Gothic Hero (Sockpuppet Evidence)
editIn the case of this, Gothic Hero is a sock puppet of the user New Rock Star, who has been editing articles and inserting Uncited Original Research into articles.
An editoroial consensus has been reached on certain content on articles such as Gothic Metal, which the user completely dismissed and violated [1].
The user has also been removing Merger Templates for mergers that are being discussed [2][3], claiming it as vandalism that the merge tags are there.
The user first almost violated 3RR on the Classic Metal article with the name New Rock Star [4], [5], [6], and then went on to violate the 3RR openly, marking his reverts as minor and making Personal Attacks in the edit summaries [7], [8], [9], [10].
I had warned the user of this behaviour however on their talk page (visable here), which was completely ignored.
Its also intresting to note how the user proclaims they are new to Wikipedia [11], yet also already know all of Wikipedia's customs [12].
The account was also created on March 1st and has only been used for reverting articles in which New Rock Star has tried to push their POV onto despite editorial consensus [13].
I admit to violating 3RR due to this sock puppter, however, that was a ploy by New Rock Star, using a sock puppet to set me up to be banned for 3RR (New Rock Star logged the 3RR incident within 3 minutes of me violating 3RR by one revert under Gothic Hero).
On the 3RR board the user claimed when logging the 3RR, that i had been vandalisng pages such as Gothic Metal and Black Metal, calling people Morons, and mentioned an Arb Com case im involved in that someone who had only been using Wikipedia for an hour couldnt of known about [14].
However, this is wrong, as in regards to the comment about Oxymorons, i made this comment to New Rock Star in a edit summary before the Gothic Hero user existed [15]. In this case i also linked to Oxymoron so that the user could see for themselfs that this wasnt a personal attack, as the word moron is often used in a degrading manner, where as Oxtmoron is a statement that contradicts itself. So how could i have insulted Gothic Hero by calling him an 'Oxymoron', if i made the comment before he was registered on Wikipedia?
The user then went on to make such comments as Leyasu says that classic metal is not a genre of heavy metal music, when everyone knows that it infact is, and, And now he is trying to merge Pakistani black metal with Black metal, which has been discussed and Leyasu and his sockpuppets are the only user(s) who are supporting the merger, and Please block this user Leyasu, since he is likely to deliberately modify contents of other articles [16].
Accusing me of sock puppets on the black metal article is folly however, when many of the users involved all support merging or not merging for different reasons. Also, i refuse to remove a template when a merger is being discussed, simply because New Rock Star's sock puppet demands it as so.
In response to the claim of Leyasu says that classic metal is not a genre of heavy metal music, when everyone knows that it infact is, both articles Heavy metal music and List of heavy metal genres explicity state that it isnt a genre. Somewhat ironic that everyone knows it is when the main article and the list article both say it isnt.
He also made the comment He perfectly fits the definition of those Wikipedia users who think Wikipedia is their own site and forget that it is a public domain. I also find this ironic, when ive worked with several editors and im part of WP:HMM. Also, if my userpage is read, make no claims that Wikipedia is my own. I am also known for notifying people when they are acting Meglomanical, which is one thing ive been accused of as doing as a personal attack against one user in my arb com case who explicitly said people werent allowed to edit an article without his permission.
Also Gothic Hero went on to say Please block this user Leyasu, since he is likely to deliberately modify contents of other articles.. Wikipedia is a public domain as this user previously said. However, he is now asking for admins to be anyone who edits articles without his permission, which is oxymoronic, due to the fact he is accusing me of claiming ownership, yet he is trying to have me banned for editing articles.
The user then went on to claim User:Leyasu has again vandalised the Classic metal page. He deleted two sub-sections apart from putting "classical metal" instead of "classic metal" in a few sentences [17]. Gothic Hero here trys to claim that i vandalised the page by making a gramma mistake by putting Classical instead of Classic.
This is also strange, as i am vandalising the page by making a grammatical error, yet this user/sock puppet is violating the three core policys (WP:NOR, WP:NPOV, and WP:CITE). They also deliberatly make it very hard to abide by WP:BITE. Due to the constant reverting of the Classic Metal article however, i violated 3RR on a large scale. However, New Rock Star's use of sock puppets achieves nothing, when by doing what he did/is doing now, he violated WP:SOCK as well. That is, in total, a violation of 'six' Wikipedia policys, (WP:3RR, WP:BITE, WP:CITE, WP:NOR, WP:NPOV, WP:SOCK).
The user then went on to produce a comment from the talk page of Classic Metal to the 3RR board [18], in which he claims Both have mistakenly used "classical" metal. I do smell a rat here. User:marnues is a sockpuppet of User:Leyasu. This however is folly, to which i requested a check user [19].
Since the aboce comment, all edits have ceased from the user Gothic Hero [20]. Ironically, this pattern has been the same for New Rock Star, who has also stopped editing [21]. New Rock Stars edits however, ceased within 15 minutes of the creation of Gothic Hero sock puppet.
The Gothic-Hero sock puppet was also warned by an admin for their behaviour [22].
