User talk:Hank

Case for why User:Hank is a sockpuppet of User:Stabber
Preface: I do not believe that User:Hank is active on guildwiki. This information is therefore of historical interest.


 * 1) Hank's major participation in this wiki is in arguing with PanSola about skill box templates. If we believe the reason in User:Hank for how he came to find the guildwiki, is it reasonable to assume that he would immediately jump into arguing about the arcana of our skill templates? By the way, Stabber had just finished doing a bot-based conversion of all skill articles to use the templates. As the only other person in the wiki who is that knowledgable about the skill templates is PanSola, it is really a stretch to imagine how Hank could have simply claimed expertise on this issue.
 * 2) His first edit, here uses the ips 64.90.179.108 and 62.118.249.75. Reverse lookup on both shows them to be Tor exit nodes. We know at least from the history of one of Stabber's confirmed IPs, 128.2.206.194, that he is aware of, and frequently uses, Tor.
 * 3) The first edit of 64.90 was to revert an article to the state Stabber left it in. Subsequently, user Hank and his IPs fought a mini edit war on Leviathan Pits/Quests.

Unlike User:Deldda Kcarc and others, the evidence here is not solid. I don't think solid evidence will be easy to obtain because of the nature of Tor. However, I hope I have provided sufficient grounds for strong suspicion of sockpuppetry. F G 16:51, 18 June 2006 (CDT)
