 * Suspected sockpuppets



All these accounts users have been created to edit either Polaroid Kiss article or Sneaker Pimps article, they were not existing before. They support each others by doing the same editing and by their comments on this talk page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Jbhunley#Sneaker_Pimps_article, they are refering to events that occurred on another article. They are not supposed to be aware of this, unless they are the same user under different names. ArtemisOfMars (talk) 17:35, 27 January 2015 (UTC)
 * I told ArtemisOfMars if they opened an SPI I would help them with the evidence even though I named them as part of the [//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Drameu Drameu] SPI. This in no way changes the opinions I stated there. Furious Balancing made their [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sneaker_Pimps&diff=prev&oldid=644246347 first edit] indispute with ArtemisOfMars continuing with the conflict between InstantSnapFeedback started on Polaroid Kiss. ISF admitted to editing as Salivasnapshot [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Biographies_of_living_persons/Noticeboard&diff=prev&oldid=643422933 here]. Salivasnapshot,InstantSnapFeedback, Furious Balancing all seem to edit via mobile devices.  In my opinion this is a war between two editors or camps of editors with major COI with respect to Polaroid Kiss that are making use of Sock/Meat puppets. JBH (talk) 18:30, 27 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Additional evidence re Demeritus and RichardBrandonReed same user: Demeritus admitted to previously editing as RichardBrandonReed [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AJbhunley&diff=644439506&oldid=644438051 on my talk page.] This was an edit from a mobile device.

I did post as RichardBrandonReed, but have not done so since as it is not within Wikipedia guidelines. I am not any of the other users listed, and all edits I have done as Demetrius have been to 1) undo deletions of referenced fact and 2) to cite references.

. There are two reports, this one and Sockpuppet investigations/Drameu. My comments are at the other report. The only one I'll repeat is to ask the CU not to block any accounts so they may be blocked, if warranted, from the "correct spot".--Bbb23 (talk) 17:11, 31 January 2015 (UTC)

 * I've blocked the two (stale) accounts as they've been confirmed through the links posted above. I've also blocked Furious Balancing. While I'm teetering on being able to tie it to InstantSnapFeedback, it's clearly a sock of someone involved in this issue. The remaining accounts are left with no action taking against them.
