[edit] 909er is UCRGrad

I strongly suspect that 909er is a sockpuppet of UCRGrad, created for the purpose of helping UCRGrad push his POV on the article University of California, Riverside, which is in violation of a Wikipedia policy on sockpuppets, and somewhat disruptive.

Here are my reasons for suspecting he's a sockpuppet:

  1. 909er made his very first edit merely 21 minutes after UCRGrad's 3RR block wore off. [1][2]
  2. 909er's first edit was to insert additional description of racial hate crimes in surrounding areas, [3] immediately after UCRGrad lost a debate (because of no concensus) on being able to do that same thing (which is what UCRGrad got that 3RR block for).
  3. 909er removed many {{citeneeded}} tags that had been placed after additions that UCRGrad had made (and/or additions he had repeatedly defended from deletion in the past). [4]
  4. When 909er's changes were reverted by someone else, UCRGrad restored all of those changes. [5][6]
  5. Some suspiciously similar edits with identical formatting peculiarities. [7] [8]
  6. 909er words his edit summaries (and talking) in a peculiar manner with stuff like "yo", "yoyoyo" and "extraneous" mixed in, [9][10][11] suggesting it is done to purposely appear to behave differently from the sockpuppeteer.
  7. 909er has a tendency to put his comments in all bold text, as does UCRGrad. [12] [13]
  8. 909er has edited only the University of California, Riverside article. Not only is this highly unusual behavior for a non-sockpuppet new user to follow, but it is exactly the same behavior as UCRGrad, who also edits only University of California, Riverside. (Also, neither user has bothered to create a user page, not that it means a lot.)

In other words, 909er matches most of the characteristics of sock puppets, and supports the same views (controversially negative about this one university) as UCRGrad.

[edit] 71.198.58.193 is UCRGrad

Besides behaving apparently identically to UCRGrad, 71.198.58.193 has signed as UCRGrad on some of his posts.[14] [15]
