User:Ottawaman
- Suspected sockpuppeteer
Neutralizer (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · page moves · block user · block log) Comment: This user is probably the puppeteer as this account predates the rest. Additionally, this user was community banned from Wikinews for the same behaviour as has occurred here. Wikinews userpage Wikinews block log. Addit: Neutralizer as puppetmaster appears to be confirmed by his announcement of Canuckster's retirement here, a replica of a comment posted by numerous sockpuppets, as confirmed by CU, throughout the period of December 20 on ANI and VPP.

- Evidence
Methodology has a history of disputatious edits on Talk:Michael Ignatieff. Now appearing at a cinema near you on Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Sarah Ewart. Looks like sockpuppetry to me, and I don't see why a respected contributor should be dragged through this when as far as I can see she has done right. --Guinnog 00:58, 8 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Although that was deleted, we now have Wikipedia:Requests for mediation/Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.
Canuckster checkuser by Essjay found "a conclusion of sockpuppetry is probable based on the technical evidence." [1] Sarah Ewart 23:46, 17 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
