Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/DrL

[edit] DrL

• DrL (talk • contribs • logs • block user • block log • checkuser)
• Asmodeus (talk • contribs • logs • block user • block log • checkuser)
• Code letter: Other. A point has been raised that DrL is personally related to Christopher Michael Langan, as has Asmodeus (now in arbitration, see Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/ScienceApologist). DrL has been aggressively editing and reverting at Christopher Michael Langan, and if related to Langan and Asmodeus, in violation of WP:AUTO and WP:COI, and this needs to be clarified to determine how to proceed.

Clerk note: Please see this version of the page, which was previously blanked per a privacy request from the subject. The previous version also alleges disruptive editing at articles related to Christopher Michael Langan. That said, as this pertains to an open arbitration proceeding, it should be referred to the arbitration committee per policy. Thatcher131 18:14, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

Actually, I'm going to go ahead an add DrL as a party to Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/ScienceApologist. You'll need to present evidence there if you want action taken. (Writing about yourself is discouraged but not a violation; writing about anything in a disruptive fashion is a no-no no matter who you are. Thatcher131 18:21, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks guys. FeloniousMonk 18:42, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

Please review my edits to see that I have improved the article and absolutely not written in a "disruptive fashion". In fact, I sought the guidance of one of the admins for feedback and have encouraged discussion and collaboration. Thank you. --DrL 18:46, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

Allegations of disruptive editing should be addressed in a user conduct request for conduct or, in longstanding cases, arbitration. Given the allegations here it seems natural to consider your behavior in the ongoing arbitration case. You may add evidence or make a defense there. Checkuser, which is for determining whether two or more users share IP addresses, is not the right forum to investigate these allegations. Thatcher131 18:50, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

The spur for this request seems to have been Conspandex (talk • contribs), whose first edit to Wikipedia, made earlier today, revealed to FeloniousMonk speculative personal information about DrL, and alluded to a page deleted more than a month ago which also revealed speculative personal information, a blockable offense per the blocking policy, which says that "Users who post what they believe are the personal details of other users without their consent may be blocked". What is the appropriate venue for a checkuser to see if Conspandex is a sockpuppet, particularly of anyone connected to the arbitration case? Tim Smith 20:30, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

E-mail arbcom-L at wikipedia dot org or post a motion for checkuser on the workshop page. Thatcher131 20:38, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

Note: The matter involves a current arbitration case, raise the issue there. Essjay (Talk) 11:40, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
