Evidence

Fraberj (talk · contribs) has been indefinitely blocked for suspicion he used used one or more accounts abusively, albeit without a report at WP:SSP (or at least I can't find one). A related report can be found here. And I don't know how this factors in, but Category:Suspected Wikipedia sockpuppets of Fraberj could also prove useful.

This particular account started by removing a paragraph which another suspected Fraberj sockpuppet account removed previously. I reverted and referred to the talk page, and Rattler2 reverted without first discussing. Rattler2's edits to the talk page are strongly reminiscent of Fraberj's edits.

Likewise, his response to my explanation was a bit of a misdirected rant, reminiscent of what happened previously on the self-replicating machines talk page (another example: Talk:Self-replicating_machine/Archive_2#F-Unit_replacement_text).

Not sure if this is grounds for action yet, but I figured it was worth a shot since Rattler2 doesn't look like he wants to congenially discuss matters and come to a consensus. Then again, I'm going to keep assuming good faith and see if that gets us anywhere. I should note that Rattler2's other edits seem innocuous enough, though I find this diff interesting. -FrankTobia (talk) 12:40, 21 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

Erm, isn't this edit (5th paragraph) a bit of a giveaway? The public face of GBT/C 16:40, 23 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Definitely looks like it. Nice catch, I'm sorry I didn't find it first. -FrankTobia (talk) 18:58, 23 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Conclusions

Does not actually matter whether they are a sock. They are pushing Collin's POV which has long been discredited here. -- RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 14:48, 25 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
