Evidence

User G-Dett has made 6 edits in 24hrs and a 3RR notice was placed, by me, on his page (without a pursue of a block). after the notice was made, a new anon. editor appeared on the article and made the "Reverting to NPOV version by G-Dett" and a "This version is unnacceptable" commentary which reminds of language used by G-Dett before about "red lines; anything crossing them will be reverted". also, the timing of the edits, at 22:59 and 23:13 revols closely to 23:10, the time in which G-Dett issued his apology to the 3RR note.

Comments

• user PalestneRemebered is mentioned as a secondary suspect (with very weak evidnce) only based on the footnotes that he was just recently assigned a mentor, which should make him avoid open frontal conflicts with his user exposed and he has had a close relationship with the article.
  

note: if PR is unrelated to this issue, i plan on issuing an apology for the suggestion of his possible involvement. Jaakobou 02:22, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

• user CJCurrie is mentioned as a possible secondary suspect (with very weak evidence) due to some disruptive behavior (some very recent) on this article.

note: perhaps i'm over streaching the number of possible seconary suspects without real evidence, but this article has been a disaster to work on and i believe that a simple checkuser can find the culprit anon. abuser. Jaakobou 02:33, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

I congratulate Jaakabou on making one true statement, that Battle of Jenin has been a disaster to work on.

I hardly know what to add here. Jaakabou cannot fathom that three registered editors and one anon disagree with his edits and find his stated rationales unsatisfactory. That is the totality of his evidence. He realizes this is "very weak"; presumably he doesn't realize that it is also absurd, so he posts it here anyway. This is too idle and lackadaisical even to qualify as a conspiracy theory; it's just a waste of your time and mine. I encourage whoever is in charge here to do a checkuser and send the man on his way. May I ask that it not be back to Battle of Jenin, where he is making a mess of things.--G-Dett 03:09, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

I hate to dignify this nonsense with a response, but I should clarify that (i) I am not User:G-Dett or User:PalestineRemembered, and (ii) Jaakobou's accusations of "disruptive behaviour" ring more than a tad ironic. CJCurrie 03:18, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

Its more likely this is a sockpuppet of Burgas00 who was blocked for 48 hours than the suspects that Jaaka has posted. Kyaa the Catlord 04:06, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

you have a very good point, i can't believe i missed it. Jaakobou 07:40, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

Ah, yes, a very good point indeed. Another great hunch, another great gut feeling, another great lead. Yes, Burgas00 is a sock I've been knitting since March, having him edit on things like Llanito and Papiamento and Venezuelan Spanish, all in preparation for a moment like this when I really need him. The research into Romance philology and contemporary Spanish history was time-consuming, but it really paid off when I got to send Burgas00 to Kyaa the Catlord's user page to call that esteemed editor and sockpuppet detective a "fuckhead."

Sigh. By all means, go ahead and crank Burgas00's user name into the CU machine as well. In fact, crank in the name of every editor who has ever or will ever have the audacity to disagree with Detectives Jaakabou and Catlord.

While we're waiting for the machine to stop whirring and belch out '"UNRELATED", I'll take a small liberty due to me in light of this harassment. Burgas00's style is not my style, but I understand his frustration. These editors' contributions to Battle of Jenin have been, on the whole, every bit as frivolous, tendentious, and evidence-free as their posts to this page.--G-Dett 11:12, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

Your uncivil tone has been noted. Defensive much? Kyaa the Catlord 11:39, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

WP policy says one shouldn't feed trolls. G.K. Chesterton however said one shouldn't suffer fools gladly; one should rather enjoy them immensely. I try to chart a modest middle course between these two bits of wisdom.--G-Dett 12:16, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
