I, too, believe that the two named users (BalancedHistorian and Chancellorreplacement, are sockpuppets. Chancellorreplacement was editing the University of Hawaii at Manoa article very disruptively, throwing in heavy charges of racism, among other things. His/her edits were removed due to the controversial nature of the claims, and the poor quality of the sources that were cited, but Chancellorreplacement reverted the removal three times until two Travis Thurston and I informed the user that they were on the verge of violating the 3RR.. Less than one day later, the racism claims were readded by BalancedHistorian., which I strongly believe was Chancellorreplacement's way of trying to bypass the 3RR. It should be noted that this is the first time I am aware of someone inserting racism claims into the University of Hawaii article, which has been on my watchlist probably close to seven years now, and now two users have put those claims in within two hours of each other. Even without a checkuser, I strongly believe that, given the circumstances, WP:DUCK applies here. 青い(Aoi) (talk) 12:17, 19 March 2012 (UTC)


 * I forgot to mention: Although it is possible the IP user is also a sockpuppet, I don't believe this is the case since the IP user spent several edits dismantling Chancellorreplacement's edits, and the IP uer's long-term editing pattern (which at first glance appears to be very constructive) does not seem to be anything like the controversial pattern of the two named users. 青い(Aoi) (talk) 12:22, 19 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Just came across ACADEMICSFORTRUTH, whose single edit makes it very obvious that he/she is a sockpuppet of Chancellorreplacement above. I've added this person to the list of suspected sockpuppets. 青い(Aoi) (talk) 12:25, 19 March 2012 (UTC)


 * IP user 75.93.114.20 is not a sock puppet. I am the IP user, and as you mentioned, I first dismantled the alleged sockpuppets' (BalancedHistorian and Chancellorreplacement) claims because they were totally unsubstantiated by any reliable sources. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.93.114.20 (talk) 13:45, 19 March 2012 (UTC)


 * My bad for including the ip 75.93.114.20 in the puppet report. I indadvertedly included this user in the investigation. BalancedHistorian, Chancellorreplacement and ACADEMICSFORTRUTH are the only accounts of concern. -Travis Thurston+ 18:12, 19 March 2012 (UTC)

All three named accounts are the same. TN X Man 14:11, 19 March 2012 (UTC) For the purposes of correctly sanctioning per 3RR, Chancellorreplacement is the master. WilliamH (talk) 14:13, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
 * (Edit conflict) All three accounts are ✅ as the same.

See the previous sockpuppet case that was just closed within the last 24 hours, and compare this and this. This user is using their IP address to evade their named user block. 青い(Aoi) (talk) 09:37, 20 March 2012 (UTC) 青い(Aoi) (talk) 09:37, 20 March 2012 (UTC)

 * I have not run a checkuser, but I have blocked the account per WP:DUCK; furthermore, I have also semied for a month two of the article the IP edited. As a note for the clerks, this should be archived to Sockpuppet investigations/BalancedHistorians/Archive. Thanks. Salvio  Let's talk about it! 13:01, 23 March 2012 (UTC)
