Avraham,

Could you run a CheckUser on Peter Karlsen?

Here is the evidence:
---------
I have a strong suspicion that User:Peter Karlsen <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Peter_Karlsen> is a sockpuppet of User:Erik9 <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Erik9>, who is a sockpuppet of banned user User:John254 <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:John254>. User:Erik9 is already so identified.

Suspicious behaviour of Peter Karlsen:

1. It's rather suspicious that 40 minutes after account creation, Peter Karlsen had the experience to use install and use popups.

2. On the same day of account creation, Peter Karlsen knows how to substitute and use templates like {{uw-blp}} <http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:78.149.59.59&diff=381589826>.

3. All his edits make it evident that he is a very experienced editor who is not under his first account. For example, see Wikipedia:Protected edit user right <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Protected_edit_user_right>.

Similarities between Peter Karlsen and Erik9

1. Both began using popups <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Tools/Navigation_popups> the day the accounts were created. See <http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&dir=prev&target=Peter+Karlsen"> and <http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&dir=prev&target=Erik9>.

2. The style in which Peter Karlsen and Erik9 warn vandals are similar. Both do not provide edit summaries, which automatically turns out to be "←Created page with '{{subst:uw-vand2|Name of article}} ~~~~". See <http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&dir=prev&offset=20090914163707&limit=4&target=Erik9> and <http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&dir=prev&target=Peter+Karlsen&limit=45>. Note that both use uw-vand and not uw-vandalism or alternate forms.

3. Both Peter Karlsen and Erik9 run bots. Peter Karlsen has KarsenBot <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:KarlsenBot>. Erik9 has Erik9bot <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Erik9bot>. Note also Andrea105Bot <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Andrea105Bot>, ValhallaBot <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:ValhallaBot>, and Jennifer500Bot <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Jennifer500Bot> from sockpuppets of main account John254. Note the similarity in format and capitalisation (KarsenBot, ValhallaBot, Jennifer500Bot). Syntax is [Username][Bot].

4. Both use User:Mr.Z-man/closeAFD.js <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Mr.Z-man/closeAFD.js> to close AfDs. For Peter Karlsen, see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kilburn Priory <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Kilburn_Priory>, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dimitris Froxylias <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Dimitris_Froxylias>, and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Switch adapted toys <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Switch_adapted_toys>. For Erik9, see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Send More Paramedics <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Send_More_Paramedics>, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Exoskeletal engine <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Exoskeletal_engine>, and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Sound of Fishsteps <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/The_Sound_of_Fishsteps>.

Thank you,

Hi all,

Given Erik9 is a sock of John254, that also points to the name chosen below (it's a typical John254 username). That plus all the other evidence provided & I'd say yes, a check is warranted.

As Erik9 is stale (by about 9 days ), anyone have data to which Peter Karlsen can be compared?

Avi, are you still onto this one? From a glance at the CU log this seems
to be a match.

I have blocked the user and his bot, indefinitely, with the note "Please contact ArbCom". If he is really turning over a new leaf, that should be encouraged, which is why I neither tagged nor mentioned the ban in the notes. E-mail is not active, so I left a note on the talk page to contact arbcom regarding editing privileges <https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/User_talk:Peter_Karlsen>.

I have removed all userrights from both the account and the bot ('crats can de-flag bots on enwiki w/o acting as stewards) with the same ArbCom note.

I'd request people watchlist the account/talk pages in case someone decides to unblock as I was somewhat vague--on purpose.

Thank you,

I don't have an irony detector. Does WalMart sell them?

Wouldn't know, I don't shop at Wal-mart. But I imagine you have to give them all your personal information before they'll sell you the batteries.
