Suspected sockpuppets



 * User compare report Auto-generated every hour.
 * Editor interaction utility


 * Both IPs geolocate to Seattle.
 * Both IPs are exclusively active on American Council on Science and Health or its Talk page. (see and )
 * Both became active within 48 hours of each other. (see: and )
 * They both really don't like DrFleischman (see Talk:American Council on Science and Health).
 * This is not simply an IP editor with a dynamic IP address as 75.172.111.178 has made statements insinuating the other IP is a different person. (e.g. "The criticism made by user 76.104.199.83 is legitimate.") Chetsford (talk) 03:58, 22 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Update - Biovirus04 may also be a sock. It has now also become active on American Council on Science and Health in support of the two IPs. Though it's a nine year-old account it's only made 34 edits in that time, all of which are to Seattle-related articles (see: ). Chetsford (talk) 04:03, 22 February 2018 (UTC)

 * Using multiple IPs is not sockpuppetry; IPs are often dynamic and change without any action by the editor. We can't punish editors for the way their internet connection works or for deciding to edit from the coffee shop down the street. Editing while logged out, on the other hand, is against policy when done to evade scrutiny. I've warned not to log out to evade scrutiny. Closing. ~ Rob 13 Talk 15:47, 22 February 2018 (UTC)
