 * Suspected sockpuppets




 * User compare report Auto-generated every hour.

I have been editing under the IP: 68.79.95.84, but created a user page so that I could submit this case, and will no longer use the IP. I have recently come into conflict with User: Ending-start on the Keri Hilson discography page and noticed that I started to be conflicted against by User: Ozurbanmusic on the same page for the same thing, and the two never seem to edit at the same time: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Keri_Hilson_discography&action=history, At first it seemed like nothing but I saw Ozurbanmusic editing against me on Chris Brown discography for the same matter (bubbling under hot 100): http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Chris_Brown_discography&action=history and he repeatedly used the term "we". Then I was threatened on my talk page by Ending-start on my talk page:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:68.79.95.84, so to me, it seems that this user is not respecting other viewpoints and is trying to get their way no matter what, rather by using other users or threatening me with a block. He also continued to use the word "consensus" like Ozurbanmusic. Proof of Case (talk) 04:27, 29 July 2011 (UTC)

 * The US and US R&B columns on both those articles are for chart positions above 100. See their links. And we do not use Bubbling Under peaks in those columns, see discussion here as to why. I take good care of both of those articles, so that explains why I've reverted your edits on both. Also, Ending-start and I are not the same people. We don't edit the same articles so check our contributions. And instead of reverting our edits, discuss the matter on one of our talk pages, or on both of the articles' talk pages as per WP:EW. You've also appeared to have violated the The three-revert rule on the Chris Brown discography article. Oz   talk  02:33, 30 July 2011 (UTC)


 * Excuse my language and whatnot, but this is just fucking ridiculous. Just because Oz and I have the same views on a matter, does not mean that Oz is a sockpuppet of mine. I actually feel bad for you that you believe this. ℥nding · start 03:41, 30 July 2011 (UTC)


 * Just happened to be on ES's page and saw this. This is garbage.  What's next, two administrators agree on something and you accuse them of sockpuppetry?  Also, with the 3RR note from Oz above, this appears to be a case of WP:BOOMERANG.  CycloneGU (talk) 04:12, 30 July 2011 (UTC)


 * This is ridiculous. I know both users and they have quite different music tastes. I am more friendly with Oz (I talk to him quite often) than Ending Start. I can tell with full conviction that the are not socks of each other. This is RIDICULOUS. Jivesh    &bull;  Talk2Me  07:26, 30 July 2011 (UTC)


 * Thank you all! Proof of Case who's recently just started editing on Wikipedia should know that in the future you will get many users who have the same point of views on a matter on any article. But that does not mean they are sockpuppets. And did you think you would get away with this by not notifying the users you are accusing? Oz   talk  08:25, 30 July 2011 (UTC)


 * I have talked to Ending on several occasions and as far as I'm concerned you need to back off. He's a good guy who will talk to you if you talk nicely to him. Recently me and him had some differences of opinions on the Sparks Fly page but we talked to each other and he actually helped me grow as a contributor. I'm sorry but an accusation like this about him just doesn't seem right to the guy I've talked to. So maybe you should talk to Oz or ending before accusing them of sock puppetry.

 * Why is this still open? CycloneGU (talk) 16:48, 30 July 2011 (UTC)


 * OMG, this makes no sense. They edit at completely opposite times. It's kind of hard for a person to stay almost 24 hours. This is NOT true. -- ipodnano05 * leave@message 19:39, 30 July 2011 (UTC)

I've heard enough. It's clear that there is no socking going on here. 68.79.95.84 is reminded to assume good faith in the future, especially in the light of discussions that can get heated at times. –MuZemike 20:01, 30 July 2011 (UTC)
