 * Suspected sockpuppets




 * Evidence submitted by JFD (talk)

Previous checkuser requests have established that he has changed ISPs multiple times, operating initially from IP range 59.94.96.xxx–59.94.106.xxx, switching to an unknown IP range for the Havelock the Dane sockfarm, and then running the Vtria 08 sockfarm out of IP range 122.161.xxx.xxx–122.163.xxx.xxx.
 * Additional evidence

The known IP ranges are geographically consistent both with each other, and with the suspected sockfarm at 117.194.xxx.xxx–117.199.xxx.xxx. This ISP change also explains why comparing JSR to IP range 122.161.xxx.xxx–122.163.xxx.xxx initially returned an unrelated result.

Exxoo is ❌ (different country). NittyG is also to be Freedom skies based on geography (allowing for a bit of fudge because I don't fully trust the accuracy of IP geolocation in India) and is definitely ❌ to the other accounts mentioned. I'm not finding any sockfarm at 117.199.192.0/20. JSR is, but, as you note, there is little certainty about Freedom skies' IP at any time, so there is not much certainty IP comparison's could ever offer there. Needs an admin to make a call.

Based on the CU results, there really isn't sufficient certainty to take any action.Mayalld (talk) 07:36, 7 May 2009 (UTC) Mayalld (talk) 07:36, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
