– This SPI case is open.

Suspected sockpuppets

I thought I would note here: The material that relates to user:thekohser is further down. This was originally opened as a separate investigation, because the connection was not known at first. --Atethnekos (Discussion, Contributions) 21:06, 13 January 2014 (UTC)


User:2001:558:1400:10:d4bf:9258:ee2f:4f9a makes a notification of Bright-line rule infringements on January 2: . This IP is banned on January 3 . User:I'm not that crazy gives a similar Bright-line rule infringement notification on January 4: .

IPs have been giving previous similar notifications recently, e.g.:

On November 29 User:2001:558:1400:10:ac79:7a9:faf6:9668 writes that "WP:RS, WP:V, WP:NPOV, and WP:NOTE" are sufficient for dealing with COI . On December 2 User:I'm not that crazy writes that "WP:RS, WP:V, WP:NPOV, and WP:NOTE" are sufficient for dealing with COI.

Users consistently use "Bright Line Rule" as three separate words with each first letter capitalized, despite this being unusual (cf. common styles at: ):

There's some interesting relationship with User:Orangemike. The two different IPs both give sarcastic alerts to OrangeMike about deleting articles. Perhaps this user under a different account had an article deleted by Orangemike? Perhaps CheckUser could reveal this:

CheckUser to confirm and discover any other accounts. Atethnekos (Discussion, Contributions) 21:02, 4 January 2014 (UTC)

EDIT:

Same behaviour including style from IP 173.161.202.37:

This IP, 173.161.202.37, is registered to Comcast Business . User:I'm not that crazy also has an interest in Comcast Business: and . Gregory Kohs is a director at Comcast Business, who I believe has a history here at Misplaced Pages. --Atethnekos (Discussion, Contributions) 03:06, 5 January 2014 (UTC)

EDIT:

The edit mentioned above by 173.161.202.37 on November 24 was copied almost verbatim in an article by Gregory Kohs in the examiner on November 25: www.examiner.com/article/wikimedia-law-firm-fiddles-wikipedia-and-jimmy-wales-hides (blacklisted link). Perhaps this case should be merged with Misplaced Pages:Sockpuppet investigations/MyWikiBiz? --Atethnekos (Discussion, Contributions) 05:33, 5 January 2014 (UTC)

EDIT:

User:I'm not that crazy comes out of nowhere and cites a 5-year old edit by User:Thekohser in some arcane dispute: --Atethnekos (Discussion, Contributions) 19:13, 5 January 2014 (UTC)

EDIT:

IPs 2001:558:1400:10:6CB5:19A4:CF82:8444 and 2001:558:1400:10:3537:41B9:58A1:6138 show the same behaviour and style:

2001:558:1400:10:3537:41B9:58A1:6138 asks about Alfresco revdel on September 24 and Gregory Kohs writes an article about this in the Examiner on November 4: www.examiner.com/article/jimmy-wales-keynotes-alfresco-summit (blacklisted link).

IP 2001:558:1400:10:6CB5:19A4:CF82:8444 has some revdel additions which hopefully someone can compare with the article www.examiner.com/article/jimmy-wales-keynotes-alfresco-summit (for example it might show that the article contains information which was only also presented in the revdel'd edits). --Atethnekos (Discussion, Contributions) 19:28, 5 January 2014 (UTC)

EDIT:

User:I'm not that crazy responds in a thread started by 2001:558:1400:10:60BE:E938:FAFA:1EC7 with a link to and high level of familiarity with a two year post by Gregory Kohs: . --Atethnekos (Discussion, Contributions) 22:32, 5 January 2014 (UTC)

EDIT:

IP 2001:558:1400:10:78bc:4c64:2414:814f claims to have an email from Betsy Lordan of the FTC discussing rules concerning disclosure: . 2 years ago Gregory Kohs claims to have had just such a discussion with Betsy Lordan: --Atethnekos (Discussion, Contributions) 20:21, 6 January 2014 (UTC)

EDIT:

IP 2001:558:1400:10:FC49:2FE8:A83C:ECDE suggests welcoming MyWikiBiz back to Misplaced Pages: --Atethnekos (Discussion, Contributions) 21:13, 7 January 2014 (UTC)

On January 6 Gregory Kohs asks about Sarah Stierch and MyWikiBiz: . On January 7 IP 2001:558:1400:10:FC49:2FE8:A83C:ECDE asks about Sarah Stierch and MyWikiBiz: . --Atethnekos (Discussion, Contributions) 21:22, 7 January 2014 (UTC)

For the article List of Misplaced Pages controversies, IP 2001:558:1400:10:FC49:2FE8:A83C:ECDE cites a story by Gregory Kohs on the Examiner: www.examiner.com/article/jimmy-wales-breaks-wikipedia-rules-hunt-for-snowden (blacklisted link) --Atethnekos (Discussion, Contributions) 22:01, 7 January 2014 (UTC)

IP 2001:558:1400:10:e1c7:8438:5e48:3232 makes a comment November 8 which Gregory links to on the same day: --Atethnekos (Discussion, Contributions) 06:52, 8 January 2014 (UTC)

On January 9 Gregory Kohs objects to editing with regards to an IBT story by Thomas Halleck . On January 10 User:I'm not that crazy objects to the same thing .

On January 8 User:I'm not that crazy argues that Gregory Kohs is a good source to use for an article , including showing intimate knowledge of when and where Kohs has been cited.

On January 10 Gregory Kohs objects to how clients of Comcast Business are listed on the Misplaced Pages article . The same day, User:I'm not that crazy makes the same objection .--Atethnekos (Discussion, Contributions) 05:07, 12 January 2014 (UTC)

These 2001 IPs are very similar to the ones in the archive: Misplaced Pages:Sockpuppet_investigations/Thekohser/Archive#15 May 2013. --Atethnekos (Discussion, Contributions) 21:09, 13 January 2014 (UTC)
