Suspected sockpuppets


Added:

Evidence submitted by Joe Decker
Context is an edit war at Peter_Hayes_(musician) that I noticed earlier today (although I'd missed it when I edited the article earlier in the week). Several users on both sides of a disagreement about an unsourced statement about the article subject's alleged girlfriend and children. Dannyboy211 reverted two changes, I rereverted (based on the policy of removing unsourced, contentuous material from BLPs) those two, Brmcfan2010 came in for a third rerevert, narrowly avoiding (as he has several times in the past week WP:3RR.

Note the following edits, only the first of which is an edit from what I postulate may be a sock.

         

Wasn't quite sure how to approach this through reporting as an edit war just barely skirting 3RR, but if I'm correct to think that this is a sock it's not a bad place to start.

(Also note that I haven't carefully checked the list of folks who've been insisting on removing this line (save for my removals), there's certainly edit warring and possibly other sockpuppetry happening there as well, e.g., ( Perestoika, Brmcwebmaster )

I also welcome all advice and criticism about how to better handle situations like this in the future, and how to proceed further in this case if warranted. -- j &#9883; e decker  talk  06:12, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

I'm not a clerk or SPI regular. I'd not seen this SPI, I saw the notice at WP:BLP/N. I've blocked User:Brmcfan2010 as an obvious sockpuppet per the duck test. User:JoJowild may also be connected. Fences &amp;  Windows  13:49, 16 June 2010 (UTC)
