Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/WritersCramp

[edit] SirIsaacBrock (talk • contribs) and WritersCramp (talk • contribs)

Geoff_NoNick (talk • contribs • logs • block user • block log) is a new editor, he keeps deleting factually correct information from the List of conflicts in Canada article. I discussed the matter with him at the articles user talk page. He disagrees with the reverts and has posted me as a sock puppet of someone named WritersCramp Wikipedia:Requests for comment/WritersCramp. Would you please remove my name from the request page and speak this person about proper etiquette at Wikipedia. If you believe I am a sockpuppet of this editor please close my wiki account. I will move on to another hobby. Thank you SirIsaacBrock 00:09, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

Not a checkuser request. Essjay ^{Talk • Contact} 16:41, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

Moved back again. I do not know what you mean by this is not a check user request?! I am requesting a check user against another user, which people are claiming is my sock puppet. It is the only way to clear up the issue. Cordially SirIsaacBrock 00:09, 29 March 2006 (UTC) 00:10, 31 March 2006 (UTC)(Moved out of the <!-- --> tags.

Your request says: "Would you please remove my name from the request page and speak this person about proper etiquette at Wikipedia. If you believe I am a sockpuppet of this editor please close my wiki account." It does not say request that a checkuser be run, thus, it is not a checkuser request; instead, it asks that a user be admonished (this isn't the place for that) or an account be "closed" (this isn't a bank, we don't "close" accounts; if you want it "closed," just stop using it). If you want a checkuser run, then you need to say "Please run a checkuser on User:X and User:Y due to [reason]." Your second message seems to suggest you want a checkuser run on your own account; if that is the case, please say so very clearly, as your initial request doesn't mention that at all.

Okay please do a check user, thank u SirIsaacBrock 02:55, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

Inconclusive. Essjay ^{Talk • Contact} 05:37, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

Inconclusive ?? why ? Either we have the same IP or we don't have the same IP. If it is inconclusive, as an Administrator would you please take my name down from the Wikipedia:Requests for comment/WritersCramp article, thank you. SirIsaacBrock 10:16, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

Inconclusive because we can only check what we have records for. Unfortunately, there are no recent records for WritersCramp, so there is simply nothing to check against. Checkuser is not magic wiki pixie dust that solves all problems; it is one of many tools used for detecting sockpuppetry. The evidence that matters is the editing pattern; checkuser serves simply to confirm or reject, where possible, that which the community has already had cause to believe. In this case, the checkuser evidence is neutral. Essjay ^{Talk • Contact} 10:52, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

Okay, but the important thing is my name comes down from the Wikipedia:Requests for comment/WritersCramp are you going to be able to complete this task ? If not, what options do I have now ? SirIsaacBrock 11:27, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

Checkusers do not generally act on the results; that is the responsibility of admins who are more informed in the situation. Raise the issue on WP:ANI. Essjay ^{Talk • Contact} 11:47, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
