Are you requesting checkuser attention to this investigation?

If you have requested that a checkuser supply information to this investigation, you must:

  1. explain how you know the accounts belong to one person
  2. explain how the accounts are being used abusively
  3. explain why CheckUser evidence is needed (in most cases it isn't)
  4. support your case using diffs: Clerks and checkusers will not do so for you!
If you do not clearly and adequately explain why you suspect sockpuppetry or you fail to provide supporting evidence, the investigation may be summarily closed (and the request for CheckUser will certainly be declined). For assistance, contact an SPI clerk.

You are about to undo an edit. Please check the comparison below to verify that this is what you want to do, then publish the changes below to finish undoing the edit.

There seems to be a pattern of edits attacking standards organization [[Accellera]] and related articles. All of their Accellera-related contribs were made during the first two weeks of September 2011. A breakdown shows:

*Pagetests9: Edited [[Accellera]] ([http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Accellera&diff=prev&oldid=448115280 diff]) adding a personal attack against UVM and OVM.

*Banksupper9: Changed all ocurrences of "Accellera" to "Deaccellera UVM" in [[Accellera]] ([http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Accellera&diff=prev&oldid=448100180 diff]), [[SystemVerilog]] ([http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=SystemVerilog&diff=prev&oldid=448071218 diff]) and [[Universal Verification Methodology]] ([http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Universal_Verification_Methodology&diff=prev&oldid=448098708 diff1] [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Universal_Verification_Methodology&diff=prev&oldid=448098599 diff2]). It should be noted that I couldn't find any references to a name change of the company, or even to the term "Deaccellera". A couple of weeks later, (s)he added to [[Universal Verification Methodology]] ([http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Universal_Verification_Methodology&diff=prev&oldid=450200096 diff]) a section which seems to be a rant on UVM or at least some of its users.

*Noisestand175: Added an attack on UVM/OVM to [[SystemVerilog]] ([http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=SystemVerilog&diff=prev&oldid=448873116 diff]), [[Universal Verification Methodology]] ([http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Universal_Verification_Methodology&diff=prev&oldid=448872326 diff]) and [[Open Verification Methodology]] ([http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Open_Verification_Methodology&diff=prev&oldid=448872013 diff]).

*Jokestand9: Changed "Accellera" to "Deaccellera UVM" in [[SystemVerilog]] ([http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=SystemVerilog&diff=prev&oldid=448426844 diff]) again, while at the same time commented on UVM in the changelog.

*Papercause2342: Added a source code example complete with UVM bashing commentary to both [[SystemVerilog]] ([http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=SystemVerilog&diff=prev&oldid=449339986 diff]) and [[Open Verification Methodology]] ([http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Open_Verification_Methodology&diff=prev&oldid=449340064 diff]).

Also notice the similar usernames and that all of the accounts were created during the same two weeks of September 2011, two or three days apart each.

Lastly, the socketmaster's account is the only one with contributions not mentioned above. [[User:Facugaich|Facugaich]] ([[User talk:Facugaich|talk]]) 00:22, 14 September 2011 (UTC)

{{adminnote}} Pagetests9 blocked 48 hours for disruptive editing and socking. I will not object for an indefinite block since this user doesn't appear to be editing constructively. Rest of the accounts blocked and tagged. <span style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:14px"><b><font color="#4682B4">[[User:Elockid|Elockid]]</font></b></span> <sup>(<font color="#99BADD">[[User talk:Elockid|Talk]]</font>)</sup> 02:39, 14 September 2011 (UTC)
