Suspected sock puppets


Report submission by
Evidence

Weissmann is a single purpose account who works only on articles related to Balve (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views), and Festspiele Balver Höhle (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views). He tends to upload images without proper copyright info, and creates numerous articles (deleted contribs - admin only) on non-notable subjects. When confronted he shows little understanding of the issues. See User_talk:Weissmann for the evidence of this.

He has been indefinitely blocked on de.wiki [2]], on Commons [3], and apparently a checkuser there confirmed the links between these accounts.

Here he has begun using these accounts to edit the same articles - [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], which shows that there is an intent to avoid scrutiny and show consensus where there is none.

There is a list [10] on de.wiki of sockpuppets there, and on Commons [11] a list of related blocks.

I'm just looking for a sanity check before I block the socks and decide what to do with the main account.

Comments
  • I support the Check-User request because Weissmann is one of the worse trolls and POV pushers we have got (here and on de/commons). I am also the sysop who banned him from commons. His main account should be banned as well. Regards, abf /talk to me/ 13:13, 29 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I have blocked all the accounts indefinitely, and the master account for 2 months. He's not been blocked here before, so I guess a last chance is in order. Kevin (talk) 02:15, 30 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]


Conclusions

All blocked, then. SQLQuery me! 19:24, 31 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
