Trincomanb

  • Code letter: Please do this checkuser on me and Trincomanb to stop what I perceive is continued harassment at me and user:Sudharsansn. I helped expose one of snowold4's friends (user:Lahiru_k) involved in massive vote-rigging and vandalism [1].

This has continued even today on other NCSLC wikiproject members [2]

User user:snowolfd4 who was under investigation from before, has made some dubious claims that I am a sockpuppet of user:Trincomanb and that I have been engaged in voting fraud (please see this case [3]). I just want to be cleared from this nonsense. Elalan 17:53, 25 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I see this more as a kind of vendetta than anything else. Elalan points out Snowolf and Lahiru and they frame up something against Elalan and vandalize my pages with sockpuppets of Lahiru!! Eitherway, the procedure should confirm things. Sudharsansn (talk • contribs) 18:10, 25 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

no Declined. There is a major problem with using checkuser to try and clear yourself: Nobody will believe the result. In every case I can remember where this has been attempted, the following happens:

  • We run the checkuser and say "Technical evidence cannot connect the two users."
  • The user that was accused immediately brandishes it as undisputed proof that he/she is innocent.
  • Everyone else immediately brandishes it as undisputed proof that not only was the user guilty of sockpuppetry, but was using open proxies and other means to avoid detection.
  • The user finds that far from having been vindicated, he/she is now even worse off than he/she was to begin with.

So, the moral of the story is, having a checkuser run on yourself to "prove you are innocent" doesn't work, and that's why we don't do it. Essjay (Talk) 00:44, 26 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]


Does it mean that the tag on his page is simply going to stay inspite of all his contributions to Wikipedia? This is unfair. Can someone please confirm how this procedure could be done and also how to get that tag out of his page. I am concerned because he has contributed a lot to WP:NCSLC and several other Sri Lanka related pages and I personally think that he should be given a fair chance to prove himself like all other editors in Wikipedia. Kindly help. Thanks Sudharsansn (talk • contribs) 14:21, 26 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
