  • I've already given the IP a week off as the admitted engineer of a breaching experiment and operator of the blocked impersonation account. I assume this to be a sock of some sort but that is not in the logged reason for the block. Ole English has alrady re-blocked Maxviwe based on behavioral evidence so I'm not so sure there is anything to do here. Beeblebrox (talk) 17:50, 21 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • As always, should Maxviwe be de-'reviewer'ed and de-'rollbacker'ed? ⇒TAP 18:06, 21 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
He is indef blocked, so all userrights are suspended until such time as he is unblocked. There's nothing to be gained by fiddling with the specific user rights groups. Beeblebrox (talk) 18:08, 21 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Obvious socks are obvious. I've already taken the appropriate actions here. --MuZemike 15:44, 26 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Pretty sure that Defenseforchicken is a sock account created to harass User:Gadfium based on the following edits: Here, ApoGnosis berates Gadfium for reverting his fringe theories, as well as [1] and [2]. Soon thereafter, Defenseforchicken, an SPA account with no prior edits, makes accusations at AN/I against Gadfium of harassment. Here and here on the 'crat board. The obvious sock is blocked; the checkuser request is to verify whether it is the same person as ApoGnosis, and whether there are any other accounts involved being used abusively to sockpuppet edit on fringe theories on the Apollo landing. ⇒SWATJester Son of the Defender 17:29, 26 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Additionally I should point out the logical error in that Defenseforchicken claims in his very first edit to be harassed on Wikipedia. Which begs the question; how, if he is a brand new account that had not made any edits before that accusation? It's pretty much an admission of socking. The question is confirming the sockmaster, since the accounts are being used to harass an administrator. ⇒SWATJester Son of the Defender 17:34, 26 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Stale case for posterity.

Maxviwe asks a question [3] of User:DoRD. After the reply, 203.109.74.195 adds his own input. Maxviwe voices his support at an RfA. 203.109.74.195 drops in and changes several opposes to supports, twice.

Then 219.91.143.167 claims he is Maxviwe and alerts DoRD for good measure. Marcus Qwertyus (talk) 13:17, 10 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
