 * Suspected sockpuppets


 * Evidence submitted by George

The user George Al-Shami received a 31h block for violating 3RR on the Syrian occupation of Lebanon article yesterday. After this, the IP address 132.205.7.87 shows up out of the blue and makes the exact same revert that the user was edit warring over. It's possible that it really is just another editor, but I'm highly suspicious, and CheckUser would confirm if the user is using their IP address as a sockpuppet to circumvent their block for sure. ← George [ talk  ] 22:05, 13 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Similar IP address made the same exact revert today. Adding them to the list. Both from Concordia University in Montreal. ← George [ talk  ] 22:29, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

Same locality, different computer and ISP. It is likely that once the home account was blocked, the user went to a university hotspot and continued from there. -- Avi (talk) 07:01, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Conclusions

Master blocked for 72 hours, IPs blocked, too. — Jake   Wartenberg  01:25, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
