The Mithras article tends to get minor changes for months on end. Occasionally we get the odd user who wants to post stuff, but usually we can reason with them. A user I have not seen before, "Civilizededucation" pops up, and starts trying to edit it for POV. Soon afterwards we get "Kalidasa 777" appear who repeats exactly the same line, and behaves like a clone. The two of them are supposedly even doing reverts together at the very same time on a Saturday night!?

See the revision list for 13 Feb between 2:11 and 2:34, and the way in the talk page that "Kalidasa 777" (who has made no edits) gets very angry at my reverting "CivilizedEducation"'s edits. If they were two separate people, why would they care? Roger Pearse (talk) 01:54, 13 February 2011 (UTC)

My contributions to WP over the years are on the record. It is true that I hadn't made edits on this particular article prior to Feb 13. I had however, been taking part in serious, sometimes lively, discussions on the discussion page. The deletions I reversed were not only contributions by Civilizededucation. About 2 weeks of edits had been indiscriminately deleted by Roger. Kalidasa 777 (talk) 21:10, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

 * This is nearly a duck block, but I'm adding a CU to confirm. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 02:19, 13 February 2011 (UTC)
 * ❌ - Different continents. Tiptoety  talk 03:10, 13 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Really? These edits are really, really similar. I've a mind to block based on behavior there. There's no proxying here? —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 04:27, 13 February 2011 (UTC)
 * I was surprised too, and as far as I can tell neither of these accounts are editing via proxies. Tiptoety  talk 04:29, 13 February 2011 (UTC)


 * Would it be too much if I had expected that somebody may have informed me about this? And why is Roger Pearse going around making out that I have been found to be a sockpuppet? He has said so on the talk page of the relevant article.- Civilized education talk  11:26, 14 February 2011 (UTC)


 * I'm surprised too, but thank you chaps for checking. It's probably just two users working in concert, then.


 * CivilizedEducation, I certainly made known to you that I considered you were using a sockpuppet. No-one has said that anyone had confirmed this, certainly not me.  I do wish you would take the time to make sure your accusations are actually true. Roger Pearse (talk) 11:49, 15 February 2011 (UTC)


 * Note that this user has been reported as a sock-puppet for "CivilizedEducation".


 * If other readers would contribute, that would help. This is an attempt by a troll to rape the article. Please help. Roger Pearse (talk) 2:17 pm, Yesterday (UTC+5.5) Is this not a comment of Yours? I am going to take this to some other forum and also have a sock puppet investigation started on you. I think you  may have indulged in some sockpuppetry.- Civilized education  talk  14:54, 15 February 2011 (UTC)
 * And you NEVER notified me about having had put in the request for this. Accusations do not mean I know about the start of this investigation. You have been making dozens of uncivil accusations against me repeatedly.- Civilized education talk  14:58, 15 February 2011 (UTC)


 * Alright, I'm closing with no action taken for now. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 03:52, 16 February 2011 (UTC)
