 * Suspected sockpuppets

One user account and two IPs that keep making the same revert to the article All Hope is Gone and have very similar patterns as genre warriors across a number of articles. See the following examples of diffs for GRyaRya at [], for 24.47.246.163 at [] and for 75.199.179.95 at []. I thought that the first IP might just be the user not logging in and tried to point out the policy on multiple accounts on GRyaRya's talkpage here [], and this can be seen as lending a spurious widespread support for the genre changes. Just as this user does not respond to appeals for discussion on talkpage, there was no reply. The latest IP edit looks suspiciously like an attempt to avoid the a charge under the 3RR or edit warring, which has been pointed out to the user. The peculiar and repeated pattern of editing strongly suggests that this is the same user. ''' SabreBD  (talk ) 17:17, 27 June 2011 (UTC)

Now other ips making the same edits. I cant really believe that all these editors have spontaneously turned up at the same time to make such a similar pattern of edits by coincidence. I think that there is a distinct sound of quacking.--''' SabreBD  (talk ) 22:21, 27 June 2011 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but checkuser does not generally disclose connections between IPs and named accounts. TN X Man 19:00, 27 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Two of the IPs geolocate to the same area; the others don't. Based on behavioral evidence, though, I've blocked all four for a week. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 20:26, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
