 * Suspected sockpuppets

146.90.87.134 added this and this. added here ) readded this here which User:CanterburyUK readded here, here, here, here and here. User:Meade Skelton added this here and here which User:CanterburyUK readded here.

In addition, the user twice restored content against WP:BRD, WP:CONSENSUS and WP:BURDEN whilst a talk page discussion was ongoing here and here. Multiple editors (User:Dtellett, User:Seagull123, User:Govindaharihari, User:The Four Deuces) have disagreed with the content stating reasons regarding the nature of the content, its sources, or both but the user appears to be attempting to circumvent this by sockpuppeting. The editor is not a new user, has been editing for nine years although, strangely, he/she barely has 300 edits to his/her name. It would appear that he/she has an WP:NOTHERE agenda to not build an encyclopedia but to add as much negative information about Jeremy Corbyn on Wikipedia against the community consensus formed on talk pages and with an WP:IDHT approach with other editors.

''Accused parties may also comment/discuss in this section below. See Defending yourself against claims.'' The CanterburyUK user appeared to be particularly keen on inserting a reference to an open letter expressing disappointment that Corbyn hadn't expressed a particular view on into a relatively unfocused and low-importance Political positions of Jeremy Corbyn article back in August, but didn't appear to be particularly disruptive by the standards of editors on UK politics articles and did state their reasons on the talk page in their own name. I can't comment on the sockpuppet accusations. Dtellett (talk) 21:46, 20 February 2018 (UTC)
 * It's true I have sometimes made edits without logging in first. Wiki allows that, surely. But anyway  -Tanbirqcd seems to be following me round Wiki in order to delete my content - on the Margaret Thatcher page they have  never edited there before, but in August and again now in February have deleted content I have added, and very quickly.  Back in August Tanbirqcd filed a wiki complaint against me, without success. Now he is making this sockpuppet allegation.  It seems abit of an over-reaction, and overly personnel to me.CanterburyUK (talk) 22:27, 24 February 2018 (UTC)
 * I also notice that on the same date as you reverted my comments and started this sock-pupptry thing: that (for the first time ever) I got a warning from WP about failed login attempts: 'There have been 3 failed attempts to log in to your account from a new device since the last time you logged in. If it wasn't you, please make sure your account has a strong password.'.   WP says that 'For known devices/IPs, we allow up to 5 login attempts before alerting the user'  - so these attempts were pretty clearly somebody else.
