IP claiming bias on Talk:Macuto Bay raid, see. While it is usual to see this kind of behavior in political articles, the user seems concerned by two move request (that resulted in no consensus with many different kind of users involved) that are a year apart (Macuto Bay raid and 2019 Venezuelan uprising attempt). By saying the cabal of editors who dominate Venezuelan-politics related pages have somehow managed I worry that the IP is involved in following several controversial issues and trying to call justice by hiding under an anonymous IP (or using an IP because it is blocked).

 * I oppose an investigation into the IP address. The last time I checked, the IP's only edit was the one complained of by above. I agree it's not a particularly constructive edit, but I don't think that merits an investigation. It's impossible to see a trend in one edit. Whether the user behind the IP is familiar with Wikipedia does not seem particularly relevant to me.--Orgullomoore (talk) 12:55, 30 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the comment, I just opened this request to see how things work, political articles are often attacked by anonymous IP with targeted accusation and vague claims, if this could help I was eager to try. That said, I completely understand if this is closed because it was not done correctly or if did not have enough evidence.--ReyHahn (talk) 12:58, 30 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks, - I don't know if you came from my comment, but I had intended we discuss an investigation at the linked talk page and see what the IP had to say (if anything). I don't know if the SPI will be closed or not, but thanks for the initiative. Kingsif (talk) 16:58, 30 May 2020 (UTC)


 * Oppose -- the editor with this single edit has shown no evidence of familiarity with wikipedia. Editor provided no diffs or even links to the things editor said were wrong.  Editor put the comment in the wrong place on the talk page.  If this is a sock, what other editor is it a sock of?  I have met numerous editors with far more familiarity with wikipedia, and often they have a friend who helped them make their first edit(s).  If this was a friend, the friend clearly doesn't have much experience.
 * The allegation of bias is completely understable given where the editor is geo-located: South America (Argentina)  .  South American editors can access sources that don't have a strong neoliberal American bias.  We need to welcome new editors, not attack and chase them off because they have the 'wrong' perspective and point out serious deficiencies in our articles, which they may want to improve. --David Tornheim (talk) 17:27, 30 May 2020 (UTC)

 * Not enough evidence presented here that the IP is being used in violation of the SOCK policy. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 00:44, 31 May 2020 (UTC)
