[edit] Hornetman16 (March 2008)

First of all, I apologize because I probably didn't do this correctly. I believe CinnamonCrunchy to be a sockpuppet of banned user User:Hornetman16 as he provided a link to a known Hornet sock (User:Monnitewars)' photobucket account, claiming he "found it through a search engine". The chances he would randomly come across a banned users photobucket account while searching for WWE related pictures is very low considering the large amount of WWE-related images on the web. Secondly, as a new user, his first contributions were changing his signature (something Hornetman frequently did) and creating a monobook (which is unlikely for a new user to do). He also immediately began editing wrestling articles (Hornet's territory) and quoting policy (also something a new user is unlikely to know). Lastly, looking through Hornet's logs, he frequently uploaded images for WWE pay-per-views. Cinnamon has done the same thing. He also started this debate at WT:PW relating to said images, where he was impatient and combative (like Hornetman). Nikki311 01:28, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Additional information needed Hornetman16 is Stale; are the any confirmed socks with recent contributions for comparison?

[edit] Hornetman16 2

Specious RfA here Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Hornetwoman17 coupled with creation of userpage that says "I am not a sockpuppet of Hornetman16" without any other content. Avruchtalk 04:33, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Unrelated - someone's trolling and it isn't Hornetman :) - Alison 04:49, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Hornetman16

  • Code letter: G

Hornetman16 recently had his userpage involuntarily deleted (won't go into the reasons), and was quite angry about it. Another user, Cenafan16, showed up on User:Daniel's talk page (the deleting admin of his userpage) and asked why he deleted Hornetman16's page. The following evidence is submitted that Cenafan16 is a sock of Hornetman16...

  • Hornetman is interested in wrestling, specifically Chris Benoit and John Cena, according to his old page. Cenafan obviously has an interest in John Cena too.
  • Cenafan's only edits relate to the deletion of Hornetman16's userpage
  • Both end in 16

Okay, so the last bit is circumstantial on its own but together with the rest of the evidence its important. I request this checkuser since the user adamantly denies that the user is a sockpuppet. --ɐuɐʞsəp (ʞɿɐʇ) 19:43, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Ahem, Hornetman16 was caught in Cenafan's autoblock. This looks pretty open-and-shut. ~ Riana 20:07, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
