Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Appeal of VeryVerily/Evidence
Statement by DTC 20:01, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
The result of a checkuser request on Lopez was inconclusive, but this should not be surprising, considering the ramifications of a positive verification combined with editing from a dynamic IP. Lopez is suspected to have edited using many accounts, and here is some of the evidence I brought forth in both his recent RfArb as well as the check user request.
User has been accused of using multiple sockpuppets to abuse other editors, and wage endless RV wars on other articles. Probable sockpuppets include User:HectorRodriguez, User:Lancemurdoch, User:Richardchilton, User:Hanpuk, user:Timoteo III and User:Halifax. User is currently involved in RfArb against multiple users, and prior acts of sockpuppets could support an unacceptable pattern of behavior.
- Lopez’s thoughts on who owns and runs Wikipedia are very similar to those of User:Lancemurdoch, and User:Richardchilton
- Lopez: '"who runs Wikipedia? The answer is the millionaire Ayn Rand devotee Jimbo Wales, and to a lesser extent his various lieutenants".
- Lancemurdoch:"Or perhaps Wikipedia is owned and controlled by a wealthy capitalist, Jimbo, and he and his little cabal see Mr. Poor as their brethren and invited him into ranks"
- Richardchilton "I should note that Jimbo, who controls Wikipedia's capital of servers, is a fan of the far right Ayn Rand. The right-wingers base what they want to do on authority - the authority of adminships, where they can ban users and so forth and so on."
It is my opinion that this evidence as well as all the results from the checkuser request make it very likely that Lopez has edited under all of these names an most likely all the names has been accused of using a sockpuppets. To reply to Lopez's claim that the Checkuser request cleared him, it did not such thing; editing with a dynamic IP means that Checkuser can neither confirm nor deny if users are the same Ten Dead Chickens 14:45, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
