[edit] Joestella

Filed: 05:56, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

Joestella (talk · contribs) has admitted that ChampagneComedy (talk · contribs) is a sockpuppet of his (diff), which has also been confirmed by Krimpet (talk · contribs) when denying a request for unblock (diff). The edits of those two user accounts always seem to be quite closely timed together and follow each other around the wiki. When one fails to make their point in an action, it always seems that the other account comes along almost instantly to help do so. The identification by Krimpet of both accounts using the same IP in recent times only lends further weight to this suspicion. Further to this, ChampagneComedy has been used to commit a number of 3RR violations and tenuous move warring over It's Time 1 2 3 4 5 6 The potential links to Alexis+kate (talk · contribs) are a little more thin, but the votes of both Joestella and Alexis+kate during recent AfD debates on National U and Blitz (magazine) are somewhat similar based on how basic they are and the fact that in one of these Joestella seems to deliberately deal with the user in a manner as if they did not know them.

  • Further information It should also be noted about the editing style of Alexis+kate, particularly in the context of the users page. The page seems to suggest that the holder of this account is not a new editor to the wiki, and almost comes across if the user is attempting to make some form of joke towards wikipedia.

  • Shared accounts are prohibited, anyhow. I'll ask Joestella if this is his sock.Proabivouac 07:18, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
