It's sad that Don Murphy got the name completely wrong and decided to ruin this completely innocent person's day by ringing them up. It clearly upset them.
I did a bit of my own research and have found what User:Erik's real name is more likely to be. How they came up with Erik Kraft, I don't know.
The evidence points to the person not being completely innocent at all. Per my comment here
http://wikipediareview.com/index.php?s=&sh...ndpost&p=232876Why would 'User Erik' remove from his user page the information about his university at exactly the time Erik Kraft was phoned by Murphy?
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=...oldid=358006391You will object that Erik Kraft immediately got in touch with User:Erik to tell him to remove it. But if Erik Kraft knew nothing about user:Erik, how was that? All the evidence points to Mr Kraft as being entirely guilty.
And now user:Erik has a sock:

Oh man Erik, I really appreciate it. This has been such a bizarre and scary episode, but it's good to know that the decent people here seem to far outnumber the trolls. It's truly unbelievable to go through this guy's message board and see how he sics his anonymous thugs on people for the slightest perceived offenses. Erik.kraft (talk) 19:09, 24 April 2010 (UTC)
I'm grateful to you for doing this--and I've gone ahead and created a wikipedia account (erik.kraft) so that it doesn't seem like I'm trying to hide behind anonymity. Which is clearly not possible anyway. Feel free to refer to me as erik.kraft going forward. I'll be following the ANI page and will post further details as I have them. And I even just learned to sign my posts: --> Erik.kraft (talk) 19:06, 24 April 2010 (UTC)

[edit] Even more laughs

::It's not that funny to be outed, guys... in any case, I will be working on his article. If someone like Tarc does not see Murphy's notability in his article, then the producer has successfully exerted control over it. First off, I removed his website, which is an attack site. To re-cite his background, I found [http://www.nydailynews.com/ny_local/queens/2009/10/20/2009-10-20_producer_transforms.html this], which further solidifies Murphy's notability. I am not sure if I will be further harassed, so I hope admins will keep an eye on the article as I bring my expertise to it.

+ ::: Erik, this is Erik Kraft. Can you explain what you mean by "outed"? Because as far as I can tell it was me who was "outed" and you are still anonymous. You used the same language on your now-deleted Talk page and this was part of the reason why Don was convinced I was you. I feel like I'm through the looking glass here.

Talking to himself. (Note the time difference. He gets called by Murphy, and complains as User:Erik that he has been outed. Then he complains, as the Erik Kraft, that he has been outed. Then the penny drops.)
