I don't recall that User:Marcbronson or his next username User:EBDCM were ever blocked. They created alot of problems and CorticoSpinal simply abandoned them one after the other. During this time he edited from several IPs and often forgot to log in.

It is under his User:CorticoSpinal username that he got indef blocked three times. That's quite the accomplishment! He then used the following to evade blocks:

• ShirleyTO (talk⁺ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log · CA · CheckUser(log) · investigate · cuwiki)
• 64.25.184.27 (talk⁺ · tag · contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RBLs · proxy check · block user · block log · cross-wiki contribs · CheckUser (log))
• 99.229.74.64 (talk⁺ · tag · contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RBLs · proxy check · block user · block log · cross-wiki contribs · CheckUser (log))
• Soyuz113 (talk⁺ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log · CA · CheckUser(log) · investigate · cuwiki)
• 208.101.118.33 (talk⁺ · tag · contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RBLs · proxy check · block user · block log · cross-wiki contribs · CheckUser (log))

Regarding 208.101.118.33:

CorticoSpinal often edited under IPs and forgot to sign in:

• Here he signs one of his IP edits
• Here he forgot to sign in while evading a block using the same IP.

He had no doubt been editing as User:Soyuz113 for some time, but here he blew his cover as User:Soyuz113 (confirmed by AGK). Soyuz113 has never denied being CorticoSpinal, but has chosen to remain quiet, even though given the opportunity to privately explain himself. Read this version of his talk page.

I think that is pretty accurate and hope this straightens things out. -- Fyslee / talk 05:46, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

Another interesting case is found at Wikipedia:Requests_for_checkuser/Case/Corticopia. While the similarity in usernames isn't conclusive evidence, and there don't seem to be any overlaps in articles or subject matter, block evading socks often edit in different areas and there are similarities as regards edit warring, verbal abuse of opposing editors, and location. Together this seems more than a coincidental collection of similarities. Here are the links to check:

• Corticopia (talk⁺ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log · CA · CheckUser(log) · investigate · cuwiki)
• Depoyster.dick (talk⁺ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log · CA · CheckUser(log) · investigate · cuwiki)
• 69.158.144.110 (talk⁺ · tag · contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RBLs · proxy check · block user · block log · cross-wiki contribs · CheckUser (log))
• 216.234.60.106 (talk⁺ · tag · contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RBLs · proxy check · block user · block log · cross-wiki contribs · CheckUser (log))

User:216.234.60.106 made a removal from User:Corticopia's talk page, which is a failure to log in, very typical of CorticoSpinal.

That CU case needs to be reviewed, instead of summarily dismissed, and if there is a connection, these cases need to be merged and this should be added to the evidence against the person behind all of this. -- Fyslee / talk 14:20, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

Soyuz113 and associated IP blocked. I have anon-blocked the IP at the top of this report and indefinitely blocked Soyuz113. This is a fairly clear case of block evasion and sockpuppetry. Any further incidents should result in a community ban proposal. User blocked and notified.[1] Vassyana (talk) 19:40, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

•  Clerk assistance requested: Send most of this to the talk page, please. Thatcher 01:17, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
•  Clerk note:  Done Tiptoety ^talk 05:54, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
•  Inconclusive The accounts are too old for comparison, except for Soyuz113 who is similar to some of the listed IP addresses. It looks like Soyuz113 is blocked on behavioral similarities, which seems reasonable. Thatcher 01:17, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
