[edit] Arthur Ellis (2nd request)
- Arthur Ellis (talk • contribs • block user • block log • checkuser)
- Craigleithian (talk • contribs • block user • block log • checkuser)
Craigleithian first edits were to join Arthur Ellis in a reversion war on the Rachel Marsden page: 1RR by Arthur Ellis 2RR by Craigleithian 3RR by Craigleithian 4RR by Arthur Ellis 5RR by Arthur Ellis 6RR by Craigleithian 7RR by Craigleithian
Craigleithian's agenda is identical to Ellis'. Craig holds that the WP:BLP policy requires the removal of all negative material from an article regardless of its source (see here), an idiosyncratic interpretation that only Arthur Ellis shares (see here). Ellis has been trying to goad several user into a pointless mediation on this point (here); he is joined by Leithian in almost identical terms here.
- The Craigleithian user account created 04:14, 20 July 2006, Arthur Ellis was blocked for 24 hours less than an hour earlier. Later that same day, when Marie Tessier, another Arthur Ellis sock, was blocked 15:36, 20 July 2006, another sock/meat of Ellis (209.217.96.46) boasted of creating 'sleepers' for later disruption: "she took a bullet for the team... but where one has fallen, a dozen more ripen on the vine." This makes it look like Craigleithian was one such 'sleeper' created for the purpose of sock-puppet warring.
This is all related to a case is currently nearing completion before ArbComm involving Arthur Ellis (aka User:Ceraurus, aka User:Mark Bourrie, aka User:Marie Tessier, aka IPs resolving to Magma Communications in Ottawa too numerous to mention), who has often used socks to get around 3RR Bucketsofg✐ 01:33, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

At Warren Kinsella, Tessier username appeared moments after a 3RR block for Ellis and continued the edit war where Ellis left off, pressing the same position. - CrazyRussian talk/email 03:39, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
Geez, Kind of like the tag-team you have going will Ellis' detractors, right asshole? You are far too fucking dumb to ever practice law. Looks like you do Wiki full-time anywayMarie Tessier 03:56, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

FYI, Ceraurus did make an edit to his user talk page yesterday. Ianking 15:17, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
Based on that edit, Likely that they're the same (similar grounds). Mackensen (talk) 15:43, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
In light of this finding, the following additional check may be appropriate.
On July 5, Warren Kinsella posted links on his blogs to Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/Ceraurus and User:70.51.52.253, which described allegations that Arthur Ellis, who negatively edits Warren Kinsella, is really Ceraurus, formerly Mark Bourrie, who has a long-standing dispute in real life with Kinsella. Immediately, a series of Canadian IP addresses began blanking the pages and posting slurs against Kinsella, so that readers of Kinsella's blog would see the slurs and not the sockpuppet allegations. (The User:70.51.52.253 user page was deleted and protected by King of Hearts, but the edits are still there in the deleted page history.)

Some of these IPs have also edited Mark Bourrie, Warren Kinsella, and other articles in this particular sphere of Canadian blogs/politics. Additional similar Canadian IPs that have edited these articles include:
- 70.51.52.253 (talk • contribs • WHOIS • block user • block log • checkip)
- 209.217.124.37 (talk • contribs • WHOIS • block user • block log • checkip)
- 206.191.33.120 (talk • contribs • WHOIS • block user • block log • checkip)
- 219.209.48.150 (talk • contribs • WHOIS • block user • block log • checkip)
Before Mark Bourrie was semi-protected, Arthur Ellis and these IPs basically owned the article and probably engaged in multiple 3RR evasions (in addition to the ones he was caught at). Plus, if Ellis is Ceraurus/Bourrie, there is a huge WP:AUTO problem here.
It should be pointed out that some of the IPs editing the Bourrie article are highly negative and are probably tied to Kinsella.
The purpose of this request is to demonstrate to Arthur Ellis that we are not fools, that we understand his game, and that we will not tolerate it any longer. This evidence could be useful if it ever goes to arbitration, which is one reason I am asking now, before the logs grow stale. However, it would be nice if Ellis realized that he needs to work within the system and can't game us any more. Thatcher131 16:55, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
- In addition to the IPs supplied by Thatcher131, I would also suggest cross checking the ones below, all which vandalized the Warren Kinsella and/or Pierre Bourque. They are Magma Communications accounts (31 Auriga Drive, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, K2E-1C4, Tel: +1-613-228-3565), so perhaps a range block is possible. There are probably a dozen others, but I can't keep up. You'll see that Arthur Ellis / Mark Bourrie / Ceraurus has played similar games over at Rachel Marsden. It's like whack-a-mole.

Note: I gather there's an arbcom case now. I'm tabling this request pending any injunctions that might be issued. This is moving beyond our purview, I think. Mackensen (talk) 19:40, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
