"Quite frankly, I was expecting more welcoming answers"

Unread post by Mason » Mon Mar 25, 2013 5:28 am

Here's a fascinating tag-team COI interrogation in progress:
Dougweller wrote:Have you got any relationship with Thierry Jamin? And if so, what is it? Dougweller (talk) 11:21, 23 March 2013 (UTC)
Qworty wrote:Yes, let's have it, per WP:COI. Qworty (talk) 00:45, 24 March 2013 (UTC)
Of course, that kind of thing isn't "outing."

Dougweller's question seems reasonable. Qworty (T-C-L) seems to be a COI zealot, and going by his user page and block log, I would guess that this user wants to keep Wikipedia pure, or is aiming for admin.
07:07, 25 October 2012 WilyD (talk | contribs) blocked Qworty (talk | contribs) (account creation blocked) with an expiry time of indefinite (Not sure if the account is compromised or what, but they're blanking articles with false and misleading edit summaries, then A7ing the resulting stubs)
07:26, 25 October 2012 WilyD (talk | contribs) unblocked Qworty (talk | contribs) (Appears to be a poorly explained/overzealous pursuit of a sock farm)
A quick look at their most recent mainspace contribs reveals mostly removal of text, almost nothing is added to Wikipedia by this user (unless article tagging counts). They would make a great admin, IMO.

Who was banned around that time, or would have reason to sock? Isn't that around the time Essjay left? But Essjay didn't act like this guy... or did he?

Come on, just say it: Qworty is a sock of an experienced deletionist gnome. A total bastard.

OK, fine.

What I meant was, "Which one is qworty?"

Hey, amateur sleuth, you tell me. There's thousands of them to choose from.

You know the drill. Check his past contribs for major areas of interest, and cross-check with other accounts.
Use Stalker. You might come up with someone, never know.

(looks as if virtually ever article Qworty cut back heavily was an obvious autobiography or paid-edited.
Most of them VERY blatant. He's got tens of thousands to go.....)
