From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

CreepyCrawly (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · block user · block log) was blocked by Raul654 on 15 March 2008 as a suspected sockpuppet of Scibaby (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · block user · block log).

The purpose of this document is to demontrate that CreepyCrawly is unrelated to Scibaby. He has already explained much on his talk page and on a posting to Wikipedia Review. I made additional arguments at User talk:CreepyCrawly#Outside opinion from Shalom, and Raul654 tried to refute those arguments (scroll down at the link above).

I have reviewed the logs of every account and IP allegedly used by Scibaby to show their editing patterns. Below, I contrast these patterns with CreepyCrawly.

[edit] User accounts

I am listing these accounts according to the chronological order of their creation, with the oldest first.

[edit] Accounts created in 2006

[edit] March 2006

Account created 23 March 2006. Edited in March-April 2006, then to unrelated articles in Nov.-Dec. 2007. He made this edit on 18 November 2006 and another on 1 December, but no others in those two months. He requested unblock in January 2008 but did not actually protest his innocence, and the request was declined.

Account created 29 March 2006. No edits between 17 August 2006 and 17 January 2007 (in contrast to CreepyCrawly's first edit in Nov. 2006). Denies being a sockpuppet of Scibaby, but he gave up trying to get unblocked pretty quickly, and his editing of Murder of Emily Sander, which another Scibaby sock also did, suggests he's a sock. He protested his innocence on his user talk page, but did not formally request an unblock, and gave up after 2 edits.

[edit] April 2006

Created 10 April 2006. First edit 30 May 2006. Edited in June 2006 and December 2007, but not in between. Nothing to do with global warming or nanotechnology.

[edit] July 2006

Account created 19 July 2006. Edited mainly nanotechnology in July-September 2006, then resurfaced after a year's hiatus on 25 September 2007 and was blocked.

Account created 29 July 2006. Many edits from 29 July 2006 until he was blocked in Nov. 2007. Did not take interest in global warming until 2 October 2007. These three edits to F. Albert Cotton on 5 December 2007 were his only edits between Sept. 2007 and March 2008.

[edit] September 2006

Account created 2 September 2006. Edited mainly nanotechnology that summer. Blocked on 25 September 2007. Like Obedium, he made three edits to F. Albert Cotton on Dec. 3-4, 2006. He was active in Nov. 2006, but only on the nanotechnology article.

[edit] Stop here and consider this carefully.

Up until this point, Scibaby and four other accounts have edited mostly the nanotechnology. He also did not edit any articles related to global warming, and would not do so for another year. To the best of our collective knowledge, he did not create any accounts between September 2006 and March 2007.

Also, the accounts he did create, he used early and often. He did not create massive numbers of sleeper accounts. He did create one account on April 10 which he first used on April 30, but that's only a difference of 50 days. If you wish to argue that CreepyCrawly is a sockpuppet of Scibaby, you must demonstrate that it's been a sleeper account for more than 400 days!

These accounts made only a few edits in chronological proximity to CreepyCrawly's first edit: a few to nanotechnology by Scibaby, and a few to Mr. Cotton as above. Nothing to do with Talk:Civilian control of the military.

As you will see in the following table, almost all of the recent socks of Scibaby have targeted articles related to global warming. Where necessary, they waited between 4 days and 2 weeks in order to age the account to evade semiprotection, but in some cases they edited immediately. Again, none of these accounts were "sleepers" for even close to 400 days.

Also, as I mentioned above, two of Scibaby's socks requested unblock, but they did so halfheartedly, and it's evident that Scibaby's strategy was just to "rinse and repeat" = create a new bunch of socks and start over. He never came close to protesting his innocence as forcefully as CreepyCrawly is doing. CreepyCrawly's argument that he's innocent doesn't prove per se that he's innocent, but it does demonstrate that he's not Scibaby.

I could reorganize the arguments I gave to Raul654, but I'm getting tired of this. I've already spent four hours of my life working on this, and I feel that ought to be enough.

I give the logs of the other sockpuppets of Scibaby without further comment.

Please unblock CreepyCrawly. This miscarriage of justice must not be allowed to continue.
