Oops, just noticed the post is signed as Davkal, making this an easy case! The language in the post is also problematic (to say the least...) Jay*Jay (talk) 13:39, 17 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Does this mean that someone will block this sock and add it to the Davkal list? Sorry, new to RfCU and unsure what happens. Jay*Jay (talk) 17:23, 17 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
User(s) blocked. - given the evidence and the self-admission, I've gone ahead and blocked that account - Alison 18:45, 17 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

New user appeared on User:Raymond arritt/Expert withdrawal with a longstanding grudge. Matches Davkal's POV, pattern, and approach. This one is quacking quite loudly, but I'd like to see if there's technical confirmation with Davkal or any of his other confirmed socks, as well as pick up any sleepers.

Davkal

  • Code letter: E

Davkal is currently blocked 24 hours for 3RR. During this block the account Baaderthanmeinhof did a revert several versions back to Davkal's last version. This is the only edit by that account, and the account was created hours after Davkal was issued a one week block (during which time he may to have done IP sockpupptry as appears in the report below - looks like he created a sock account then but decided to IP edit instead, and now has used that account for sock puppetry).

Reverts that got Davkal blocked:

Davkal

On September 10, during a bitter dispute between User:Davkal and the other editors at CSICOP, Davkal lost his cool (over a different article)[4] so completely that I blocked him for one week.[5] He reacted to the block with further disgustingness.[6] Today an anon with plenty of previous vandalism warnings, 170.3.8.253, vandalized CSICOP in a rather elaborate manner[7] consistent with Davkal's POV and his recent disgustingness. Mike Christie, who has been mediating the conflict, has told me[8] that he thinks the circumstances suggestive enough to warrant a checkuser, with a view to a possible longer block for Davkal. (Incidentally I'd also appreciate advice on whether the IP can be blocked for longer than the present 24 hours.) Bishonen | talk 16:27, 11 September 2006 (UTC).[reply]

 Clerk note: The IP is registered to the New York State Dept of Transportation. It is likely it is someone's desktop PC. (Although it could be a division pool.) I suspect blocking will affect very few users. Thatcher131 (talk) 16:35, 11 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! I've re-blocked the IP for two weeks. Bishonen | talk 16:50, 11 September 2006 (UTC).[reply]

I think we're done here. Mackensen (talk) 16:26, 12 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
