[edit] User:Cro..Scream

Engaged in trying to save an article on Aaron Donahue, first on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Aaron Donahue (second nomination) and currently at Wikipedia:Deletion review/Aaron Donahue, and various other questionable edits. The main account has done very little of use to the encyclopaedia: several apparent vanity articles, two apparent hoaxes, some vandalism. Not my favourite user right now. Just zis Guy you know? 12:03, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

Additional information needed What's the justification for believing they are sockpuppets... Essjay (Talk • Connect) 13:04, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

Single-purpose accounts used to astroturf support for an apparent vanity article. And new ones popping up all the time, it seems. Just zis Guy you know? 17:04, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

Confirmed. It does appear to be the work of a single person, with perhaps an imitator. Essjay (Talk • Connect) 07:32, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. I received an email this very morning from one of these "users". I will tag accordingly. Just zis Guy you know? 14:07, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

This looks like another one associated with Cro..Scream (see below), either a sleeper account or a close firend (hard to tell which). Has little edit history other than adding references to James Donahue's website to articles, Oublier and Cro..Scream both added {{prod}} to Ed Dames (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs), with whom Cro..Scream's pet Luciferian, Aaron C. Donahue (deleted as non-notable, son of above named James) has an ongoing dispute. Both have also added uncited attacks into the Dames article. Just zis Guy you know? 21:03, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

  • Also, can you check IP 68.60.86.204 (talk • contribs) with relation to both. Edit history in the same sets of articles. In the Aaron Donahue AfD, this IP posted two separate votes, and signed one of them as User:Oublier while User:Cro..Scream forged a signature on the other. Fan1967 22:00, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

Confirmed. Oublier is 68.60.86.204, and is linked to the others listed above. Essjay (Talk • Connect) 08:49, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
