seeming good hand/bad hand at Talk:GW 501516, but both generally suggesting that the World Anti-Doping Agency's statements about it should be soft-pedaled. only became active again (after a several month hiatus) following a protracted disagreement on the talk page of that article, and initial edits for the new spate of activity were the creation of an article for a different drug of the same class, and adding it to the GW 501516 article.

 * also, they both edit at the same times, and both frequently forget to sign their talk page additions. -- [ UseTheCommandLine  ~/ talk  ] # _  06:09, 1 April 2013 (UTC)

this comment by the ip is particularly suspicious. -- [ UseTheCommandLine  ~/ talk  ] # _  06:44, 1 April 2013 (UTC)

this edit is immediately followed by this one. It seems a bit like someone is unable to adequately manage their sock drawer. -- [ UseTheCommandLine  ~/ talk  ] # _  07:58, 1 April 2013 (UTC)
 * The template isn't showing the second ip editor I tried to add, User_talk:149.135.146.22 and instead it was showing up as 127.0.0.1. This is also from the same block as User_talk:149.135.146.109 and User_talk:149.135.146.111, both of which have made similarly suspicious comments.-- [ UseTheCommandLine  ~/ talk  ] # _  08:04, 1 April 2013 (UTC)

the ip editors in particular seem to like to remove the auto-signed comments: Foamyslippers does not do this, but is simply acting as a cheerleader for certain of the positions of the ip editors as noted above. -- [ UseTheCommandLine  ~/ talk  ] # _  16:55, 1 April 2013 (UTC)

-- I neglected to open up that collapsed menu and review that section, where it clearly says "For privacy reasons, checkusers will not connect IP addresses to accounts." Sorry about that. -- [ UseTheCommandLine  ~/ talk  ] # _  07:39, 1 April 2013 (UTC)

I think there would have been enough here to justify a CU if the alleged sockpuppet had been a logged-in user. But in the absence of CU evidence (which is impossible to get), I don't think there's enough behavioural evidence here for me to feel good about blocking anyone. — Rich wales (no relation to Jimbo) 05:28, 5 April 2013 (UTC)
