It is also possible that Scoties and Mblitray are in fact socks of ED209 (talk ยท contribs), though my first impression is that it's VaughanWatch again. It's also important to note that I am asking for this confirmation in order to lodge a complaint with the ISP. The attacks against me have reached an intolerable level (IMO) and if we aren't able to stop him here (which we haven't been) I am looking to take more action. Thanks. -- pm_shef 00:15, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

Clerk note: Scoties and Mblitray are indef blocked for vandalism, however, their edits and edit summaries are pretty vile, which would justify action against their puppet master if one can be identified. Thatcher131 (talk) 02:03, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

I have added a number of User IDs and IPs that have recently been flagged as suspected socks of VaughanWatch (in the list SupermanAboveTO through 67.70.148.183. See Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/VaughanWatch for evidence behind them. I believe that there is potential that this sock farm is being managed by two people with a similar agenda. -- JamesTeterenko 02:42, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

  • There are two points I want to make clear here. First, I know that Scoties and Mblitray are already indef blocked. I made the checkuser request in order to confirm whether or not they're being operated by VW so that if they are, I can, and will, report the various IP's we have for him to his ISP. Second, I'm not accusing ED209 of being a sockpuppet of VW. If you read my comments, you'll see that I state that I believe Scoties and Mblitray to be socks of VaughanWatch, however there is a possibility that they are in fact socks of ED209 as the tone of their edits is closer to his. -- pm_shef 04:13, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
    • These sockpuppets seem to be using Bell. I use Rogers. Remove me from this list please. ED209 18:09, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
  • NOTE to Clerk. Due to recent edits, it is my belief that User:ED203, User:Pm watch, User:Scoties and User:Mblitary are in fact socks of User:ED209. If you feel it necessary, I can move them to a seperate case page. -- pm_shef 21:50, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

I've been adding new suspected socks (even if they are already indefinitely blocked). Please let me know if this is not of value. -- JamesTeterenko 00:09, 7 August 2006 (UTC)


  • Keep in mind, Mr. Shefman. You were on the front page of the local paper. 230,000 live in Vaughan. Maybe people were irked by what you were quoted as saying and have decided to bother you on here. I do not have any sockpuppets. You've accused me of this before and I was right. My style isn't to follow your non-Vaughan related pages. I just monitor the Vaughan pages for accuracy. It does appear that your confrontation manner of writing and your insistance of labelling anybody who disagrees with you as a "sockpuppet" has garnered you a group of fans. Finally, do you regret using your real name on wikipedia yet? ED209 00:32, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
  • No, I don't regret being honest. Please note, this page is not a place for discussion. If you have evidence, present it, if not, let CheckUser do its work. -- pm_shef 00:37, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
  • It is interesting that user:Thatcher131 added me to this list. Eariler in the VaughanWatch sockpuppet discussion he proved me NOT to be a sockpuppet. I will just refer everybody to that evidence. Also, please check my ip quickly to prove I am not a sockpuppet. These baseless acccusations are starting to annoy me.
ED, pm_shef named you above, I simply added you to the list using the proper template. Also, I have removed your cut-and-paste from RFC. Thank you though for refreshing my memory. I agree that in my opinion, you are not involved with VaughanWatch. However, it is pm_shef's right to ask, and the checkusers will decide if, and whom, to check. All I'm trying to do is keep the page properly formatted. Thatcher131 (talk) 02:55, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
  • If they are I will leave wikipedia forever. If they are not, will you do the same? ED209 21:53, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
  • I thought I already said that this page is for reporting not discussion. -- pm_shef 21:56, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Not confident enough I see. Anyway, I am fairly new to wikipedia and this process, so give me a break. ED209 21:58, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
