Who is Cbrick77 (aka "Chris)?, Newbie joins the planning committee for Cirt/Jayen carnival Options

[Jagärdu]

Who is Cbrick77 (aka "Chris") and why is this newbie so interested in creating workshop proposals at the arbitration case between Cirt and Jayen? It certainly has Jayen perplexed and I can't imagine anyone is convinced by the protestations that this is his first account. So who the hell is he? A returned former admin or Arb who left the project with his tails between his legs? Another manifestation of ChrisO -- which would be funny for a number of reasons. Imagine ChrisO thinking to himself that signing his name "Chris" is like hiding in plain sight and therefore a wonderful disguise. I know there are people here who want to play this guessing game so let's hear it.

Hmmmmm.....

So making a reverting vandalism edit at the Harlem Renaissance article is his call sign?

Yes, it is.


(updating as I go through the puppets.)

OK so who wants to bet on how long it will take the nitwits to figure it out? I say Cbrick is still amending his proposals come tomorrow morning.

That depends. Roughly how long will it take for Coren or some other Arb to see this thread, block Chris and then claim all the credit while denying that he saw it on WR?

Risker ran a checkuser on Chester Markel on June 19. Would she not have picked up on any other socks at the time?

If someone consistently uses different user agent strings and ISPs for each account, checkuser isn't going to find anything.

Mantanmoreland used to use long distance dial up accounts to make it appear his alternate accounts were editing from a different metropolitan area. It only takes one slip up to get caught, though.

Mathsci there is just too much circumstantial evidence here not to consider something of the nature that tarantino suggests. Cbrick did not edit often prior to this. Basically on a handful of days in prolonged sessions. It would be very easy not to have slipped up in such a scenario. Currently there is a hilarious conversation going on between Cbrick and Off2riorob on Cbrick's talk page. Cbrick apparently claims to be a 16 year old screen writer.

Based on the circumstantial evidence alone, I would remove the workshop proposals from the case page and copy them to the user's talk page. Commenting in Arbitration really should be limited to "vested" editors -- not necessarily the parties only, but people with a demonstrated and reasonably long-term interest in Wikipedia. This account is too new and too specialized to be anything but a sock or a reincarnation.
