 * Suspected sockpuppets

Extremely suspicious activity related to a requested move at Talk:The Big Bang Theory. 76.70.89.12 (the nominator) has only started editing Wikipedia today but a post at Editor assistance/Requests indicates he has previously edited as 70.27.9.143. His activity has been mainly editing related disambiguation pages, despite the requested move only having been opened today. 70.24.247.54 (the puppetmaster) supports the move but claimed he was not the nominator. 70.27.12.67 hasn't actually voted but has been canvassing for support votes. Prior to today, 70.27.12.67 last edited Wikipedia in 2008. All three of these IPs seem to have distinct tasks in relation to this move. None have previously edited The Big Bang Theory. Coincidentally, all three IPs are from the same ISP and conveniently using different subnets to mask their relationships. AussieLegend (talk) 09:28, 12 February 2012 (UTC)

 * I've blocked the two sock IPs for a week each. I don't think the master is the same; the behavior and phrasing they use is a little different. And in this edit, the master warns one of the socks not to canvass. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 23:36, 12 February 2012 (UTC)
