P.wormer[edit]

Do the above three accounts have the same underlying IP addresses? The accounts seem to be inserting deliberate sneaky vandalism.

The details were reported to me by Acer (talk · contribs · count).

At User:Jbmurray/Madness, see diff, two users vandalized the page - User:Southern Beau and User:Virginia fried chicken - right after the other, Acer (talk · contribs · count) suspects them of being the same person. Looking at their edit histories which despite being quite small show a curious similarity.

Interestingly, while navigating through the list of edits, there was user name User:P.wormer that Acer (talk · contribs) had seen at citizendiums forums. A few days ago jbmurray (talk · contribs) had made a post to their blog: [[6]] and Wormer was one of the people who participated in the discussion. Acer (talk · contribs) checked other articles edited by both of the accounts above and most of them were at some point edited by Wormer if not started by himself. Acer (talk · contribs) suspects that all three were the same person.

Acer (talk · contribs) believes that User:P.wormer has been using those two accounts to insert subtle errors into articles he had worked in the past or authored himself. One exmaple of this is: Eckart conditions which was written by him, you can see by looking at the history that user:Southern Beau made an edit saying it was minor corrections but which changed the content of the article subtly. Acer (talk · contribs) decided to check citizendium as he figured User:P.wormer would've copied his article over there and the article was there [7] also written by User:P.wormer. The part that was changed by user:Southern Beau! was also there in its original form meaning that the change to the wp article was indeed vandalism. Here are some exemples that were edited by all three: [8] [9] and by two: [10] [11]. Acer (talk · contribs) thinks User:P.wormer did not like the post jbmurray (talk · contribs) made at the blog, saying that WP had higher standards than CZ and so he vandalised the essay.
