This is really off-topic here, but since it's here, here goes.

Eleonóra Dubiczki and Michael Coombs create defamatory articles on individuals they don't like, e.g. by uploading images of dead children on their pages and writing libel, as well as vilifying anyone who is Jewish, liberal, left-wing etc.
Unlike the Smith brothers on RationalWiki, of course. They create articles on RationalWiki because they love those people.
They flog the articles everywhere they can, as if reliable source, and they have even fooled the Guardian and the SPLC.
An example of this [disgusting crap, to be sure] can be found on the
Luciana Berger article. Recently the
SPLC mentioned Mikemikev in an article about racist Wikipedia sockpupeteers; Coombs has
143 suspected Wikipedia socks (by behavioural evidence) and
120 confirmed Wikipedia socks (by technical evidence) = over 260 accounts.
That was the claim of a Smith sock on the SPLC blog.[It's misleading, because the article was about right-wing influence on Wikipedia and that socking would be irrelevant to it, as those socks (1) were quickly blocked and (2) were, some of them, impersonations. By whom? From the behavioral patterns, a Smith brother. An oft-repeated pattern: create impersonation socks, or private complaints, get the target sanctioned, use the sanction to prove defamation of target.
Both Mikemikev and Dubiczki have articles on Encylopedia Dramatica (
source and
source).
Thoughtfully maintained by Oliver Smith, who else cares? (

(In looking over this, I found the first likely impersonation of Oliver that I've seen,
MarkofKri). That style, vandalizing with a sock that will be seen as the target, who invented it?
Coombs has also recently started to create smear articles on RationalWiki sysops. The latter retaliated by then creating an article on
Michael Coombs at RationalWiki.
I was unable to find anything like that on Rightpedia, looking back into February, 2018, other than the article on
Oliver D. Smith., which was created by Mikemikev, December 13, 2017, with a few additions by Wyatt, April 23. Notice how a single event (at most) becomes a pattern. That is common with trolls, on Wikipedia and elsewhere. Oliver Smith was elsewhere denying being active on RW, though, in fact, he has accounts with the sysop flag. The currently active sysop would be his brother, except he denies that it's his brother, claiming he's been lying about that since 2011. I did you not, his stories change frequently.
Smith has openly claimed that he uses RationalWiki as his private army. He has done the like of this on Wikipedia, with impersonation socking and then canvassed complaints.
