Evidence

All of them have identical styles of writing, interpreting Wikipedia policies, and contributions such as to

Talk:Transsexualism

, and some Australian Christianity articles. The IPs are both blocked due to edit warring and abusive sockpuppetry. Polygamy4, x4, and istx4 linger on inappropriate username as well.

Comments

Yawn. (It's 10:30 PM where I live right now.) It's painfully obvious that these are all the same user, based on the similar usernames and editing patterns. All accounts should be blocked indefinitely. The self-identification of this person as a polygamist is a borderline violation of username policy, and if this person ever returns, he should create a name that does not involve polygamy.

Whats wrong with that, you dont have a problem going around telling everyone your are a jew? Its old accounts that stopped working because of passwords screwing up. I just have one account this one and only use one at a time. If you persectute me, ill just have to change ips (takes about 5 minutes) then odviously create a new id completely different(Hiding myself) instead of being open (which is not a sock puppet) then I wont be able to go to certain pages so will have to work on ones I really dont care about and just give up on contributing worth while editing this blog site just for fun and justice--Polygamistx4 03:21, 1 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Your IP sockpuppets are both blocked (block evasion, which is against the rules). It would still be ban evasion. And

Wikipedia is not a blog. Dtm142 03:28, 1 October 2007 (UTC)[reply

Yes but if you delete an account which im contriubiting with because of you funfair and biased against me, what can i do. Your choice.--Polygamistx4 04:50, 1 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Conclusions

First let me say that there's nothing here (other than perhaps evading 3RR) that constitutes

forbidden sockpuppetry. That said, I am blocking Polygamistx4 as almost all of his contributions are to talk pages, and he admittedly is treating Wikipedia as a discussion/debate site instead of an encyclopedia. There are legions of other sites that do serve that purpose. Wikipedia does not. As to the other accounts with forgotten passwords, I won't block those unless they begin editing again. Just drop a note by my talk page, please.--Chaser - T 08:31, 1 October 2007 (UTC)[reply
