Evidence submitted by Stephan Schulz

All three users listed as socks simulate or repeat edits and edit comments made by User: William M. Connolley (if in different contexts). The first two one also contain references to this user in the user name (VLB->WMC, Stoat is WMC's off-wiki blog). The edits are certainly made by a user with significant Wikipedia-experience. User:GoRight is currently banned and blocked. However, he comments off-wiki about User:VLB Pocketspup here. I find the story presented there implausible - it's much more likely that he actually created the sock, or at least has independent knowledge about it. Please check any connections between the three listed accounts. I suspect User: GoRight is stale - if not, please consider my hypothesis. --Stephan Schulz (talk) 23:22, 13 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Added User:SafelyAnonymous, who now tries to pass off the fake socks as real socks via Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/William M. Connolley. --Stephan Schulz (talk) 00:56, 14 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
