Ascii002

18 May 2014
Suspected sockpuppets
  • Edit pattern on Araniko Television, and editing across usertalks.
  • Claims to have both created more accounts including User:Anamol Sapkota [1]
    • Previously claimed not having connection
  • Claim of creating more than those accounts
  • Accounts used to edit the same article
  • COI or copyright issue due to conflicting claims (details on User Talk:Ascii002)
  • Contravention is trying to evade patrolling on new articles and scrutiny of multiple accounts, failing to disclose possible COI/autobiography/disruptive editing, autopatrolled rejected (plus allowed selective blanking of userpage in attempt to hide issues).

  • Possibly not the sockmaster
    • Edit pattern indicates not a new editor (as claimed), but no disclosure of previous accounts despite request
    • Pattern indicates possible coordination with more accounts on articles edited by this account which have similar issues (poorly sourced article creation/promo/COI)
      • E.g. blocked account User:NKTO
      • others

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments
I replied that I had created one account ( which may be either with the name Anamol Sapkota, or acii002 or coolboyas) which i use in other sites too. But, I have not used that account yet. I am using only this account which i created the same day after I forgot my password. About my editting style, I am a new editor as i have told in my user page and learning reading the edits made by other users. I had said I had no connection wih User:Anamol Sapkota because i didn't knew it was the user account made by me or not. I am a new editor and didn't knew I couldnot make two accounts. But, I knew it now. I promise that i wouldn't commit the same mistake again. I have no connection with the blocked user User:NKTO.

Check my Facebook profile which also uses the same username as: Ascii002.ASCII-002 I NotifyOnline 00:06, 19 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

*Editor is still editing with both accounts, even after leaving that comment above ([2])
*Cross posted comments on talk pages of both accounts [3] make out a conversation between two people, although it is the same editor. That doesn't fit explanation above. Widefox; talk 08:17, 19 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I don't remember having cross comments though I can see them on my talk page. Also, I wouldn't be editting from two accounts as I don't want to be blocked from editing wikipedia articles after leaving this comment. Also, I am unable to open that account as I have already told you that I forgot its password.ASCII-002 I NotifyOnline 08:31, 19 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
