Evidence

Tendencies in Auno3's edits:

Interest in Marvin Heemeyer. Apparently views him as a "hero"[1][2]. Repeatedly tried to insert weasel words into article reflecting his point of view[3][4][5]
Talk page blanking [6][7][8]
Various race-related:
- Blatant vandalism to Heidi Klum [9][10]
- Interest in Dysgenics. Has repeatedly inserted a controversial bullet point in Societal collapse that claims miscegenation will lead to global collapse[11]. Has tried to insert similar info in other articles such as Human [12] and Human evolution [13].
- Interest in the Jessie Davis case[14][15][16] He repeatedly tried to insert a picture of Bobby Cutts in Miscegenation [17]. He also inserted a picture of Bobby Cutts in Black people [18]

Joined on Sep. 6, when Auno3 was on block. Immediately began the usual racist/dysgenics-related edits[62]. Note the similarity in name to confirmed sock P.W.Lutherson.

From Will Beback

I was asked to intervene in this case previously. I identified P.W.Lutherson (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) as a sock of Auno3 and blocked the account. On further investigation I identified these IP accounts as likely instances of the same editor:

This user has, as JScott06 has described, clear editing style and interests. ·:· Will Beback ·:· 17:00, 15 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'd also note the numerous complaints and warnings on the IP talk pages. If these ahd been accumulated on a single account it most likely would have been blocked for increasingly long periods. ·:· Will Beback ·:· 04:21, 16 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Other recurring topics of interest include:

Vending machine and related articles
Resident Evil 4 and related articles

These show up frequently in the edits of the IPs. ·:· Will Beback ·:· 17:45, 17 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

I initiated the first sockpuppet allegation about User:Auno3 and User:P.W.Lutherson, and the two of us have had edit conflicts in the past. While I agree that the editors listed here seem to have similar ~~obsessions~~ interests, the use of the phrase "nigger lover" and "race traitor" to describe Heidi Klum is much stronger than anything User:Auno3 has written. Also, the suggestion by one IP editor that Jessie Davis "got what she deserved for being a nigger lover" seems inconsistent with User:Auno3's expressed attitude toward her. Perhaps the anonymity of an IP address emboldened User:Auno3. On other subjects, however, the edits seem almost identical to User:Auno3's. — Malik Shabazz (Talk | contribs) 23:14, 15 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Am I God? You've sure made it seem that way. If I am able to make that many edits with that many accounts, I must be editing 24/7 every day and spending such effort to conceal myself behind a network of accounts that I might just get a call from the local hackers Inc. Or perhaps all of you must realize that many Americans share my views, and that I am only part of the silent majority who prefers not to take drastic action such as burning American flags, say Bush is a terrorist, or even more absurdly that 9-11 was planned. Even more unaccepted among most Americans is that miscegenation is a natural phenemenon. The actual record shows that miscegenation, white guilt, and lies against America has been forcibly drilled into the minds of most Americans starting in Public school, making it trendy among the liberalist elements of society. So far, members of this vastest sector of Americans has been banned from this site due to their legitimate views. What is non-POV is mainstream America, and a minuscule part of this mainstream America runs in my red, white, and blue veins. What has happened on this site, and what is still happening to this site, is the allowing of the most leftist views to run rampant and infest the minds of many of our nation's children.

Auno3 has in fact used the term "race traitor". And although "nigger lover" may sound harsh, the editor who used it still has the similar San Francisco IP and virtually identical edits to Marvin Heemeyer[63][64]. All of the IP's edits were made on one day. JScott06 23:52, 17 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Conclusions

There's clear evidence here that Auno3 has used sockpuppets to evade his 48 hour block of September 5. Since this activity is relatively stale I have blocked Auno3 for a period of 1 hour; if the activity had been more current I would have blocked for 72 hours. As an aside, any user who inserts phrases like "race traitor" into a BLP is having a problem understanding what Wikipedia's about, and I'm surprised that Auno3 has so few blocks on his record. --Akhilleus (talk) 16:53, 22 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
