[[User:Mike Church|Mike Church]], that is.

Following in the hallowed footsteps of [[User:Lir|Lir]], Mike has at his beck and call a dazzling array of sockpuppets, and loudly berates anyone who points this out. Mike adds a twist, though: Mike's sock puppets talk to each other, and sometimes even argue.

Mike is an aspiring game designer whose chief purpose on Wikipedia has been to inflate the image of his work as much as possible, in hopes of getting noticed by the world at large.

Here I shall keep a list of the accounts I believe to be Mike. He reuses them sometimes, so it's handy to have a reference guide. If you know any accounts that can be added here, feel free to do so. If the rationale for listing them is complex, please add some explanation. If a quick look at the contributions list makes it obvious, then just listing the name is fine.

Thanks to [[User:Tagishsimon|Tagishsimon]] for compiling some of these. And now, in no particular order:

*[[User:P23|P23]] - ''[[Special:Contributions/P23|Contributions]]''

*[[User:38|38]] - ''[[Special:Contributions/38|Contributions]]''

*[[User:Mu Gamma|Mu Gamma]] - ''[[Special:Contributions/Mu_Gamma|Contributions]]''

*[[User:MargarineFly|MargarineFly]] - ''[[Special:Contributions/MargarineFly|Contributions]]''

*[[User:MathyGuy23|MathyGuy23]] - ''[[Special:Contributions/MathyGuy23|Contributions]]''

*[[User:AFK|AFK]] - ''[[Special:Contributions/AFK|Contributions]]''

*[[User:Now watch this drive|Now watch this drive]] - ''[[Special:Contributions/Now_watch_this_drive|Contributions]]''

*[[User:Draconic|Draconic]] - ''[[Special:Contributions/Draconic|Contributions]]''

*[[User:Chef Lord|Chef Lord]] - ''[[Special:Contributions/Chef_Lord|Contributions]]''

*[[User:521|521]] - ''[[Special:Contributions/521|Contributions]]''

Given a recent edit to this page, I'd propose

*[[User:Mapseloh|Mapseloh]] ''([[Special:Contributions/Mapseloh|Contributions]])'' as a stong possibility. :-) Sorry for editing your subpage, Iso -- hope it was okay. [[User:Jwrosenzweig|Jwrosenzweig]] 23:46, 28 Jul 2004 (UTC)

* and [[User:Empyrix|Empyrix]] ''([[Special:Contributions/Empyrix|Contributions]])'' [[User:Jwrosenzweig|Jwrosenzweig]] 15:51, 29 Jul 2004 (UTC)

And I guess [[User:Eleven|Eleven]] ''([[Special:Contributions/Eleven|Contributions]])'' was probably him. I'm not sure if it was a joke on his part, or if he actually thought someone would believe that was my sockpuppet. It's definitely his style to use a sockpuppet to attack himself though. Odd. [[User:Isomorphic|Isomorphic]] 01:49, 30 Jul 2004 (UTC)

*[[User:Maradox|Maradox]]'s ''([[Special:Contributions/Maradox|Contributions]])'' second edit was to mark this page for deletion, which ought to set the spider sense tingling. [[User:Mirv|—No-One]][[User talk:Mirv| ''Jones'']] 17:18, 7 Aug 2004 (UTC)

*And [[User:Blue Dragon|Blue Dragon]]'s ''([[Special:Contributions/Blue_Dragon|Contributions]])'' ''very first edit'' was a vote for the deletion of this page. Curious. . . [[User:Mirv|—No-One]][[User talk:Mirv| ''Jones'']] 21:44, 7 Aug 2004 (UTC)

*And [[User:Lightning Strike|Lightning Strike]]'s [[special:Contributions/Lightning Strike|contributions]] show a suspiciously familiar pattern. [[User:Mirv|—No-One]][[User talk:Mirv| ''Jones'']] 18:24, 8 Aug 2004 (UTC)

*Ditto for

**[[User:Unattributable|Unattributable]] - ''[[Special:Contributions/Unattributable|Contributions]]''

**[[User:Zzzzzz|Zzzzzz]] - ''[[Special:Contributions/Zzzzzz|Contributions]]

**[[User:Get_the_914_on|Get_the_914_on]] - ''[[Special:Contributions/Get the 914 on|Contributions]]'' (probably)

**[[User:936|936]] - ''[[Special:Contributions/936|Contributions]]''

**[[User:Happy_man|Happy_man]] - ''[[Special:Contributions/Happy man|Contributions]]''

**[[User:The_troll_you_summoned|The_troll_you_summoned]] - ''[[Special:Contributions/The troll you summoned|Contributions]]''

**[[User:Dubious punk|Dubious punk]] - ''[[Special:Contributions/Dubious punk|Contributions]]''

**[[User:Scarecrow|Scarecrow]] - ''[[Special:Contributions/Scarecrow|Contributions]]'' . . . [more to come]

*[[User:259|259]] ''([[Special:Contributions/259|Contributions]])'' assures us that he is not Mike's sock puppet. Oh, and I've standardised all the links to show user pages & contributions ... hope no-one minds me editing their comments. --[[User:Tagishsimon|Tagishsimon]]

* [[User:64.12.116.83|64.12.116.83]] has vandalised this page twice, and so is probably Churchy. --[[User:Tagishsimon|Tagishsimon]]

*:That's an [[User:Guanaco/AOL|AOL proxy]]. [[User:Mike Church|Mike Church]], [[User:Mr. Treason|Mr. Treason]], and [[User:Michael|Michael]] all edit from AOL. [[User:Guanaco|Guan]][[User talk:Guanaco|aco]] 17:37, 16 Aug 2004 (UTC)

* [[User:Metric Dollar|Metric Dollar]] ''[[Special:Contributions/Metric Dollar|Contributions]]'' is a Church [[straw man]]. [[User:Guanaco|Guan]][[User talk:Guanaco|aco]] 04:13, 16 Aug 2004 (UTC).

* [[User:896|896]] ''[[Special:Contributions/896|Contributions]]'' was created to vandalize [[User:Hadal]] and this page. [[User:Guanaco|Guan]][[User talk:Guanaco|aco]] 04:13, 16 Aug 2004 (UTC)

* [[User:Offering Truce|Offering Truce]] ''[[Special:Contributions/Offering Truce|Contributions]]'' admits vandalism, and offers the [[Just William|Violet Elizabeth Bott]] remedy on Iso's [[User_talk:Isomorphic#Truce|discussion]] page. Can you spell morally bankrupt? --[[User:Tagishsimon|Tagishsimon]]

*A block on some AOL proxy IPs prevented [[User:Redirector|Redirector]] ''[[Special:Contributions/Redirector|Contributions]]'' from editing my talk page, so he took his threats of vandalism to my user page. [[User:Guanaco|Guan]][[User talk:Guanaco|aco]] 17:37, 16 Aug 2004 (UTC)

*[[User:641|641]] ''[[Special:Contributions/641|Contributions]]'' was created to redirect my user page to "[[feces]]". [[User:Guanaco|Guan]][[User talk:Guanaco|aco]] 17:37, 16 Aug 2004 (UTC)

*[[User:Dorko|Dorko]] ''[[Special:Contributions/Dorko|Contributions]]'' was created to complain on my talk page because I blocked Metric Dollar. [[User:Guanaco|Guan]][[User talk:Guanaco|aco]] 18:02, 16 Aug 2004 (UTC)
