Suspected sockpuppets

IP editor makes small frivolous edits (changing of former politician to retired politicians), usually of poor English (see the Singapore Group Representation Constituency ‎articles) similar to what User:Garfield 3185 had done before. Editor has been previously blocked and used a sock to evade block. A previous ANI report for Garfield is located here, indicating Garfield had attempted to evade block before. There are some indications Garfield might have been using some other IP addresses to edit again but this is the most indicative. Justanothersgwikieditor (talk) 04:04, 9 February 2022 (UTC)


 * @Justanothersgwikieditor what account was the other sock you refer to? -- RoySmith (talk) 15:58, 11 February 2022 (UTC)
 * , please refer to the ani report here Justanothersgwikieditor (talk) 09:50, 12 February 2022 (UTC)
 * @Justanothersgwikieditor the ANI report only talks about an IP. It sounded like you were saying there was another account they used. -- RoySmith (talk) 13:27, 12 February 2022 (UTC)
 * @LaundryPizza03 @Doug Weller I'm confused about the ANI thread referred to above. The close says, Garfield 3185 confirmed as the sock master  Laundry, in the SPI world, the word "confirmed" specifically means two accounts were matched up by Checkuser, but we don't confirm IPs to accounts.  So, I don't understand what actually happened. -- RoySmith (talk) 13:36, 12 February 2022 (UTC)
 * So far as I can see I blocked both, didn't tag their user pages and didn't state a link. Doug Weller  talk 13:43, 12 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Wording has been changed. The assertion was based on a statement by that non-checkuser evidence is unambiguous in this case. –LaundryPizza03 ( d  c̄ ) 16:31, 12 February 2022 (UTC)

 * I still don't completely understand the history here, but it's clear that 220.255.70.62 is a static IP being used by . It looks like they've had that IP for about a month, so that's how long I'm blocking it for.   I suspect you want to amend your AN close to avoid using the word "confirmed". -- RoySmith (talk) 14:11, 12 February 2022 (UTC)
