 * Suspected sockpuppets

Editors are supporting each others POV on Morgellons, reverting to same (non MEDRS versions), and have edited each others talk page comments. Both are single purpose accounts, and the IP has multiple blocks relating to this issue. Requesting check to see if this IP belongs to the editor Interested3 in an attempt to avoid 3RR Verbal   chat  09:44, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

Requested by Verbal   chat  09:44, 31 May 2009 (UTC) At first this looked DUCKy, but the writing styles are different. However, this new account (created on the 27th) has plunged into the edit war, and thus checkuser would be helpful to confirm whether this is tag-team edit warring.

 * Suspected sockpuppets

Restoring Interested3's (a sock of 98.194.123.23) edits to Morgellons about "GMO" without WP:RS, against talk page discussion, and editor consensus. Two IPs are definetly the same, even if comcast IP might not be the master - although they all fail (pass?) the WP:DUCK test. Verbal  chat  08:31, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Evidence submitted by Verbal   chat
 * Editor seems to admit sockpuppetry (my IPs, my accounts) here. Might be worth looking at user following this.  Verbal   chat  09:09, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Editor has broken WP:3RR but as they're IP hopping I'm not sure a 3A/N report is useful in addition to this SPI. Verbal   chat  09:17, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

Range blocked for a week;; I'll look into extendig it if this continues. As for, the account hasn't edited since June 2008, so it will have no technical evidence. Best, Peter Symonds ( talk ) 12:34, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
