User:Anarcho-capitalism joined wikipedia on September 15th and immediately made 15 edits on his first day, followed by 41 edits on his second day. Within 3 days he made over 100 edits. [1] This is not typical behavior for a new user. In his first edit he claimed to have come to wikipedia after receiving a message on an email list that summoned him here. [2] If true, that would imply an amazing degree of dedication, considering the fact that he has edited every single day since joining and made 2490 edits in all [3] (that means 63.84 edits per day).

Based on his editing pattern, I strongly suspect this user is a sockpuppet of User:Hogeye (also an outspoken anarcho-capitalist, also made numerous edits to the Anarchism and Anarcho-capitalism articles, spending considerable amounts of time in debates on the Talk pages), who has been banned for disruptive editing. On September 15th, the same day when User:Anarcho-capitalism joined wikipedia, Hogeye returned after being blocked for two months. [4] [5] Granted, Hogeye had not yet been permanently banned when User:Anarcho-capitalism joined, but Hogeye has been banned before and he created sockpuppets on those occasions. It is conceivable that he expected the permanent ban and created a sockpuppet just in case. -- Nikodemos 03:52, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Clerk note: The email comment and edit rate are interesting, but please show some diffs of similar editing patterns. What makes you think that it is Hogeye?Voice-of-All 19:03, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

He has made the same pattern of disruptive repeated-reversions to the same article Hogeye has; he has not denied being a sockpuppet. Most people on Talk:Anarchism seem convinced he is Hogeye's sock. Indeed, he has not edited a single article (in the last 50 edits) apart from Anarchism and Template:Anarchism which is what Hogeye was edit-warring on before he was blocked. -- infinity0 15:12, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

• Inconclusive. However, this means little, as WickedWanda edits exclusively from open proxies, all of which are now blocked. Mackensen (talk) 23:42, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
