Evidence

PRIOR EVIDENCE: This sockpuppetry is repeated vandalism by Keith Wigdor, who has been harrassing other users associated with the Surrealism article. This same individual, Madsurrealist for a long time was using the account of Classicupiter2 and is a previously proven sockpuppeteer:

The arbitration committee looked into the problem, but they didn't do anything about it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Association_of_Members%27_Advocates/Requests/February_2007/TextureSavant

Comments


This Suspected-Sockpuppet case is being filed in order to take further action in preventing this individual from causing further disruption to the Surrealism article.

The first four user accounts in this case are all new and use the same disruptive language and mannerisms that suggest that the Classicjupiter2 sockpuppeteer has returned from a few months' reprieve in order to cause more trouble for the Surrealism article. His usual motive is the skewing of consensus & disruption of discussion regarding the article. In particular, he has a beef with the Chicago Surrealist Group, and repeatedly attempts to remove references to them that appear in the article. Keith Wigdor is sore because he can't succeed in getting his own name and website (http://www.surrealismnow.com) into the Surrealism article. --TextureSavant 14:52, 1 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

These various sock accounts should be blocked, so as to prevent Keith Wigdor/ User:Madsurrealist from causing more disruption to the Surrealism article.
