He used the nick "AlienLifeForm" on freenode, if that helps. I believe I spoke with him once or twice circa late 2006.

I looked at it, and saw nothing about Wiki alf.

However.... it http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/3RRArchive111#User:Wiki_alf_and_IP_sockpuppets_reported_by_User:Keepcalmandcarryon_.28Result:_.29 with an argument that seems quite lame to me.
Ah, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Wiki_alf/Archive....archived already. Why??
