- Supporting evidence: Prisongangleader was blocked earlier as a suspected sock puppet or otherwise disruptive single purpose account. Before being blocked, he made several edits to Wikipedia_talk:Article_Rescue_Squadron regarding a merger dispute. Some time after being blocked, an IP editor logged on and made two edits to Wikipedia_talk:Article_Rescue_Squadron, restoring previously archived material. The edit summary from the IP uses the word "bent" specifically to refer to the action of archiving. This same word was used in talk here. The IP edit summary is here. The odds of this being a different editor seem low to me.
While I don't approve of the ban on the user, I don't feel that it should be evaded in this fashion, thus, I am requesting a checkuser on Prisongangleader and a check IP on 87.114.2.150. Thank you. Protonk (talk) 03:13, 27 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Please note that the editor in question was blocked as likely sock of Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/Fredrick day. --Happy editing! Sincerely, Le Grand Roi des CitrouillesTally-ho! 03:27, 27 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- 87.112-87.115 is a common IP range for Fredrick day, but others have been used as well. See Wikipedia talk:Suspected sock puppets/Fredrick day for a list. I reviewed the contributions of Prisongangleader and I concur with the conclusion that behaviorally, this editor resembled Fredrick day and, as newly registered but showing familiarity with arcane process, suspicion that he is a block evader was quite reasonable. In fact, "Prison gang leader" was a blatant reference to an AN/I comment of mine, 15:48, 21 July 2008.[1] Prisongangleader registered 10:54, 22 July 2008. I consider the identification conclusive. JzG was correct to block this account. Should this request be merged with Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/Fredrick day? --Abd (talk) 14:35, 27 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Since this was registered today, I thought I'd add User:Frederick day, above. I'm not really sure checkuser is needed for any of this, but I'll leave that to CU discretion.--Abd (talk) 19:50, 27 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Supporting evidence:
- In User:87.114.2.150 first edit to the same page where User:Prisongangleader was arguing, Wikipedia talk:Article Rescue Squadron, User:87.114.2.150 uses the exact same word "bent":
- "That's fairly bent" [2] just like User:Prisongangleader does,
- "Co-opping people into your project seems a little bent to me"
- User:87.114.2.150 picked up with the same exact arguments as User:Prisongangleader.
- Keep in mind that User:87.114.2.150 two contributions:
- (00:50, 27 July 2008) (00:47, 27 July 2008)
- ...were after User:Prisongangleader was indefinitely banned on (18:59, 26 July 2008),[3] so even if User:Prisongangleader is not User:Frederick day, User:87.114.2.150/User:Prisongangleader was still violating his indefinete block.

- Prisongangleader is certainly a Confirmed sockpuppet of Fredrick Day. That exact IP has no registered editors on it, but I would tend to draw the same conclusion based on behavior and on what is publicly known about Fredrick Day's IPs. Thatcher 22:43, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
