Evidence submitted by Phoenix7777

 * All editors are pro-Korean editors.
 * Coconut91 and 74.72.15.7 were blocked at the same time for disruptive edits of List of tributaries of Imperial China and Tribute.
 * Coconut91, 74.72.15.7 and 147.4.194.72 edited the same minor Korean articles one after another like a tag team.
 * Coconut91 and 74.72.15.7 took exactly the same period of Wiki-breaks. 11 August 2010 to 20 August 2010 and 13 September 2010 to 18 September 2010.
 * Fixed-ip 74.72.15.7 is probably used in home (Whitestone, NY) and 147.4.194.72 is used in school (Hofstra university, Hempstead, NY). The distance is 15 miles. ―― Phoenix7777 (talk) 09:55, 23 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Coconut91 and 74.72.15.7 edited at the same time of the day. Being up late in the EST area.

This case is a duplicate of the case at WP:Sockpuppet investigations/Banchanseoul and should be merged there (or more likely closed, based on the flimsiness of the evidence). Sailsbystars (talk • contribs • email) 18:27, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

The two IP's do share a single common edit on Soga clan here and here. However, the edits are separated by 20 days, which hints against any nefarious intent by using multiple IPs........ Sailsbystars (talk • contribs • email) 18:32, 28 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Please don't provide a false analysis.
 * 74.72.15.7 00:38, 26 September 2010
 * 147.4.194.72 17:25, 1 October 2010
 * 74.72.15.7 04:01, 6 October 2010
 * Also the two IPs share these four articles. And their edits are very adjacent (including Coconut91). Why are your analysis so inaccurate?
 * ―― Phoenix7777 (talk) 22:05, 30 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Okay. So the IPs may be the same person (they have geographically compatible geolocations), but they aren't being used for socking. Socking means the user is deliberately using multiple accounts/IPs to circumvent wikipedia rules.  From the looks of this case, it may be the same user (not clear at all), but even if so, they haven't used multiple accounts to avoid 3RR or falsey show consensus, or to evade a block.  Please show what they have done wrong other than simply disagreeing with your point of view or sometimes forgetting to log in.  Making edits separated by a week is not evidence of socking.

 * The main socks of this investigation are Coconut91 and 74.72.15.7 not 147.4.194.72. See Revision history of List of tributaries of Imperial China and Revision history of Tribute. Coconut91 and 74.72.15.7 reverted within an hour or a day. ―― Phoenix7777 (talk) 02:29, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Okay, so now we're getting somewhere. I can see that if they are the same, Coconut91 and 74.72.15.7 were used to evade 3RR on the List of tributaries of Imperial China.  However, that was also two months ago and Coconut91 hasn't edited in nearly a month. I'm not sure what remedy would be appropriate given the lack of recent activity.

 * I'm going to mark this for close. The named accounts has not edited in a month, so I don't think there's much here to do. TN X Man  15:24, 1 November 2010 (UTC)
