 * Suspected sockpuppets




 * User compare report Auto-generated every hour.

Apologies if this is not in the form expected/hoped for on Wikipedia, I'm not that tech savvy. Basically, my entry was reversed by Drmargi, which was then reversed back by another user, and then reversed back by a new user with an IP address. This IP address is new to the discussion and entry field so I suspect the user is actually another account of the first user. Below is the linked history in the TopChef (season 8) page:

''Accused parties may also comment/discuss in this section below. See Defending yourself against claims.'' Fascinating, but fiction. I'm in southern California; the IP is in Oklahoma. I'm a pretty clever girl, but I've been at work all day, not dashing back and forth between CA and OK to edit. This is petty retaliation by Stefan and what I felt might be a sock, Norbytherobot, who seem to edit in tandem within a short period of time of one another, and are at the very least, communicating off-line in order to assert ownership of an article so as to insert factually inaccurate, POV content for which they do not have consensus.

 * I did not request this investigation! I have not discussed with Norbytherobot, online, offline or by any other means (except the one message on MY talk page today). I do would like to communicate with you though, please discuss on the relevant talk page instead of just reverting. --Stefan talk 03:29, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Yeah, it wasn't clear due to the formatting. I've formatted it properly. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 03:56, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

I might add, having had some time to consider this little farce, that the speedy way thing was handled not only gave neither me nor the IP in question time to defend ourselves, but also reflected a troubling lack of judgment on the part of the admin. Clearly he or she made no effort to exercise even the most minimal level of scrutiny, but instead rushed to judgment base on what I can only imagine is a past encounter of some sort. Meanwhile, a clear-cut pattern of edits suggestive of sockpuppetry and edit warring by Stefan and Norbytherobot goes uncommented upon, clear evidence of bias on the admin in question's part.

 * Can you please show a link to where the report on me and Norbytherobot is? I cannot even find it, I do not think it was submitted? If it was, the admin should notify me the way you were notified .... (now it is revert from your talk page by you!) --Stefan talk 10:42, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments

 * Yes, I'm pretty sure that's Drmargi - at least on behavioral grounds. I've blocked both IPs for 48 hours, and have warned the master. Relist or take to AN3 as necessary. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 00:42, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
