 * Suspected sockpuppets

Special:Contributions/88.110.40.109 and match. User has a history of having alternative accounts namely User:Sogosg.  M I T H  13:19, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Evidence submitted by  M I T H 
 * Both users also are under the impression that them being reverted is unjust and unwarranted and accuse me of reverting them maliciously: and .  M I T H   16:23, 27 June 2009 (UTC)


 * After the user has said it is not their ip address below, I believe the user operates using a rolling IP address. Evidence of arrives through the very similar ip address to the sock ip namely 88.110.15.91 edited on Ireland and made similar edits to Aogougo, also after the latter account had been reverted several times. The edit also involves linking see here by ip and here by Aogouguo.


 * Evidence submitted by  Rgood erm  ote  
 * I have added 89.168.228.62 and 82.52.103.198, the edits these IP have engaged in are similar, if not the exact same as Aogouguo, and the reverts the IP made where also used as evidence against an IP that the user claimed was vandalizing article. The reverts can be seen in the history of this article and the report he made can be seen here. Please note that the history only shows one of the IPs mentioned above reverting an edit and the user directly states that others have reverted the edits. If I placed this wrong or my evidence is not enough feel free to remove anything

That IP address is not my IP address. Aogouguo (talk) 17:19, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

 * User uses a rolling IP address. See above.  M I T H  18:04, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Request for CheckUser
 * Requested by Tiptoety  talk
 * - Strong enough evidence to warrant a CheckUser, but seeing as the user has refuted the claim and after looking over the users contributions (the named user) I do not feel a block is justified yet. Tiptoety  talk 22:41, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Conclusions
 * ❌ for 82.52.103.198
 * ✅ for the other two IPs. He seems to edit while not logged in on a regular basis, with some instances where he specifically logged out in order to edit.

I also found & blocked a few socks: -- Versa geek  02:00, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

Evidence submitted by 90.44.20.208
These are new sockpuppets of the banned user Aogouguo. They have the same edit patterns, and above all they have done the same vandalising of the "List of countries by military expenditures" article. You can check the history of the article with their edits here:. A quick look at the history of each sockpuppet is also quite telling. Note that this user has repeatedly created sockpuppets in the past. Last but not least, there may be another sockpuppet of this user, User:CS46, but this one I'm less sure, so I didn't include it in the list above. PS: Note that I am not logging in under my user name so as to avoid harassment from this crazy editor, which has unfortunately happened in the past. 90.44.20.208 (talk) 14:16, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

Comments by accused parties
See Defending yourself against claims.

Im not a Multi account, and its natural to have rivalry between the UK and France, but for my part i did not intend to, infact my sources put UK defence below france. the only mistake I made in eddits was when i used the UKs 2008 military budget by mistake which was $68bn. FFMG, you dont have to hide behind a fake account to call me a multi, you should of just told me. Bro5990 (talk) 12:21, 3 November 2009 (UTC)


 * My I say I find this whole thing rather offensive, I have only seen Bro5990 on November 2, 2009 when he stated that HM Treasury called for an update to the list of Military Expenditure. I believe the person who accuses these users and myself is rather annoying since Wikipedia is open to everybody. I normally keep an eye on the United Kingdom and Doctor Who articles however I saw the UK figures had changed once again on the Military Expenditure page then saw there was a discussion and so checked and changed to the correct figures indicated. How dare you call me a 'sockpuppet' or accuse me of Vandalism when you know anything about me.


 * I know some like to keep a dominance over the Expenditure List however I believe it is totally unacceptable for you to accuse me of anything. I have been a member here since April 2009 and have only edited the list on 2 November, 2009. I believe this person does not sign in with their user name as he does not like the fact people have updated the list promptly. I asked a Admin to check over the Expenditure to see if all was correct and unbiased, quite the opposite to vandalism. Also the accuser also uses words like 'crazy British' which is rather insulting, personally the two people I think are related here and who are keep changing the British Armed Forces and expenditure pages are 90.44.20.208 and 82.124.221.224. Anyway hope this is settled soon. Thank you. -- SuperDan89 (talk) 01:43, 04 November 2009 (UTC)

Comments by other users
Note that this user (Aogouguo / Bro5990 / BlackHades / etc.) is now using IP addresses 88.104.231.223 and 88.104.227.190 to vandalize the article List of countries by military expenditures. The madness in this article won't stop until all these sockpuppets and related IP addressed are blocked. 82.124.221.224 (talk) 01:41, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

 * Looks alright but I don't see the vandalism that is needed for code B. Those edits could be AGF'd. I'll leave it to another clerk. GrooveDog &bull; i'm groovy. 03:17, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
