 * Suspected sockpuppets

49.145.107.153 is being used to circumvent a 24-hour block on 49.145.70.58 for edit-warring on West Philippine Sea. Geolocate for 49.145.107.153 and 49.145.70.58 both show the same country, geographical region and ISP: "Philippine Long Distance Telephone; Davao del Sur, Philippines" and "Philippine Long Distance Telephone; Davao City, Philippines". 49.145.107.153 has made a revert on Umlaut with no edit summary, in a similar kind of behaviour to 49.145.70.58's edits on both Umlaut and West Philippine Sea, which suggest WP:DUCK. See (revert by 49.145.70.58 on umlaut), (revert on West Philippine Sea without edit summary). The two IPs may be a sock of each other, or even a meatpuppet of the other (which according to WP:SOCK, still constitutes as sock puppetry). --  李博杰  &#124; —Talk contribs email 11:27, 9 May 2012 (UTC)

Without checking the technical data, it's probable the two IPs are the same person, given the edits and the fact they are from the same IP block. Having said that, the second IP only edited once, so I'm going to mark this for close. If there's more activity, please feel free to refile. TN X Man 14:32, 9 May 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry, but irregardless of edits, edit content and disputes, isn't block evasion through the use of socks a violation of the rules? Otherwise, what is the purpose of a 24-hour block in the first place? --  李博杰  &#124; —Talk contribs email 10:32, 10 May 2012 (UTC)
