Sockmaster removed the Tamil name of the Sri Lankan president Mahinda Rajapaksa using his sock account User:Garuda92 on December 01, 2010 [1] (Tamil is an official language in Sri Lanka). Later he used his User:Magnocrusher2007 account to do multiple vandalism to the article of Sri Lankan President (Added various allegations against Sri Lankan president without using the talk page and removed the Tamil name once again) and used his major account User:Blackknight12 to safeguard his Vandalism [2]. User:InfinityLiger is also a suspected account of the same sockmaster.[3] -- LahiruG (talk) 08:30, 18 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I have an unused account that has been inactive since early 2009 called User talk:Blackknight, and it is clearly stated on my user page Blackknight12 at the bottom.

This claim to me being a sockpuppet is all a push by LahiruG to stop me from reverting his POV and biased edits on the article Mahinda Rajapaksa. It seems to have started when the user Fuzzbuzz made this edit adding information on the subject about alleged war crimes information leaked on Wikileaks. The amount added was just a sentence but is still classified as a constructive edit. The next couple of edits were LahiruG removing it with his summary being "No such section in George W. Bush article. Another war criminal according to Wikileaks." InfinityLiger has nothing to do with this besides making some corrections to the article. Magnocrusher2007 added the same thing as Fuzzbuzz but expanded on the topic and LahiruG yet again removing it and his summary being "No wikileaks sections in George W. Bush or in United States Army articles, so why only in this one?" It is obvious here that LahiruG is disregarding the principle of wikipedia and is doing all this because of what he believes and not what he can prove. I reverted his disruptive edits and again he reverted them back showing his pov and biased self, starting an edit war. "First add your wikileaks alleged war crimes sections to US, UK & to your Aussie leaders." After tagging his talk page for vandalism, which he removed calling it an "inapplicable message" he assumes that I am the user to these three accounts just because they all tried to do the right thing here.

I'm sure that Magnocrusher2007, Garuda92 and InfinityLiger would all say pretty much the same thing.--Blackknight12 (talk) 14:50, 18 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Nearly all of these accounts have been around for several years now, and Blackknight12 has more than 8000 edits. Further, it seems as though Mahinda Rajapaksa is being used as a battleground, so that makes it all the more difficult. If anything I'm inclined to add a checkuser to this, but I think more evidence is needed before jumping to that. — HelloAnnyong (say whaaat?!) 13:56, 18 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm closing this with no action. No further justification has been given as to how the editors could be the same, and the fact that this is about an article where there's an edit war involving all the editors makes me think this is sort of a bad faith case. — HelloAnnyong (say whaaat?!) 13:27, 19 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
