Just a hunch... I think that SV may be using this account to edit.

Yep... the more I look at the fixation on LaRouche, the blitzkrieg editing style, plus the more I apply my Finely Honed Linguistic Analytic Skillsâ„¢, the more convinced I am.

It seems to me the worst blow suffered by prominent users reduced to using SPAs is the loss of social networking clout. The best way to mess with them is to engage them in a confrontational manner or to outright drag them into contentious processes. It should be interesting to see who comes to their aid.

Are they living in Canada in a similar way?äó? And can we prove that they have or haven't edited at the same time (either being proof of identity)?

Probably not very many, if she's using an account created less than a month ago. Maybe if she had been better prepared she could've had more accounts with actual identities.

Why is this not a CBerlet sockpuppet rather than SV? That would seem as plausible?

That one was clearly easy to spot if you are looking at the right articles. I wonder why SV seems to have an obsession with water?

You can see SV language in the edit summaries.

I don't think it's SV. Unless she's decided to start using the word "tidying" to divert people who have cunning linguistic skilz.

I wonder where Virgin's "Candi" went....
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=...v&oldid=7358780

...after all, Candi became Sarah...who really was [redacted LOL]....I'm sure she'd never resort to, ahem, deception or diversions. That Sweet Blue Water thing must have been a figment of Cyde's imagination, right? Cyde must have been just being mean, trying to "attack" SV, who is innocent. Of everything.

Nope. Here are several dead-giveaways:

1. An edit summary where she says "we don't need this in the intro" -- speaking in the royal "we" is a SV trademark.

2. Blanking her user talk page with edit summary "blanked page" -- Cberlet would be more verbose and melodramatic

3. She's especially fixated on Jeremiah Duggan, Ken Kronberg, and the Schiller Institute -- Berlet has other fixations at the moment.

Let's say it is. Isn't editing "sockpuppet" template placements on other's user pages something for only admins to do? shouldn't such things be done under an admins' primary username, and not a sockpuppet?

Even an approved sockpuppet should not be doing admin things.

Chip's verbosity is only surpassed by the size of his ego, I doubt that he could hide his nature in for any longer than one revert.

Bingo!

SS=SV

And she's using a sockpuppet to do admin stuff (sock template editing on userpages).

Not good, SV, not good.

PS: I picture SV to be a Kate Bushian. Once added in a "cloudbusting" phrase into an applicable BLP. Right age, right 80's demographic. Drama Queen.

SV's still running up that wikihill....

Sock templates isn't an admin only job, and never has been.

You're right. A tell tale sign for the future is this kind of thing on a talk page : "Please don't obscure this issue...", "Please don't try and change this...", "Please don't pretend that...", "Please don't try to hide your..." . Placing some intention on another editor from her own imagination. Funnily enough, Jayjg used to do that as well.

Makes sense. Throwing around sockpuppet accusations without any proof is the right of all WP'ians, not just those who could actually prove it, lol.

In case there are any remaining skeptics, Sunsplash is also tinkering with the LaRouche template, which is OWNed in perpetuity by SlimVirgin.

Can anyone explain to me why she is obsessed with water? Is there some connection to that Javanese mythological mumbo jimbo?
