 * A:

I would like collaboration for the on-going case Suspected sock puppets/Totophi. All of these editors are arguing the same point on the Talk:C (musical note) page which is in contest because of concerns of false claims/original research. They all also have a similar hostile conversational tone which result in direct personal attacks on editor nrswanson based on his personal background (found on user pages) such as education and religion. They also have very short edit histories and appeared right around the same time. The liklihood that three such individuals would appear simultaneously on an article that is not edited often is too much of a coincidence. I believe Totophi may be using the same IP as one or both of the above. Or he may be using another variant IP on the 142.167 theme.Nrswanson (talk) 20:52, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Supporting evidence:
 * I've answered the SSP report. This IP check is not absolutely necessary, but I suppose it might help. Yechiel (Shalom) 21:29, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Do the IPs claim to be a different person or people? It is not abusive sockpuppetry to edit while logged out (accidentally or on purpose) but it would not be acceptable to act like different people in a contentious discussion. Thatcher 03:38, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Totophi claims to be a different person than the anonymous user. In this discussion, Totophi writes to Nrswanson: "Thirdly, although I agree that personal attacks are against the nature of the Wikipedia community, I can still see how you unwittingly set yourself up to look hypocritical in the eyes of Anonymous." (You can find it using Ctrl-F.) Conversely, the anonymous user wrote: "Nrswanson, it sounds like you're slinging frogs while Totophi is slinging flies."  My interpretation is that they are two separate people, but I've been wrong before. :) Yechiel (Shalom) 03:58, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

 * This comment is a clear instance of claiming to be a separate person. However, ✅ they are the same. Thatcher 10:59, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
