 * Suspected sockpuppets

All four IPs have edited Bullet for My Valentine and Metalcore in the past several days, one after the other. Each has made the exact same edit, changing all instances of "melodic metalcore" to "metalcore". See here, here, here, and here. Each of the IPs also seems to be making similar disruptive edits at metalcore, attempting to remove any trace of "melodic metalcore". Each of the IPs has edited similar articles and hasn't made more than one edit to Bullet for My Valentine before changing his IP address and editing again. The two earliest IPs have been told their edits were disruptive, but the person continues to make these disruptive edits. Tim meh  !  22:07, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

 * The 86.1xx IP addresses are all BT Broadband in London and dates don't overlap, so probably the same user with a dynamic IP. 92.244 could be the same user with a different internet connection, although I don't think this would be sock puppetry as the user is not evading blocks or using the IP addresses deceptively. — Snigbrook  21:16, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Conclusions
 * The 86.* IPs are the same user, however the hopping does not look intentional. Its several days between each IP change, with multiple edits on multiple days within the various timespans. 92.244.191.81 is possible however there is not enough evidence at this time for me to do any actions on it. Please re-open the case at this same case title should issues continue. ——  nix eagle email me 03:01, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
