Evidence

GulizSahdur‎ is on the verge of getting blocked (if she isn't already) for vandalizing Eastern Mediterranean University, so it's not a hard to guess who this person is. I don't really want her banned outright as she has invaluable information, but she is breaking the rules. Take what action you consider appropriate.

Comments

I guess we should probably regard them as being the same person. Incidentally, the editing pattern is more that of a disruptive editor, than a vandal.--PhilKnight (talk) 13:49, 28 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I should correct my terminology. She also uses an IP address. All sockpuppets are self-confirmed. I'm trying to make sure the debate stays civil. At the rate the allegations are flying, my hunch is that 2K and Guliz are going to agree to remove the whole section and let it slide. --Adoniscik^{(t, c)} 17:50, 28 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Still no progress. Guliz is now removing portions that I believe we had previously agreed to keep, so I request punitive action in order to stop the edit war. I already reverted the removal once myself, but I'm leaving it up the second time so you can see for yourself. --Adoniscik^{(t, c)} 14:37, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I thought I'd point this out: [1] JeremyMcCracken (talk) (contribs) 14:39, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, because of the edit war, I've protected the article. PhilKnight (talk) 14:50, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I just checked the contribs, and they both look quite similar, because they are both editing the user pages at the same time. Frankly, it probably is a sockpuppet. If so, ban them outta sight. RoryReloaded (talk) 04:16, 13 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There is no doubt they are the same user; she admitted it herself. I think she does not know the rules and probably forgot the password to her old account. In any case, the issue has moved from sockpuppetry to tendentious editing. The debate in the article's talk has died down a little bit, so I'm hopeful we'll see some resolution soon. Let's see how it goes. (For the record, I think they both have COI.) --Adoniscik^{(t, c)} 04:22, 13 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Conclusions

Blocked GulizSahdur‎ since she's not actually using two accounts at once, with the autoblock turned off. At this rate, the other account will be indef'd soon too. — Rlevse • Talk • 03:01, 14 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
