Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Codf1977/Archive

Evidence submitted by Rangoon11
Based upon their editing behaviour over the past couple of days I suspect that both VHarris44 and Derekspage are sock accounts of the 'retired' Codf1977. I suspect that both accounts were created at around the time that Codf1977 posted a retired message on their userpage. VHarris44, despite being a brand new account, has shown considerable skill in navigating Wikipedia. They claim to have seen details of a university that I have studied at in the past by looking at my talk page. In reality this information had been deleted from the page before their account was created. VHarris44 seems to have been created purely to challenge edits that I have made to articles, the account has made no constructive contributions to any articles and has been wholly provocative. The Derekspage account has emerged at virtually the same time. Although the behaviour of that account has so far been considerably more restrained, based upon the timing and nature of edits by that account I strongly suspect that it is controlled by the same person. A little bit more background on this saga is recorded here: Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents. Rangoon11 (talk) 15:40, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

Not really that surprising that chose to file a SPI on me given it was me that filed the one on him/her - Bad faith, tit-for-tat filing. My only account is this one, the only times I have ever edited from an IP is when I have done so by mistake when logged out and have corrected it. Codf1977 (talk) 09:25, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

 * appears to be ❌, editing from a different continent than the other two. However, I would note that it is odd for a new user to be editing well past midnight.
 * and are ❌. Both are in the same country, but use two different internet service providers and two different computers. Hers fold  (t/a/c) 17:31, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
 * With all the non-relations, I don't think there's much left to do. Marking for close. TN X Man  11:48, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
