History of user originally known as User:Vinay412 and most recently known as User:Lara bran - wikilink summary

Timeline of account creations and blocking/unblocking

Note that this timeline does not include most contribution related issues such as edit warring, abusive behaviour, etc. Not all refused unblock requests have been included at this stage, either.

  • 2nd February 2007 - IP address 202.41.72.100 blocked for one month by Sir Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington - Your shared IP has been abused.
  • 17th May 2007:
    • User:Vinay412 blocked for one week by Kinu (talk · contribs) for Trolling, WP:POINT: creation of AfD nomination at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Wikipedia.
      • Reasons behind block documented at [1], which also explains subsequent extension of block to 2 weeks.
    • IP address 202.41.72.100 blocked for one week by Kinu - Disruptive; IP of User:Vinay412, no evidence this block will result in collateral damage.
  • 23rd May 2007 - First contributions from User:Racky pt. Notably, first 3 edits were at ANI. At this point, this sock puppet was actively evading a block.

Note: at this point, the user was evading a 2-week block using one sockpuppet account, User:Racky pt and had a 2nd, User:Lara bran, created but not yet used. This after being warned about potentially being blocked indefinitely for further use of sockpuppets. No connection to Kuntan (talk · contribs) had been suggested at this point.

  • 7th June 2007:
    • Accounts User:Vinay412, User:Racky pt blocked indefinately by Sir Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington - mistakenly identified as socks of User:Kuntan based on edit patterns.
    • (Note: Account User:Lara bran remained unblocked.)
  • 10th June 2007 - User:Lara bran started editing. This account initially kept a very low profile.
  • 15th June 2007 - IP address 202.41.72.100 blocked for one month by Sir Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington - Your shared IP has been abused.
  • 11th July 2007 - First noticably controversial edits by User:Lara bran. Merged Mating into Sexual intercourse without any prior discussion.
  • 2nd August - User:Miyamw began editing, starting by pasting an old version of an AfD'd article over a redirect.

  • 18th September 2007 - User:Lara bran unblocked by Sir Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington - Proved by email not to be Kuntan, promised to behave.
  • 29th October 2007 - User:Lara bran blocked indefinately by Neil (talk · contribs) - kuntan sock, had been unblocked on a final chance after promises of good behaviour which have not been kept

Sockpuppet cases

Confession of puppets

In User talk:Lara bran/Archive 1#Unblock, the following list of sock accounts is confessed outright:

Possible suspect accounts

The following accounts have edited in the same areas as Vinay412, but have not edited enough to establish whether they are sockpuppets of this user or not. Some are not currently active.

Note that the following list is not confirmed sockpuppets. There is no assumption of bad faith by their presence on this list. It is simply a list of accounts whose contributions may warrant watching in case they become obvious as sockpuppets of the indefinately blocked user. I've also started adding pointers on similarities that have led me to add them here.

If you are aware of any such accounts that should be added here, please let me know.
