Evidence

Please see WP:Requests for comment/75.47.x.x which was opened on the anonymous user edits.

Continual bad faith edits, as well as good ones on various Wikipedia:WikiProject U.S. Roads and cartoon related articles. Admin User:Geniac was the one who connected the anonymous IP with the puppeteer. -- KelleyCook (talk) 22:21, 22 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

Splat5572 has already admitted that he is Dabby (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · page moves · block user · block log)[1], who admitted he was AL2TB (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · page moves · block user · block log)[2]. So AL2TB is Dabby and Splat. However, it was shown that was also shown that it was likely that AL2TB was also Artisol2345 at Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/Artisol2345. Establishing that the Artisol2345/AL2TB sock family is also 75.47 would be a major finding, if it is true. To me, it somehow doesn't seem as if they are linked, though. I am contacting User:Rschen7754 about this case, as he edits the California roads articles and has dealt with these users more frequently. —Scott5114 ↗ [EXACT CHANGE ONLY] 05:26, 23 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't originally connect 75.47.x.x with Artisol234; I read a discussion about the similarity on a talk page, I can't remember where, about a month ago. --Geniac (talk) 14:43, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Can we do a RFCU on this thing? --Rschen7754 (T C) 22:56, 28 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I beleive Artisol2345 and AL2TB is not a sock though both of them live in Orange County, CA. AL2TB and Dabby both have black tag on user page both talk and userpage protect. They no longer log in with account. Those guys seems to have be much civil than 75.47 though.--Freewayguy ^{Call? Fish} 14:58, 23 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
This is very plausible - Arisol and 75.47 and AL2TB all have similar editing patterns. --Rschen7754 (T C) 16:53, 23 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well AL2TB and Artisol2345 have similar IP. The thing is Artisol2345 left loong time prior to the time AL2TB came in. They both have satisfactory level of Civility, and they don't ever have fly off handle behavior like 75.47 does. 75.47 have post false blocking message on my talkpage, and call me names in past like "Dickhead".Alot of times 75.47 lack civility and use many cuss language to communicate. 75.47 gets strongly upset when he disagrees with others opinions, and just perform 5RRs in like 10 minute time, alot of times he does not provide summary. When we blockl one of 75.47s he change his IP to escape from his block. Its better to block all of 75.47's IP range so he cannot escape block.--Freewayguy ^{Call? Fish} 17:46, 23 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Do you have any answers? 75.47 was upset just because he believe I accuse him of sock of Artisol. I couldn't tell if Artisol, ALT2B, Splat5572 may have similar writing patterns, its tough to tell. I won't say its certainly a sockpuppet, I don't want users to be upset at me.--Freewayguy ^{Call? Fish} 01:07, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

8And when 75,47 even made those changes by just talking about it, people automatically know its sockpuppet. Aristol once have it on userpage to warn people especially bad faith comments against Rschen7754 about accusing of sockpuppets. This also makes it very obvious of socks.--Freewayguy ^{Call?

Conclusions

Splat5572 is probably not 75.47: [3] --NE2 03:39, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, NE2 (and Thatcher as well, naturally).—Scott5114 ↗ [EXACT CHANGE ONLY] 10:21, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Of course, this confirms nothing only. His edit habits, style and responses have been the same as 75.47.* (which are also from the same area as the cox communication IP). -- KelleyCook (talk) 02:28, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Figures that two people in California would edit about California. I've put up with them for a while, and they seem different, though that shouldn't be taken as definite. --NE2 20:06, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
