Forum:Impostor

User:NSLE-Chacor is not me (wikipedia:User:Chacor, wikipedia:fr:User:NSLE, commons:User:NSLE-Chacor), and I can prove this via email, and via my wikimedia pages. Can an admin please block that account? 218.186.11.4 01:12, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
 * This person also edited my commons userpage saying "I am not the same person in Wikia", but I don't appreciate my name being used like this. Help? 218.186.11.4 01:13, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Have been in touch with Angela regarding this. Can ignore this for now while an investigation is on. 218.186.11.4 01:46, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

Editing another user's userspace is never good etiquette. What's the name derived from? I don't know what Wikia usually does with users using other users names but if you're using a unique name not normally used by anyone else then it's more suitable for stopping a user from using the name. It's true that my username is derived by putting together the common Dan The Man name and removing the h and e from the name, but nonetheless I use it everywhere and I only ever ran into 2 places where the username had already been taken. One time on youtube and another on some other site. Of what I know I don't even think they we're actively used. Which basically makes this username my own personal identity on the web. If you have a username similar to that then you'd have a better chance of reserving it for your use. But it's also good to mention the fact that this user already has his own personal username Meteoroid which he already has some monobook stuff customized with Essjay's old stuff. 01:49, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Angela has already blocked the exact same account created by the exact same user on meta, as far as I am aware, so only a matter of time until this one. NSLE is my french wp name (and my old en wp name), Chacor is my current enwp name and NSLE-Chacor is my current commons username. Therefore to take "NSLE-Chacor" from nowhere is very suspicious, and I have no choice but to assume bad faith here. 218.186.11.4 02:00, 17 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Meteoroid's old userpage linked to a Wikipedia page. Are you sure this impersonator isn't just redirecting Meteoroid's user and talk pages to get him in hot water?   Scott  ch  06:05, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Never mind, it appears he is the same   Scott  ch  06:10, 17 March 2007 (UTC)  The ling I meant to put up is, whoops.   Scott  ch  11:47, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
 * This has happened on at least two other wikis. I've made a complaint to foundation-l. 218.186.11.4 06:24, 17 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Meteoroid blanked his own monobook .css and .js exactly after the NSLE-Chacor here created those exact pages. In the order of .css then .js with NSLE-Chacor creating his then Metoroid blanking his the times for these edits were 16:29 and 16:30 for the creation by NSLE-Chacor and 16:32 and 16:33 for the blanking by Metoroid. These edits were made with a matching 1 minute between the 2 page edits. And 2 minutes between the 2 sections which accounts for a user logging out and logging in as another user. Because of this how synchronized the edits were made and the fact that Metoroid was online and didn't do anything about NSLE-Chacor changing his userpage and user talkpage leads us to believe that the Metoroid and NSLE-Chacor here on Wikia are the exact same person. Decision on if Metoroid is the same as the Metoroid on Wikipedia depends on how long he has been here on Wikia, if he's been here for awhile then it's most likely that he is. Though he's only been here since Feb 17 and the Metoroid on Wikipedia has been renamed to Z.E.R.O. so there's a small chance of this being a name stealing type troll. 06:28, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
 * There's also this, so they're definitely the same - very odd. I wonder if Wikia's Meteoroid is just impersonating Wikipedia's?  Maybe someone should ask the Wikipedia guy.   Scott  ch  11:47, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
