 * Suspected sockpuppets

User:Internet2Guru has been engaged in a content dispute (with myself and several others), primarily on the page IPv6 since roughly January 14th. Portions of the discussion have been on User talk:Internet2Guru. While I believe Internet2Guru is now editing in bad faith, and I was contemplating placing a on his talk page for his comments about myself anduser:Kbrose, see diffs, including edit summaries:

(among others)

A short while ago an account with a single edit, user:InternetMonitors, has made a similarly disparaging remark about Kbrose, in much the same writing style.

Which leads me to believe that InternetMonitors may be a sock.

Thank you for your attention. Rwessel (talk) 02:34, 5 February 2015 (UTC)

It appears that the other account was created as canvas to support the origional editor. -- Orduin  Discuss 03:24, 5 February 2015 (UTC)


 * As one of this sockpuppet's abuse targets, I can only second the investigation and validity of the claims. The supporting evidence submitted is valid. Kbrose (talk) 20:43, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Checkuser comment: Declining. The supposed sock account has made a single edit days ago. All of the editors commenting here seem to be involved in the same editing discussion/dispute. Given the subject matter, it's pretty obvious everyone involved in the discussion has sufficient understanding to be able to use and edit Wikipedia without starting off looking incompetent.

 * I don't think we necessarily have a case of sockpuppetry here. It's best to assume good faith until there is more conclusive proof of abusing accounts. Mike V • Talk 04:27, 16 February 2015 (UTC)
