Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/Samiharris, One editor is using "open proxies" Options

Here's a link to the check user made on

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

Conclusion:

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

So Gary gets away with abusive sockpuppeting again. And again. An again.

The sockpuppeting rules on WP are a farce.

He double votes and triple bully reverts.

He talks to himself. Crazy shit.

He proxies.

He takes out personal real vendettas on WP.
1 - Julian Robertson (lawsuit)
2 - Russ Baker (competitor for occupational award)
3 - Patrick M Byrne (internet wars started Jan 2006. Byrne publicly accused MM's friends/colleagues of yellow journalism and worse, before that in 2005)
4 - Judd Bagley. (If Judd was evil he'd sue WP for his name being slandered all over it)

I know I'm missing some of his targets.

He gets busted on it. His socks get quietly taken away to the "promise you wont post with your main bully account dear sir!" farm.

He main abusive account is let go free continually.

That is Total Bullshit. Total.

Mantanmoreland, I hope you are being "kept up nights" and "having a nervous breakdown". Phrases you used to badger me on WP. You have a self-projection problem, idiot. How's it feel to get the light shone on your abuse?

WP, does he get three strikes? What about the rest of us who didn't do anything wrong in the first place.


Christofurio has been curiously silent on this affair since he came out of the Wikicloset (to his credit).

If Russ Baker could be contacted and invited to WR, and Devlin, that would be really insightful. Robertson would have a gag order so no go there, lol.

I'm sure ArghCom would get some choice retorts from MM's industry buttie Christofurio on what they were doing on WP. That was one tag teamer that wasn't a MM sock. Rare occurence.

I wonder if Cade "Meet the" Metz reads W-R and is following this. Anyone feel another Register coming on?
