[[User:Shamwow86]] appears to be a sock account created to evade indefinite blocks of puppeteer [[User:Creamy3]] and Creamy3's most recent puppet [[User:Magicbullet5]]. Shamwow86 came to our attention by running for [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Films/Coordinators/Election 4#Shamwow86|election]] as a coordinator at Wikiproject Films (as Creamy3 tried previously). Although Shamwow86 claimed extensive editing experience, he had deceptively written [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:David_Fuchs&diff=prev&oldid=274793126 "I'm new here at Wikipedia and I'm very inexperienced."] only the week before. When asked about this, Shamwow86 revealed he was previously [[User:Titchbits74]], an account created in Nov 2008 but blocked in January as [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&type=block&page=User%3ATitchbits74 username violation]. Investigating Shamwow86 revealed this evidence:

* His [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Shamwow86&oldid=277970499 Userpage] uses the exact same format as [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Creamy3&oldid=203153234 Creamy3] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Magicbullet5&oldid=240533762 Magicbullet5]

*He uses the same userboxes about horror movies and the wire, and recreated an obscure [[User:UBX/Wook|Userbox]] similar to [[User:Magicbullet5/Userboxes/Vengeance Trilogy]]

*He lists favorite author as George Pelecanos and favorite directors as David Cronenberg, and Park Chan-wook,, the same as [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Magicbullet5&oldid=240533762 Magicbullet5]

*Reveals he currently [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:WikiProject_Films/Coordinators/Election_4&diff=prev&oldid=276984040 lives in Oregon] like [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Creamy3&oldid=203153234 Creamy3] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Magicbullet5&oldid=240533762 Magicbullet5]

*Under his list of "[[User:Shamwow86#My Contributions|My Contributions]]", almost all articles were created by Creamy3 and Magicbullet5. Histories show no edits by Shamwow86, only Creamy3 or Magicbullet5 - for example [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tim_Orr&action=history Tim Orton], [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Kia_Corthron&action=history Kia Corthron], [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Umpqua,_Oregon&action=history Umpqua, Oregon], [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Oakland_High_School_(Oregon)&action=history Oakland High School (Oregon)], etc.

*Uses the same language in his [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Films/Coordinators/Election 4#Shamwow86|election statement]] as [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:WikiProject_Films/Coordinators/Election_2&diff=next&oldid=198902805 Creamy 3 did] such as "I've made a plethora of film-related articles".

*Finally, when asked if he was Creamy3, Shamwow86 responded No, [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:WikiProject_Films/Coordinators/Election_4&diff=prev&oldid=277464040 "Creamy3 was a lying, conniving little jerk"]. Considering that Creamy3 was blocked a year ago, it is strange that an editor who only joined in November could know anything about him.

I find that there are too many similarities here. <span style="font-family: tahoma;"> — [[User:CactusWriter|<span style="color:#008000">Cactus</span><span style="color:#CC5500">Writer |</span>]] [[User_talk:CactusWriter|<span style="color:#008000">^needles</span>]]</span> 22:02, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

{{Endorse}} Whilst there is a certain [[WP:DUCK]]ishness here, the fact that we have moved away from the previous naming pattern, the fact that we are now claiming to have other accounts, and the fact that the original case was a mess of [[WP:SOCK]] and [[WP:MEAT]], coupled with the fact that the block being evaded was for making death threats, suggest that a CU would be vry appropriate here.
