Suspected sockpuppets

Also involved IP is 92.184.96.13 which is clearly the same individual, as well. Currently unblocked, but is clearly (per the AIV report diffs linked below) the same individual as this IP and the supporting IP at AIV and in the article.

This IP (65.98.241.200) shows up right when edit warring over unsourced/promotional/blatantly false content is happening on a rather obscure article and right after the sockmaster gets blocked for filing false reports at AIV (on editors who were trying to remove above-mentioned content). Fortunately the article was semi-protected to avoid further edit warring and restoration of problematic content. Their writing and grammar styles are remarkably similar and the sock IP is extremely supportive of the master. The sock IP is owned by TPx Communications, which (amongst other things) offers proxy/datacenter/network services. Additionally, left messages at same venues as the sockmaster. Not requesting CU as I think it's pretty obvious what's going on here.

Initial IP restores unsourced BLP content, violating 3RR:     Convenient appearance of sock on the article talk page less than ten minutes after block of the master: and on my user talk page: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Waggie&diff=941495080&oldid=941494129 and on TheSandDoctor's user talk page:  The only place he *didn't* visit was the user talk page of The Banner, where the blocked IP left a vandalism warning.

''Accused parties may also comment/discuss in this section below. See Defending yourself against claims.'' I have discussed with you calmly and politely. Why do you do that instead of contributing with me? What is your main goal? 65.98.241.200 (talk) 23:16, 18 February 2020 (UTC)
 * I'm reporting you for WP:BLOCKEVASION which is a serious violation of Wikipedia policy, and it looks like contrib stalking me, too - evidenced by the fact that less than five minutes after I post this, you're here. My main goal is to protect the encyclopedia and to improve it. Waggie (talk) 23:23, 18 February 2020 (UTC)
 * I am really sad, specially because you did this instead of calmly talking with me to improve Wikipedia by giving sources, good job, etc. Really really sad for us and for Wikipedia. 65.98.241.200 (talk) 23:25, 18 February 2020 (UTC)
 * I didn't block you, nor force you to block evade. Waggie (talk) 23:30, 18 February 2020 (UTC)
 * You don’t realize how sad it is. I see a conflict between you and somebody else, I try to help to cool down, relax, I show you a good job the other guy did and you delete the discussion + sending this request. Really I stop breathing by this behavior. So sad! 65.98.241.200 (talk) 23:32, 18 February 2020 (UTC)
 * You don’t need to ask to block me anymore. My husband saw my crying so we took the decision I stop this (new) experience on Wikipedia. Conflict and fight was not my goal and not something I like in life. Wish you all the best, specially to find a bit of love and peaceful. 65.98.241.200 (talk) 23:38, 18 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Waggie, don't waste your time. From the IP behavior, it seems pretty obvious it is a sockpuppet from a long-term abuser promoting mostly french schools. Here is an example from a couple of years ago (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/80.12.27.215]). Just report and move on. Trying to engage is just useless. They have been doing it for years. --McSly (talk) 23:42, 18 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Yeah, funny how 65.98.241.200 suddenly pops up after over a year to defend those other IPs. –Skywatcher68 (talk) 23:59, 18 February 2020 (UTC)
