Suspected sockpuppets


The suspected sockpuppet, User:Sceptic1954 (with 1781 edits since 2011-03-21) is an account used for the development of article The Man who Broke into Auschwitz. This account completed the article in 8 edits, 6 of them between 25 September and 8 October 2012 after which time, his editing stopped until 26 March 2015, when the most recent edit war erupted regarding the veracity of claims made in that article. On 26 March 2015 User:Sceptic1954 made two quick reverts at The Man who Broke into Auschwitz: at 07:33 (see diffs) of Piotrus (talk · contribs) and at 14:33 on 26 March 2015 of my own (see diffs). Please note: the reverted edits to this article included new references revealing an eye-opening controversy about an apparent hoax fabricated in England.

The suspected sockmaster, User:Light show (previously known as User:Wikiwatcher1, with 20329 edits since 2007-11-26) created that same article on 02:22, 24 April 2011, made 8 edits and stopped (see diffs). His 8 edits were followed with 6 edits by User:Sceptic1954 a year later. As the creator of this entry, the suspected sockmaster was (and still is) the main account used for controversial editing on that page. User:Light show on 6 March 2015 removed text and references revealing the apparent fabrication of the Auschwitz story, and made his decisive revert on 23:20, 26 March 2015 to the same extent ... right after two consecutive reverts of his suspected sockpuppet, who also went on to start a full-blown attack at ANI immediately.
