 * Suspected sockpuppets


 * Evidence submitted by Flamarial (talk)

These two users edit very closely-related articles. Links: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/202.131.1.11 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Enerelt

A user with an IP of 202.131.1.12 made an edit to Enerelt's user page; this IP is only one number off from 202.131.1.11. Link: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User%3AEnerelt&diff=216813425&oldid=215862573

On April 16, 2009, Enerelt and 202.131.1.11 reverted my edits within seven minutes of each other. Link: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mongol_Empire&action=history

Mayalld (talk) 06:19, 21 April 2009 (UTC) There is extensive crossover in interests and POV, and if the two are a single user, the timings preclude an explanation that relies on forgetting to log in. If this is a single editor, he has been deliberately logging out. When notified of the case, the alleged master blanked the page, and subsequently demanded that his name be removed from it, but has offered no other comment or reply to the accusation.

 * There are certainly similar interests, but is there more than the one instance of reverting? With just one problem edit, I'd be willing to assume it was simply a mistake. Dominic·t 07:18, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
 * For now, I'd be inclined to decline confirming whether the IP is his, since 3RR was not breached. -- lucasbfr  talk 10:01, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

 * CU investigation officially to allow community input, with no prejudice against refilling if more material shows there is a need for a technical investigation. -- lucasbfr  talk 13:59, 24 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Review of the contributions turns up no evidence of edit warring or other violations of WP:SOCK. Nathan  T (formerly Avruch) 14:21, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
