Here's a link to the check user made on

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Req...Case/Samiharris

Conclusion:
QUOTE(Thatcher)
I don't for a minute think that Palabrazo [who made the request] is a curious bystander who just happened across this request. However, based on the standards I usually use, and pretending I don't know the history here, the evidence is sufficient to run a check. The answer is Inconclusive because one of these editors has only edited via open proxies. Thatcher 01:57, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Didn't Armed Blowfish get banned for edited via open proxies?

why's pouponontoast so interested in defending gary weiss?

The only connection between them is poupon supposedly uses proxies/tor and one of gary weiss's accounts were found to use proxies.

I thought the user:hypocrite guy who poupon used to be was just some mongo buddy trying to hide the 9/11 truth, not into naked short selling and stuff. I mean the guy isnt gary weiss... right?

Actually, I have evidence that Hipocrite lives in Wyoming, and MONGO admits working for the National Forest Service (which owns about half of Wyoming). Considering there are about 1,000 people in the whole state (+/- 500,000) one has to wonder if they might be the same person.

I would also note that from the beginning, Weiss has worked his way down the foodchain in his recruitment of protectors. Tell me this doesn't represent the various strata of the Wikipedia power structure:
  1. SlimVirgin
  2. Jayjg
  3. Jimbo Wales
  4. David Gerard
  5. JzG
  6. Georgewilliamherbert (aka Jeff Albertson)
    -----entering the non-admin layer-------
  7. MONGO
  8. EFKAH (Editor Formerly Known as Hipocrite) aka PouponOnToast
