 * Suspected sockpuppets




 * Evidence submitted by Thomas B&#9816; talk

In January of this year, 2009, IPs 70.123.136.248 and 72.130.70.15 engaged in obvious vandalism to the page for the novel "Chromosome 6". After warnings about unconstructive edits were given to 72.130.70.15 and 70.123.136.248, vandalism from those IPs appeared to cease. However, 75.8.97.237 replaced the content with a statement about making ninth graders read this book. Indicating collusion across IPs, 68.183.33.199 finished that thought with "in their biology class". 70.110.194.245 included an odd revision after the revert from a similar IP. 24.29.208.192 further commented on the front of the page with a reference to "us all", while 174.130.98.109 replaced the body of the page, simply noting "this is a book about sex" (sic). The vandalism is intermittent, occurs about every 10-20 days, the last act was on March 15th, 2009.

random acts of juvenile vandalism from schoolkids who don't like the book in a variety of locations (CA, TX, OH, PA) doesn't amount to socking. Mayalld (talk) 07:58, 6 April 2009 (UTC) Mayalld (talk) 07:58, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
