  • Code letter: E
  • Supporting evidence:

Ralph Nader (October 17, 2007)

3RR evasion using sock puppet:

Ralph Nader August 27-28, 2007

as 71.139.7.89 extensive edit warring using sock puppets

Ralph Nader's Presidential Campaigns

Ralph Nader October 2007

  • by Griot Griot reverts in material he has been edit warring over for the last year.

November 2007

  • by Astruc through
  • by Astruc Griot as Astruc edit wars the same material dozens of times in one day resulting again in page protection.


User Griot was recently found to be using a sock puppet ( Sedlam) to edit war on Ralph Nader related articles. He was blocked indefinitely, but it was reset to one week with the explanation "an indef seemed disproportionate given the offence and your editing history prior to this incident." This Checkuser Request is to establish that Griot has been edit warring on the above noted articles for a very long time. The examples listed above are from from a complete list of all the insyances of sock puppetry by this user. Boodlesthecat (talk) 21:50, 10 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Additional evidence

Griot claims authorship of the article Eric Nord. A look at the history of that article shows it to have been begun by IP 71.139.53.242, which like the above IP's used by Griot, is in a range of AT&T Internet Services in San Francisco. Boodlesthecat (talk) 18:06, 11 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]



 Additional information needed—per Code Letter E, links to four or more diffs showing the 3RR violations of the sock puppet accounts. Alternatively, select an alternative code letter (and provide the required material, if applicable). Cheers, AGK (talk) 22:10, 10 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

One example of likely sock puppetry

one two three four five

then begins extended rapidfire disruptive extended strafing as Sedlam: [1] through [2]

Then jumps back in as Griot for more disruptive editing.


Griot has been a vociferous and disruptive editor on Ralph Nader related articles, intransigently pushing his POV with the help of likely sock puppets Sedlam and Feedler. Boodlesthecat (talk) 03:53, 8 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
