Over on Talk:Tropes_vs._Women_in_Video_Games (diff) an IP user from Melbourne (199.101.61.70) started a long discussion about Anita Sarkeesian and Gamer Gate. The main issue was the phrase "triggered a wave of sexist harassment against Sarkeesian" which the user wanted to change to "triggered a wave of backlash, which included harrassment against Sarkeesian". This user signed their posts as "Eric Ramus". blocked the IP as WP:EVADE of Comet Egypt on July 20, 2016.

Today, over at Talk:Anita_Sarkeesian, transcluded a request from RFPP by an IP user (210.84.13.17). This request (original diff) was requesting to change the sentence The Tropes vs Women project triggered a campaign of sexist harassment against Sarkeesian, the same sentence/topic/wording that was an issue for "Eric Ramus" mentioned above. This IP geolocates to Melbourne as well.

Given that both are from the same geolocation and are asking for a change in the same wording on related pages, this seems to be a case of socking to me. Since the original IP was blocked as EVADE of Comet Egypt, I highly suspect this IP is the same user.  Eve rgr een Fir  (talk) 22:08, 30 July 2016 (UTC)
