[edit] L.L.King

This user created this account 2 days after a request for article creation was declined. He then registered his first account and began making extensive edits to existing articles to promote this music video. When trivia tags were placed on the popular culture section of Paris Hilton, this user began making attacks against me using his main account and each of his socks to give the illusion of greater consensus. Each of the remarks left on my talk page are nearly identical and present with the same writing style and POV for Wikipedia guidelines. This user then began canvassing for support from User:SchuminWeb, User:Wanderer57 and User:JohnBiancato, among others. He left messages on all three talk pages claiming that a request for checkuser would fail since all users originate in his apartment complex, where he has previously said those accounts belong to "associates around his city," and left the following explanation on the outstanding sock puppet case against him:

"I have never denied speaking to friends and associates about the heavy-handed and biased edits of a person on Wiki who calls himself "Cumulus Clouds". Over a few day period, these conversations have taken place in a grocery stores, local diners, in the laundry room, outside a union hall, at a gas station... lots of places. It rankles that someone so abuses Wiki for his own ends. ANd I voiced my concerns to many people outside of Wiki. And here on Wiki I wrote to friend user SchuminWeb to thank him more recently thanked for advice and apolgize for involving him in my disagreement with this Cloud person. I also wrote similarly to friend user Wanderer57. I voiced a my recent suspicion that some of my own neighbors might well be among those trying to undo Clouds vandalisms. HOWEVER.... that some of these new editors may know me... that they may have come on board Wiki within a short period of time due to my discussions outseide in the world... that they apparently agree that user Cumulus Clouds is abusing the Wiki process... that they have come forward to patch the holes he has made... that they are likely sitting back and watching this discussion... that some of them could even be my neighbors, does not in any way mean that they are puppets. It does mean they are constructive and not destructive. It does mean that they came forward to take action against an abuser." L.L.King (talk) 21:52, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

I apologize for this exhaustive list, but I feel that all the evidence should be presented so that this request is not taken as a reaction to an isolated incident, but rather to prolonged demonstration of sockpuppet activity. Thank you. Cumulus Clouds (talk) 20:36, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
