 * Suspected sockpuppets






 * User compare report Auto-generated every hour.

IPs appear to contribute to Wikipedia by only reverting edits, the same ones that the suspected user does, with the apparent purpose of avoiding the the three-revert rule or avoiding edit warring warnings. Examples, BrendanFrye, 172.130.15.99, 172.129.110.212, 172.129.146.183, 172.129.26.82, 172.162.199.228, 172.130.2.208 As the IPs only contribute to Wikipedia by reverting the same articles that the suspected user does and most of the IPs share similar ranges, I believe that there is reason to suspect sockpuppetry.

 * Ugh, what a mess. These are throwaway IPs, I think, and they keep hopping around. I've blocked one of them and protected an article, but I doubt it'll do much. Still, relist when new things happen, I guess. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 01:57, 29 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Another IP has been listed. I've blocked it, and I've blocked the master for a week. I've also protected a few articles. Just to point out, the range we'd use to block these latest IPs (172.129.0.0/16) would have considerable collateral damage, so a rangeblock is more or less out. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 02:23, 30 July 2011 (UTC)
