Evidence

LightSpeed and LightSpeed3 are POV-pushing on Earth Hour. They removed Google's participation in Earth Hour by removing a whole section of the article [1] [2] [3] despite the fact that the community discussed and decided to shorten but keeping the section (per Talk:Earth Hour#Black google). Furthermore, in the same talk page, when I was curious and ask if LightSpeed and LightSpeed3 are related, LightSpeed removed my comment completely.[4]

Recently, both are actively editing in high schools in Miami.[5][6]

Additionally, I suspect LightSpeed has a hibernating sockpuppet (LightSpeed2). This evidence is weak because LightSpeed2 has not been editing since August 2007. However, they share common interests. Both were editing Curtis (50 Cent album) near the end of August 2007.

Comments

im not a sockpuppet, i didnt do anything against the rules. I feel this is frivolous because my main goal in that "earth hour" edit was to remove biased section, which is contradicting the allegations that i am "pov-pushing." Next, I feel that the use of multiple accounts here doesnt make a difference. I could have made the edits with 1 account, theres not reason for this sock puppet allegation. Also, Removing the google section was justified because Google isnt above all other websites, it didnt deserve its own section. If the google section is truly unbiased, then why doesnt each tv channel get its own section? The google section isnt even descriptive. Whats a google homepage? Why must it be asssumed that the reader automatically what google is? Because of wikipedia:bias. why isnt there a "website" section and not just google? Because its biased, therefore since my deletion is justified, Im not a sockpuppet (using alternate account for deceptive purposes). LightSpeed (talk) 00:46, 6 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You were completely disobeying the community consensus established in the talk page. That's all it matters. OhanaUnited^{Talk page} 06:01, 6 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Lightspeed and Lightspeed 3 seem pretty evidently to be socks. Lightspeed 2 probably but as no edits since 8/08... OhanaUnited's comment re 'all that matters' is questionable. 81.159.211.87 (talk) 06:27, 6 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The user LightSpeed keeps vandalizing articles and deleting information that he feels that is irrelevant. Please cease and desist your constant destructive edits on information that is relevant to the article. Furthermore, he doesn't even use proper punctuation and grammar.

Youre the one vandalizing. Read what I remove. Sorry but praise and POV do not belong in an encyclopedia article. Skillz is referring to my edits in the dr michael krop high school article where i remove all the unimportant news pieces as well. LightSpeed (talk) 01:43, 8 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Seems like I'm not the only person who thinks LightSpeed is destructive. And just to add, LightSpeed is using multiple accounts to get around 3RR. OhanaUnited^{Talk page} 19:33, 8 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see a 3RR/EW notification on any of the pages, so perhaps it was innocent. --Relata refero (disp.) 19:28, 9 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Are you kidding me, I wouldn't mind logging in 1 account and doing the changes i do. The only reason this happened was because i dont have cookies enabled, therefore i just log in whichever account i type in. (random) LightSpeed (talk) 23:12, 8 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Any reason why you don't mention your other accounts front and centre on your talkpage/userpage? --Relata refero (disp.) 19:28, 9 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No specific reason i didnt know you had to do that LightSpeed (talk) 02:20, 10 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Conclusions

LightSpeed is being deceptive and abusing WP:SOCK. He's blocked 48 hours and his socks indef as well as advised to stick to one account. — Rlevse • Talk • 02:24, 10 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
