Similar edits on similar pages, with both making constant disruptive edits, typically of the nature of listing different films and television series as British productions when no source backs their edits. They continue even when they have been warned and asked to stop. Their summaries are often of a similar tone, the most alike being Special:Permalink/711496913 and Special:Permalink/702566293. Their most recent focus has been on (link to history page), where both editors have continued their similar edits. Alex&#124;The&#124;Whovian ? 13:00, 25 March 2016 (UTC)

You've listed Harper9979 as both the puppetmaster and a sockpuppet, when they are the same editor. Do you mean someone else? -- Aussie Legend  ( ✉ ) 13:45, 25 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Obviously an error on my part. Fixed. Alex&#124;The&#124;Whovian ? 13:51, 25 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Having observed your little edit war at Gotham (TV series), I (at first) figured that this wasn't Sockpuppetry, but simply an anon who decided to create an account. However, the account has been around since mid-2015. That looks pretty damning to me. In my opinion, this is obviously either a case of sock puppetry or meat puppetry.

 * Edit war? I deliberately stopped reverting and took it to the talk page to discuss, filing reports against the uses and protection for the page, as was required, instead of constantly going back-and-forth. Do not throw accusations around falsely. Alex&#124;The&#124;Whovian ? 00:18, 27 March 2016 (UTC)
 * With all due respect, I stand by my statement. An edit war certainly took place and multiple users were involved, including you (even if you didn't break the 3RR). Even after the issue was taken to Talk Page, reverts from both sides of the argument continued. DarkKnight2149 00:26, 27 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Not that it really matters anymore, since the edit war appears to have ended and this is a sock report, not an edit war report. DarkKnight2149 00:31, 27 March 2016 (UTC)
