[WikiEN-l] Completely unreasonable block and behavior by admin friends of Itaqallah to win a content dispute

Wed Dec 13 03:18:18 UTC 2006

For those keeping up on this, the checkuser results have come in (see 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_checkuser/Case/RunedChozo). 
I will also copy the comment I made to [[WP:ANI]]:

    The results of the checkuser have come in with the conclusion being
    /possible/. Nevertheless, let me make a case for why the IP address
    in question that led to the extended block is most likely RunedChozo

    First, note the previous request for checkuser that came back
    confirmed. The IP address from that confirmed checkuser request
    comes from Houston, Texas (see WHOIS lookup
    <http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools/whois.ch?ip=129.7.35.126>). Both IP
    addresses part of the more recent checkuser (the one the ended as
    only /possible/) come from Houston as well (see WHOIS lookup one
    <http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools/whois.ch?ip=70.114.237.14> and two
    <http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools/whois.ch?ip=70.114.236.109>). As
    stated already, the rhetoric from RunedChozo

    (talk <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:RunedChozo> • contribs

    70.114.237.14
    <http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:70.114.237.14&action=edit>

    are quite similar (note the reference to the talk page being
    protected, as well as the /tool/ accusations). One editor on the
    English Wikipedia mailing list noted that 70.114.237.14
    <http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:70.114.237.14&action=edit>

    <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/70.114.237.14>)'s
    edit times don't match up with those of RunedChozo
    <http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:RunedChozo&action=edit>
    (talk <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:RunedChozo> • contribs

    Perhaps that is correct, but it does not seem unreasonable, in my
    opinion, for someone to be editing around 11:30pm and 12:30am,
    especially if a user is angry and passionately wants to say something.

    So, it is possible that 70.114.237.14

    and RunedChozo

    (talk <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:RunedChozo> • contribs
    <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/RunedChozo>) are
    just both especially anti-Muslim editors who happen to both live
    near Houston, edit similar articles, and use similar types of
    statements. However, I am convinced, without reservation, that the
    users are one and the same. -- *tariqabjotu
