Suspected sock puppets


Main suspect
Evidence

Both of them take similar interest and amazingly similar writing skills.Heavy involvement in anti government schemes.Extremely pro-LTTE bias in articles. And who is this watchdogb ? Well ,I have no doub that he is the banned user User:Elalan. For that we just need to use common sense. Out of all the possible user name, watchdogb had chose B at the end of his name..And speaking of B, the only user comes to my mind is Trincomanb,Elalan's sock puppeteer !!

And the most striking proof that watchdogb is none other than Elalan is ,this. Elalan was proven to be a university student in canada and by doing a simple IP check we can see this watchdogb is also going to a university in canada too, toronto if i say precisely. And considering the fact that they take the same interest and edit same articles,taking account the user Elalan's inability to edit here due his permanent ban, I have no doubt that he created this sock-puppet to evade his block .

More evidences

Both user's have similar interest's and share similar tamil nationalistic views.

  • Similar anti government rants.

at his own user page and at ANI. Both users have posted similar rants BUT both times in wrong places ! Amazingly they make similar unencyclopedic mistakes too !!



lesser suspects 1

This is a relatively new user, just spent his very first week in wikipedia. BUT what amazes me was, his first contribution here. His very first contribution here is to vote at t a AFD in which both user Lustead and watchdogb were heavily involved. Even if you see his contributions here we can clearly see this account was made for vote-rigging and to push some ones POV. The user seems to know wikipedia very well ,even though he is absolutely new here.How come some new user knows about an AFD going on here ? How come new user knows ,in depth details about other users in his first or second day in Wikipedia ? We just need common sense to realize this account is a definitely sock puppet of some other editor. And considering the fact this user has even given a barnstar, to Watchdogb , we might even ad that this was created not only for vote-rigging but also to give bogus barnstars to chosen users, a disgraceful act, considering we are all here to contribute in good faith.

Evidences

This user had his first edit on the 15 th on Duraiappa stadium mass grave article. And on the same day, his very first day in Wikipedia, he posted a message at ANI asking admins to intervene to resolve,what he called a dispute related to the article.here.Which is highly unimaginable considering this was only his first day at wiki!!As for a new user he seems to know too much of inside work in wikipedia. Although his interest is solely on a couple of articles, he has done no contributions to the any of the articles. In order to deceive the other Wikipedian users he has touched/edited a couple of other articles . But if you carefully look at the diff, those edits were micro-minor , and not even worth considering as contributions. add brackets add brackets add brackets add brackets

  • And who is he ? Well, though I have a no doubt that he is a sock-puppet of some one, his sudden appear in the Wikipedia and heavy involvement in the AFd made me to believe that he could well be a sock puppet of any of the mentioned sock-puppeteer.
  • I strongly believe these sock-puppet's were created in-order to evade blocks,push POV ,Vote rigging,and to achieve consensus in disputed articles. Judging by the way they edits and considering they have been here for a less than a week, I kindly ask relevant administrators to take an immediate action against all the accused.
