Self-admitted sockpuppet by using the pronoun "I" to associate as the alleged sockmaster who had been blocked for edit warring. In other words, user is blocked for warring on IP address #1, and then uses IP address #2 to post on IP address #1's talk page, and both IP addresses are the same person. Additionally, without missing a beat, IP #2 continues the same argument as IP #1 on Jim Sterling, the page that got IP #1 in trouble to begin with. BenYes? 22:52, 15 November 2015 (UTC)

Obvious IP-hopping is obvious. Second one blocked for 24 hours to match the first one's block for edit-warring (behavior the second one did continue). Given the hopping, a longer block on the original probably isn't useful. I also semi'ed the target article (Jim Sterling) and watchlisted it. DMacks (talk) 23:04, 15 November 2015 (UTC)

There seems to be another IP who's sole edits match that of this IP, which entails blanking two sections of Jim Sterling concerning a rivalry between a rogue indie developer, and threats that are strongly suspected to be from said developer. These sections have already been checked by User:DMacks as being notable after the previous IP issue. Here are the edits in question. Can someone investigate this IP, to see if it's the same person as this IP? --Kizzycocoa (talk) 19:50, 22 November 2015 (UTC)
