- Evidence
Jsb394 is a representative of One Economy Corporation. They confirmed that they were 208.118.160.122, which is registered to One Economy Corporation. They created Rey Ramsey and Alec Ross (Social Entrepreneur). Several days after they their COI came to light, they stopped editing. Later the same day the new editor Mosquito0016 started editing the One Economy Corporation related articles. Almost all of the Mosquito0016 edits have been to these articles. In this edit, Mosquito0016 added a cite web to the ref http://www.one-economy.org/about/history.asp. Mosquito0016 listed the author as Austin Bonner, but the page has no mention of an author. Austin Bonner is an employee of the One Economy Corporation, another employee of One Economy Corporation would probably know that she wrote that page. Mosquito0016 left messages to explain their editing of the One Economy Corporation related pages [1] [2]. Mosquito0016 also removed the COI tags from the articles.
- Comments
I don't have any connection with jsb394, nor with One Economy. I clearly explained my intent before editing each article on the discussion page. All I did to the articles was add all the legitimate sources I could find, delete them and me for all I care: my experience editing these articles has made Wikipedia an enemy of sorts in my mind. Everything I do I am hounded by people, left and right. All I did was recreate a functioning article devoid of COI, what more can I do? The articles I remade are not stubs, they are not in any sort of conflict, but yet I continue to get warnings every other day and passive aggressive pre-made threats. I am sorry I ever tried to help with your encyclopedia. I can promise you this, I will never, ever, in my entire life, use Wikipedia again, because what you're doing to me right now is like a strange and difficult torture, slowly expelling me from your system like an unwanted turd, a product of constipation. I obviously have nothing to contribute, I feel supremely worthless in the face of your incredibly bureaucratic community matrices, in short I'd rather die than continue to suffer the digital jabs and prods of your users. I thank you for letting me try to help and I beg you, delete my account so I don't have to read any more of your exasperating warnings.Mosquito0016 (talk) 05:42, 7 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- I'm going to send this to checkuser. My own instinct is that this is sockpuppetry, but I think if the checkuser comes back positive, then the main account should also be subjected to RTV, i.e. indef-blocked. Shalom (Hello • Peace) 19:15, 12 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Checkuser Confirmed. note that indefblock != RTV. RTV is a courtesy reserved for user in good standing. -- lucasbfr talk 09:37, 13 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Conclusions
Per the results of Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/Jsb394, I am going to indef block both accounts since they have only been used for disruption. Jehochman Talk 17:19, 13 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
