Possible use of socks in content dispute
There is currently something of a content dispute/edit war going on at the talk pages of the articles List of sovereign states and Gallery of sovereign state coats of arms (I am involved in it), as documented on the administrators' noticeboard and requests for page protection. The dispute probably started a month ago, when the coat of arms of the disputed regions (Abkhazia and South Ossetia) were first removed. User:Renata3 was the first to (cautiously) bring up the possibility of sockpuppetry. The user seems to have a very dynamic IP: he almost certainly uses the 212.72.135.x and 212.72.156.x ranges, while I'm 90% sure of 24.165.12.148 and 70 to 80% sure of 80.83.131.10. Of the IP's, only 80.83.131.10 has edited on articles other than the disputed pages. 80.83.131.10 is also the only IP whose contribution history predates the content dispute. These IP's have probably had the effect of avoiding 3RR, although it's impossible to say that they have been used for that purpose (I doubt they are). The IP addresses involved are: The involved registered accounts are: The three accounts have all surfaced in the last few days and have all only made edits to the disputed articles. The "remover" has said that Pirveli is his account, while he has denied being Irakliy81 or Geodave. If these two IP ranges, the two separate IP's and the three accounts belong to the same user, they would have allowed him to dodge 3RR and to appear to represent a wider opinion in the discussion than he actually does.
