Should we proactively block all accounts, of active people here, that fit the doppelganger pattern? MarkDilley
 * If you're talking about users with names like EIassint or MarkDiIley then yes, they are deliberately trying to cause disruption by pretending to be admins. I'm not sure who else might fit the "doppelganger pattern" Elassint, 09 24 2010
 * That seems reasonable to me. I used to do that on a different site (non-wiki) as we had a similar problem. --MarvelZuvembie 18:06, 24 September 2010 (PDT)
 * I would say, the MediaWiki software should be upgraded soon (from 1.10.1 which is absolutely outdated to 1.15.5), maybe that will do, there is also an extension that prevents creating doppelganger accounts (it seems to be "AntiSpoof"). Best --Wolf | talk 09:13, 25 September 2010 (PDT)
