- Evidence
There have been several times in editing pages that he has come up against another editor. He was [1] (broken link - because page was deleted?) fighting a deletion nomination against an article he created) and used a different account to cirvumvent Wikipedia policy. This is pretty egregious and I warned him. [2]
During another drawn out incident he was reported at WP:ANI for disruptive editing on Rage Against the Machine. [3] During that report he used all his suspected accounts to remove the report and leave misleading edit summaries stating that the issue was resolved.
Here are some diffs for the vandalism to the WP:ANI report that day
[4] A State Of Trance [5] A State Of Trance [6] Alexander Vince [7] Tiesto
The most recent event is from today. He's again using the multiple accounts to try to get his way. This happened on United States.
[8] Tiesto [9] A state of trance [10] Alexander Vince [11] Tiesto
- Conclusions
I asked the user to stop socking and encouraged him to learn some policy. I suggest we close this and just keep an eye on him for a while. If he keeps socking after this, then we can come back here. SunDragon34 (talk) 06:32, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
