These accounts have all been editing Jewish Internet Defense Force and could be considered single purpose accounts. See recent history of the article in particular. Obaminator (talk) 19:20, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Note: These appear to be Obaminator (talk · contribs)'s only edits in listing and filing this RfCU. D.M.N. (talk) 19:23, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Einsteindonut appears to be linked to the Jewish Internet Defense Force which attempted recently to "out" at least one established Wikipedia editor. I'm not interested in having my account added to their list of Wikipedia-related targets so I've opened this alternate account which is permitted under the rules.

Note: User:PeterBergson and User:Wikifixer911 have been blocked as sockpuppets of User:Einsteindonut. — Malik Shabazz (talk · contribs) 03:01, 8 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
User:Saxophonemn was also blocked by FayssalF as a sockpuppet of Einsteindonut, via proxy. I've added them to the list above. See also this post at ANI. UltraExactZZ Claims ~ Evidence 17:16, 8 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Confirmed - the following as being one editor:
  1. Einsteindonut (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)
  2. Wikifixer911 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)
  3. PeterBergson (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)
  4. Saxophonemn (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)
FayssalF has already dealt with these. Just confirming the result here.
I can't find much to tie the two Hoffer accounts together, though. They appear to be in different locations - Alison ❤ 04:42, 9 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Alison, hi. Are you saying the two Hoffer accounts are not linked to each other, nor to any of the others? Thanks. Take care, HG | Talk 15:44, 9 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I've just reviewed all this case again per Einsteindonut's request in private. Einsteindonut uses 2 IP ranges. Alison, one of them (the second if you check the data results again) is the one used by J Hoffer. Could you please check again? Thanks. -- fayssal / Wiki me up® 08:37, 11 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
User:J Hoffer appears to be blocked and I'm wondering whetehr this is a mistake. I'm interrested in this so I know if and where to add the id to the IPCOLL Battle page.--Peter cohen (talk) 18:03, 9 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Can someone also check Oboler (talk+ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log · CA · CheckUser(log) · investigate · cuwiki) against Einsteindonut and the other socks? Oboler and Einsteindonut both edit the Jewish Internet Defense Force article extensively and argue on Talk:Jewish Internet Defense Force in a mutually supportive fashion. The JIDF website refers to Andre Oboler numerous times as well as Andre Oboler's website Zionism on the Web and Einsteindonut and the JIDF website have both extensively discussed the removal of links to the ZOTW website from Wikipedia and taken various measures to try to have those links restored. Obaminator (talk) 20:37, 12 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

They're obviously allies but their conduct is rather different. Of course, other people may wonder who you are.--Peter cohen (talk) 23:05, 12 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, I've had it brought to my attention why people may not want to have themselves named and shamed on a certain attack site. However, it appears that you are trying to equate identified individuals with hugely contrasted personal histories. It appears that anyone taking a line in the article that you don't like is automatically seen as a sockpuppet. If one is definitively pinned down as Mr Donut, then they will be laid open to just the same sort of attacks by opponents as you are afraid might happen to you.--Peter cohen (talk) 01:10, 13 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I totally echo Peter's comments here. It is clear they are not the same. I've just blocked your account. Creating sockpuppet accounts to question other people's accounts is not a valid excuse. fayssal / Wiki me up® 03:09, 13 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
