Rms125a@hotmail.com (3rd)[edit]

Rms125a@hotmail.com is community banned. This edit to Marjorie Tuite is very similar to RMS style edits, and the unusual link format ([1]) make me think the page was created by an RMS sockpuppet to begin with, and the article was definitely edited by RMS as an IP here. His editing habits always lead him back to pages he has edited before, and the Alasdair MacGilleMhìcheil account has edited articles related to Irish republicanism, which are frequent RMS targets.

Please also see Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/O'Donoghue which is also related to this editor. One Night In Hackney303 20:46, 24 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

comment : In my experience of dealing with RMS socks, I can say with almost certainty that Alasdair MacGilleMhìcheil (talk · contribs) is a sock. However, I have my doubts about Mustique (talk · contribs) - Alison ☺ 22:19, 24 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Rms125a@hotmail.com (2nd)[edit]

Rms125a@hotmail.com is community banned. The new editor has thesame editing style on Tim Pat Coogan and other articles, including this and this. There's also an ANI report regarding this. Normally I'd say the WP:DUCK test applies, but I'll be tagging any new pages the editor has created with ((db-banned)) so a checkuser is needed.

Note : Isn't Rms125a@hotmail.com (who is probably getting spammed mercilessly) waaaaaaay too stale to check? Or are you hoping that someone might have logs on Rms's IPs? ~Crazytales 18:46, 15 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
It probably is too stale to check, but the more recent checkuser listed above isn't. I did ask Jpgordon which checkuser I should use in future, and he said this one. As the community ban is under the Rms125a@hotmail.com name it seems to be the path of least resistance. I did just post on a clerk's page here saying this may be surplus to requirements now anyway.

New sock added for checking also, created since the community ban. One Night In Hackney303 07:17, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for responding about that, didn't realise that there were some fresh socks. ~Crazytales 02:18, 17 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

 Additional information needed: the Rms125a@hotmail.com account is indeed stale. I'll need a recent confirmed IP or account to check the others against. Dmcdevit·t 17:21, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/O'Donoghue checkuser listed above is recent with confirmed socks. One Night In Hackney303 17:34, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Recent socks, but none confirmed as Rms125a@hotmail.com, unless I am reading it wrong. Dmcdevit·t 17:39, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
None confirmed by checkuser as Rms125a@hotmail.com, but they are confirmed by the duck test, if you need any more information to confirm this please advise. Thanks. One Night In Hackney303 17:42, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Well, then it is  Confirmed that these two match the O'Donoghue socks, though CheckUser can't directly determine whether that is Rms or not. Dmcdevit·t 18:24, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]


Rms125a@hotmail.com[edit]

This account has the same editing patterns as indefinitely blocked User:Rms125a@hotmail.com -- notably accusations of censorship[2], inserting external links in the format "(see [[3]])" or "(as per [[4]])", a free email address as their username, assumption of a fake "Irish-American" persona (just like other confirmed Rms125a socks User:Brandubh Blathmac and User:AodhBlathmac@eirelover.net) and referring to Wikipedia articles as "wikipages". They're now edit-warring to insert the same (incorrect) fact as this edit. See Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Rms125a@hotmail.com for the history of this user.

Also note that the suspected sock claims to be located in Springfield -- Rms's anonymous IPs were mostly located in New York or in Kinko's copy shops. Demiurge 14:20, 13 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Rms' last edit was two months ago, although you might be able to ufind another of his sockpuppets. Will (message me!) 19:39, 13 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
See also Category:Suspected_Wikipedia_sockpuppets_of_Rms125a@hotmail.com and Category:Wikipedia_sockpuppets_of_Rms125a@hotmail.com. He's been pretty active since the ban - Ali-oops✍ 20:11, 13 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

 Possible. I don't have any records to check against directly, but the suspected sockpuppet category includes enough IPs for a possible. If anyone has specific IP evidence (like a previous checkuser result that included the IPs used), bring it up here, and I'll check back against it. Mackensen may also be able to help, as he's confirmed some of the socks before. Essjay (Talk • Connect) 06:45, 14 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
