Evidence

These anons have been harassing me for the past couple of days, vandalizing pages in my userspace (, , , , , , ) and maliciously changing comments I have made in AfDs and on AN/I (, , , , , ) and making abusive responses to some of my comments in the AN/I thread on Obuibo Mbstbo (). Looking through the contributions, you will see a whole host of other abusive edits as well.

I believe these are linked to Fredrick day for the following reasons:

For obvious reasons, the individual is undoubtedly someone who has been involved in the Obuibo Mbstbo thread on AN/I.
The individual has a good understanding of the inner workings of Misplaced Pages. According to , Fredrick day has nearly 6000 edits in 14 months of editing, including over 1400 in the project and project talk namespaces; additionally, his very first edit makes it clear that he was already then very familiar with how Misplaced Pages works (), with references to "original research" and "third party verifiable sources". Yes, this is true of just about everyone else who has been involved in the OM ordeal, but there's more to narrow it down:
The individual tends to be more disposed to deleting articles that don't meet certain standards than I do. Fredrick day's user page is essentially a shrine to Misplaced Pages's deletion process, and as mentioned above the anon editor targeted many of my comments in AfD discussions.
As of this writing Fredrick day's user account has been inactive since Thursday evening, March 20th, and the anons have been active ever since.
The individual has made a couple of suspicious posts regarding Fredrick day, or has specifically targeted his vandalism towards comments of mine that referenced Fredrick day (, , , )
The individual has a specific bone to pick against me, as his efforts have been targeted at me alone. I have had serious disagreements with many others in this case, including Equazcion (talk · contribs), Blueboy96 (talk · contribs), Friday (talk · contribs), Rodhullandemu (talk · contribs), and Black Kite (talk · contribs). We have been able to keep these disagreements non-personal, though, and I think everyone realizes that we all have the same goal in mind; we just differ in how to approach it. Black Kite and Rodhullandemu have been extremely helpful in dealing with this spate of vandalism, Friday has defended me in the past and I've seen enough of him to know that he's flat-out above this. The other two I will explain later. However, I did chastise Fredrick day for his approach to removing obvious constructive edits made by OM's socks while they were blocked; the initial attacks began shortly after one of those posts.
The IP addresses used by the anon all belong to Europe's IP address allocation agency, and Blueboy96 and Equazcion both are in the United States. Thus, the only user I have had a serious disagreement with in this matter who is unaccounted for is Fredrick day. Though he has not (to my knowledge) ever stated his location explicitly, a couple of days before these attacks began he mentioned on my talk page that he had been raised in a totalitarian state ()--perhaps this was a Warsaw Pact nation, which were all indeed located in Europe.

Comments

Guilty as charged and I'd like another 82 offences to be taken into consideration. However as a minor point, it's not that I was sockpuppeting - I've abandoned the Fredrick day account as I can best do what I do using an IP address, I've only logged in to make this statement. --Fredrick day 13:09, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
