[edit] Rickyboy

Does Rickyboy (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · block user · block log) look like an earlier incarnation? He was blocked indefinitely July 2005 for copyvios. -Will Beback 05:29, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

See also: Wikipedia:Account suspensions/Rickyboy, which mentions Richardr443 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · block user · block log). And this AN/I section. Will Beback 06:30, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

Ah, here's the confirmation. "...the word encyclopedia comes from the Greek words enkyklios paideia, meaning general or well-rounded education..." [1][2]. -Will Beback 06:39, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Shortcut created: WP:'T

I could not use WP:PT because it was already used. I came up with this one because the apostrophe can be used in mathematics to mean "prime". Jesse Viviano 21:26, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

HeH, I thought it was an industry lingo thing... 68.39.174.238 18:43, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Yahh OOO!¡!

Primetime's noxious pupet on es ("El Periodico") has been blocked! 68.39.174.238 01:09, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] List Expert

It appears to me that List Expert (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · block user · block log) and List Expert2 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · block user · block log) are Primetime socks. Before his banning Primetime was active in trying to find loopholes to preserve lists from deletion, and L.E.'s campaign to rename slang "lists" to "glossaries" appears consistent with that effort. Also, L.E. has no previous edit hsitory, so he is apparently the sock of someone. The accounts may have gone dormant, but I've asked for a response. -Will Beback 04:49, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "HQCentral"

If that's really him, he's uploaded a LOAD of images on Commons... 68.39.174.238 06:13, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

Yeah. I've posted a note on http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Administrators'_noticeboard/User_problems explaining the matter. -Will Beback · † · 07:34, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
Well, it's been confirmed, almost all of his uploads are blatant plagairism. Most are up for deletion now. 68.39.174.238 22:42, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
They've all be deleted except for two, which might actually be free. 68.39.174.238 20:56, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] How many...

...sockpuppets do we need to list? Some of the IPs definitely, the categories certainly, but all those wiktionary accounts? 68.39.174.238 (talk) 02:35, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

Given his tireless nature, yeah, we do need to keep track. --Calton | Talk 02:39, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
