John Nevard (and to some extent, Janeyryan), Sockpuppets or wannabe cabalists? Options

[tarantino]

Nevard first appeared during Jayjg's absence and created his user page with the summary "I have another account- however, I'm not going to edit under my real name with a bunch of terrorists running around." He originally edited New Zeland-related articles and once "accidentally" edited from a dynamic NZ IP address.

His interests have since expanded to include animal rights, Overstock, LaRouche, PIR, the Brown Dog Affair, the Middle East, Patrick Haseldine‎ and many other pages frequented by the axis of weasels.

I suppose a third possibility is he's a double agent attempting to infiltrate their fortress.

[jorge]

Weird edit here.

[guy]

Weird edit here.

So he's interested in Canadian articles?

[jorge]

I suppose a third possibility is he's a double agent attempting to infiltrate their fortress.

Looking through the edits I doubt that. He seems to have an interest in the military/weapons and takes a general right wing stand on issues, i.e. anti animal rights, hostile to muslims and apparently thinks the Guardian is almost always distorting the truth ..

EDIT: Possibly interesting edit here where he mentions the Mohammad painting in a discussion with Will Beback about the photo on the Lyndon LaRouche article in Nov 2007.

Ah, yes, I hadn't looked at many of his contribs very closely. His edits on the subjects relating to Brandt* and Overstock wouldn't much bother the cabal, but on several other articles he's knocking heads with them.

Lese majeste! Heresy!

the Guardian is almost always distorting the truth

Only on subjects it has views about.

A recent look at Nevard's user page indicates that he is puppy-dog-eager to rack up a few Cabal Points. He makes the obligatory plea for more attacks on Patrick Byrne and Daniel Brandt, before appealing to the BADSITErs by denouncing the WR and reminding the reader of his affinity for Virginia Slim. It would be very interesting to learn what his other username is.

[Herschelkrustofsky]

I am toying with the hypothesis that Nevard could be the second coming of Adam Carr. He spells "labor' with a u and edits a lot of Australia/New Zealand-related articles, in addition to being all over the pedophilia disputes. He does seem more circumspect than Adam about flouting the rules, but that could just be Adam after learning a few hard lessons.

I've been meaning to complement you on this particularly elegant formulation. I hope it becomes part of the standard lexicon.

Nevard isn't Adam Carr. Nevard is in New Zealand for one thing. And pretty much everyone spells Labour with a "u" - with the exception of those in the United States.

Axis of Weasels goes back to 2003 when France, Germany and Russia openly opposed the invasion of Iraq.

[Piperdown]

Patrick Byrne on Nevard, again. Hilarious.

Mr. Nevard weirdly dismisses an attempt to get the page on me to report my position accurately by saying, "This article isn't here to promote your conspiracy theories", apparently hoping the reader will take it as received truth that what I believe is a conspiracy theory. Now I point at the current issue of Vanity Fair precisely echoes my claims, and Nevard dismisses those as more conspiracy theories. So, if I have him right, the page on me is not supposed to report what I believe because it is a conspiracy theory, and the fact that Vanity Fair now takes precisely the same position is something that should not be mentioned because it is a conspiracy theory, etc. etc. As far as I can tell, Mr. Nevard is using the term "conspiracy theory" to mean precisely and only "Something with which I, John Nevard, disagree." The upshot of this is, if a person holds a position with which John Nevard disagrees that position is not allowed to be stated, not even on the page about that person, because it must be a "conspiracy theory". And if a major publication comes out and reports the same thing then that must not be mentioned either, because it must be a "conspiracy theory", because John Nevard disagrees with it. Did I miss anything? Note that by that logic, if John Nevard disagrees with quantum mechanics, then mustn't the page on Niels Bohr refrain from describing quantum mechanics, because it is a "conspiracy theory"?

This is a standard technique at Wikipedia. It helps to explain why the Cabal is anxious to protect the activities of the Chipster and the MONGOloids -- they help to generate an environment of paranoia, where everyone is in a constant state of alarm of over the vast conspiracy of conspiracy theorists.

[Herschelkrustofsky]

I note that a "How's it going, Gary" message, left on the talk page of Sockpuppet Janeyryan, has been indignantly removed by sockpuppet John Nevard.

[One]

Who is John Nevard a sock of?

Gotta agree with Kohs here. Banning all shorts is insane. They just needed to level the field by prohibiting naked shorts. As it was, hedge funds had a free short card without much oversight, while everyone else actually had to borrow shares. That was a recipe for disaster, but this is a recipe for another disaster.

This opinion piece by a smug free market Canadian (WTF?) puts it well.

[CharlotteWebb]

Classic. This is either a Mantanmoreland sock or a great impersonator trying to rack up fake MM socks to get him even more deeply banned.

Whoever it is they have a surprisingly clean block log considering their very odd areas of interest.

Could be negligence or conspiracy, neither would surprise me.

[Rootology]

I asked nicely. It could just be a clean alternate account, but I think those are banned on the NSS stuff...

Rootology, I like your article space research, but you're not going to find anything that way. He's a new account. That's his story, he's sticking to it:

[to admin Risker, drawing his attention to the fact that all socks are banned from NSS]
Double negative time: I meant to say 'no' to 'not' meaning that this is my primary and only account, now and ever since the dawn of Time.--Janeyryan (talk) 18:05, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

[to admin Cool Hand Luke yelling at him for reinserting Mantanmoreland's prose]
I've affirmed that I am not a returning user on at least one occasion, and your request presupposes that. But that is not the case. I have no idea what material I am reinserting or who has been banned from what. What I reinserted had been in the article for quite a bit of time, apparently. --Janeyryan (talk) 12:53, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

He's exclusively interested in these topics:
1. Naked short selling
2. LaRouche
3. Wikipedia Review

According to him, He has never had an account on Wikipedia before. Who believes him? You don't? AGF!

We discussed him before. It was though that John Navard was a good fit, but I said the timezones didn't fit. now that Navard has returned, it's most clear they are not on the same sleeping schedule. I think it's Manny.

Janey may be affirming that there was at least one occasion in which she was not a "returned user".

That's always good to know.

Nevard is interesting. He admits to being an alternate account of somebody (Oct 21, 2007), but says he's not saying who, due to "terrorists running around."

Hmmm. His interests are Judaica and antisemitism (which all gives him a decent Kabal score of 14, about like Berlet's), but if you look at "his" interests WRT each of the Kabal, it's clear that he shares by far the most with SlimVirgin. Brown Dog affair, Keith Mann. The whole bit. There's a LOT of environmental and animal rights extremism. In fact, they've edited 103 mainspace articles together (more than Slim and Crum have!), but have only interacted on article TALK pages 21 times, which is an unusually low number for editors with the same interests.

They've both posted to these two odd user pages (the user, not the user:talk):
#1 User:SirFozzie/Investigation/Sandbox - edited by 2 of 2 users
#2 User:Mantanmoreland - edited by 2 of 2 users

They've posted to 20 user:talks, and 10 Wikipedia project pages.

Here's the project space talk:
#1 Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Military_history - edited by 2 of 2 users
#2 Wikipedia_talk:Requests_for_adminship/Gracenotes - edited by 2 of 2 users
#3 Wikipedia_talk:No_original_research - edited by 2 of 2 users

Odd, also. Military history? Cla68? RfA for Gracenotes? Wups!

The total is 159 articles total.

I'll post the main articles to give you a feel, at the end.

That said, there are odd correlations between Nevard and Cberlet, who've edited 26 articles together. And finally, they all share a lot of article with banned sockpuppet team Arkalochori and Zurishaddai, who both, when added to any of these people, make the common article counts go up shockingly.

Anyway, here's the Nevard/SV list. Reads like a SV/Jayjg hitlist, except Nevard has edited with SlimVirgin even more than Jayjg has. Go figure. I smell socks. And if they both messed with Gracenotes, dirty socks.

In that blighted RfA, you can grin as SlimVirgin and Mantanmoreland lecture Gracenotes about empathy and morality (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/smile.gif)

The admins of that site [this is WR, I think] have been sent two takedown notices and yet the material in question remains on it, so it's clearly not against their rules. SlimVirgin (talk) 00:30, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

75.144.57.73 (talk · contribs) recently wrote that "The admins of that site have offered, in public, to remove any material that you warrant is both malicious and false." I will make no claims as to the validity of that statement, and only indicate that it was made. GracenotesT § 16:38, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

I repeat that I have sent them two takedown notices, and yet the material in question remains on the site, and it now seems I'm going to have to proceed legally, with all the time, money, and effort that entails. How utterly bizarre that you'd repeat the opinion of an anon IP and an attack site when I've already told you what I've done. There, in a nutshell, is why I oppose your promotion. SlimVirgin (talk) 18:45, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for your clarification about the comment. GracenotesT § 18:53, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
What's your opinion of that site? --Mantanmoreland 16:41, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

It's a mixed bag. Some comments are constructive; others bitter. GracenotesT § 17:09, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

Is that all you have to say? I felt your position on this issue was cold and lacking in empathy, and your response confirms that belief.--Mantanmoreland 18:33, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

← Do you disagree with what I wrote? You asked me for my opinion on the site in general, not my opinion on the site in terms of privacy violations. GracenotesT § 18:59, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

What an amazingly evasive way of responding to a simple question. I am deeply concerned about your being promoted, now more so.--Mantanmoreland 19:10, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

But strangely, I do not see "John Nevard's" comments on this page, although the Python tool says they should be there, along with Slim's and Mantanmoreland's. Hmmm. One more mystery.

Anyway, here's the total mainspace Nevard/SlimVirgin list. Note topics. Enjoy. My off the cuff guess is Nevard is her.

My understanding was that Hipocrite asked for a name change to the Blu sock so he would be blocked indefinitely. A strange form of martyrdom, I guess.

Anyway, here's the total mainspace Nevard/SlimVirgin list. Note topics. Enjoy. My off the cuff guess is Nevard is her.

Interesting hypothesis. Nevard writes with a kind of flippant, wiseass style that contrasts with SV, but that may be calculated. There was talk, however, of the Nevard account geolocating to New Zealand -- is that based on evidence, or a claim by Nevard?

[One]

He has edited NZ topics and seems to have once used a NZ IP, although it might have been set up somehow. He also seems to run on normal NZ hours. That's not impossible for Slim to fake though because she edits at all times of the day and night with no discernible schedule. Presumably she could feign interests and avoid editing between 1400 and 2100 utc.

I had no idea about his interests in animal rights. I doubt he's her sock, but that's interesting.

I don't know about running on NZ hours. Nevard is presently on an extended editing binge, focussed on the LaRouche articles, that has SlimVirgin written all over it. Also, in the heat of all this editing, Nevard abandons the "youth lingo" and starts to sound more and more like the patented SlimVirgin edit rap. I now believe that both Nevard and JaneyRyan are SlimVirgin socks.

[Proabivouac]

I now believe that both Nevard and JaneyRyan are SlimVirgin socks.

I doubt that very much (not that this doubt is evidence.)

[The Adversary]

Why isn´t Adam Carr a candidate?
He kind of retired after this minor scandal.

(which isn´t mentioned in his biography, for some reason (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/wink.gif)

Both are/were very keen on editing la Rouche. (And can anyone imagine a more arrogant expression?)

And JaneyRyan is a wannabe. (or GW dumming down)

[Herschelkrustofsky]

And JaneyRyan is a wannabe. (or GW dumming down)

Adam Carr was discussed as a candidate at the John Nevard thread (I am proposing that these off-topic posts be moved to that thread.) However, Adam Carr, who edits under his own name, spends much of his time in a state of emotional meltdown, and is incapable of playing the WP:CIVIL game. SV, on the other hand, thrives on it, and enjoys wielding the stilleto with bogus civility. The Nevard and Janeyryan posts both use a breezily efficient bureaucratic tone which would be foreign to Adam Carr. I also note that the current Nevard editing binge corresponds in time to the conclusion of the SV/FM/Cla/JzG ArbCom case -- I suspect that Virginia Slim is letting off steam after all that. Many of Nevard's edits are non-controversial syntax housekeeping edits, the one thing that Slim does that is actually useful. Janeyryan is a specialty account that only edits the most sensitive topics that are close to Slim's heart, including Wikipedia Talk:Verifiability and Wikipedia Review.

[Herschelkrustofsky]

On September 27, 2007, SlimVirgin announced her retirement from Wikipedia. On that same day, she created the sock account "Sunsplash." The account did not commence editing until October 15 of that year, and was promptly detected and exposed here at the review. "Sunsplash" discontinued editing on October 17. However, on October 16, the day the exposure began here at the Review, the account "John Nevard" was created, with the comment, "I have another account- however, I'm not going to edit under my real name with a bunch of terrorists running around." This is circumstantial evidence, but hundreds of editors have been banned at Wikipedia for less.

Regarding Janeyryan, that account begins editing on July 10 of this year. The first edits are to the article "Wikipedia Review." My Exceptionally Well-Honed Linguistic Analytic Skillsâ„¢ suggest to me that both accounts are SV socks. Question: what was going on July 10 of this year?

[One]

I partially disagree. Janeyryan looks increasingly like Mantan. The account was created about six weeks after Bassettcat bit the dust, following the pattern of Bassettcat itself. His main interest is NSS; he's been in a lot of debates, but the NSS ones are the only ones that draw a reverting passion. He's also reverting to the stuff that previous Mannisox wrote. I think the other stuff is just intended to attract across-the-board sympathies of John Nevard. So far it's not working.

Interestingly, although NSS is a huge news topic for practically the first time ever, Nevard is currently uninterested in that page. Makes me wonder if Nevard was only haunted the topic to stick up for his buddy--this is consistent with the SV=JN hypothesis. Nevard is indeed on a Slim-style editing binge. However, the NZ IP makes me reluctant to accept that conclusion.

There is a clear pattern of Slim reacting to a setback by creating a new account (SlimVirgin -> Sunsplash -> John Nevard.) Having learned from the quick exposure of Sunsplash, she allowed plenty of time for John Nevard to "ripen."

If Janeyryan is not Slim, why the intense interest in Chip Berlet/Lyndon LaRouche?

Slim was Mantan's patron. Mantanmoreland is again trying to garner sympathy from Slim. He's done this before by editing Jewish topics, but this sock is supposed to look different.

Think about it: if Janeyryan is Slim, why would she continue carrying water for this banned peon? NSS is Mantanmoreland's and Janeyryan's passion, but there's no sane reason for Slim to keep the flame going.

I've gone back to the Who is Janeyryan? thread and reviewed the rather in-depth investigation there. Here's the WP checkuser page. If Janey is Gary Weiss, and is getting into Berlet and LaRouche just to suck up to Linda Mack, he's really doing a bang-up job, because this edit indicates in-depth knowledge and virtual adulation of Chip Berlet. On the other hand, if Janey is Gary, SV is returning the favor in this edit, watching over Janey's talk page and removing the bad person's suggestion that Janey is Gary.

The case of John Nevard, however, is pretty much closed in my book. He's SlimVirgin. They have 109 cross-correlated articles! And plus, from my experience in tangling with Slim at the LaRouche articles, I could pick her editing style at those articles out of a lineup any time. The Janey account is used sparingly, by whomever is using it, but the Nevard account is Slim's fully ripened sock, and on a rampage.

just imagine Linda's vicarious thrill from sparring, incognito, after all these years with old school chum Patrick on those electric NSS/Byrne BLP talk pages. The Nevard-Janey vs Byrne tension could be cut with a frozen french fry.

Just don't ask her for one of her french fries (chips!) with a mocking accent....

could it be a case of latent sexual tension boiling over in wikidrama, or just posh accent affected WikiGoth pseudoelite grudges vs the downhome, Jeep driving, eastwood poncho sporting cantbeboughtofforstopped siddhartha who's had enough of backroom darlings playing politics and sleight of hand shell games?

I mean, Shankbone's obvious unrequited man-love angst being taken out on the indifferent kohser just isn't enough drama for the day. I'm going to have that gay porn image, superimposed with a chihuahua looking on, in my head the rest of the day. Tanks for nuttin, W-R!

but then I always assume bad faith when it comes to wikipedia. and everyone else should too.

I don't think John Nevard is a sockpuppet. I can't prove it, but it doesn't seem right.

hersch has some compelling points though. No Varkalas though yet. Could easily be one of these "Emperor" losers on WR, or Poop On Your Toast psychos from WP that count W-R among their favourite forbidden pleasures (like most of W-R's fav subjects do).

Note the familiar anime on this version of the User:John Nevard page.

On closer examination, it is actually a link to something called {{User:SlimVirgin/usefullinks}}.
