The IPs all originate from the Canadian Ministry of Government Services Infrastructure Technology Services in Toronto. The IP range has a clear common thread: European (and most specifically Armenian) geography, politics, religion. There is significant overlap.

See for example Foreign relations of Armenia. All major contributors for months to this article appear to by the master. Here an IP added some content, which was reverted but immediately restored by JJ 25. JD2726 also makes very similar edits to the IP: vs

Similar story on Enlargement of the Eurasian Economic Union: ;.

See another example on Armenian Genocide recognition:

The user has been tag team trying to edit war dubious content into Eastern Partnership and Armenia–European Union relations via IPs: and

Here they both are arguing that Armenia is geographically located in Europe: vs. Note the identical edit summary wording. TDL (talk) 02:17, 15 June 2017 (UTC)


 * Oshwah, I don't think that you can ignore the IPs in this case. The connection between the accounts is strongest via the IP.  Both accounts edit in tandem with IPs that originate from the Canadian Ministry of Government Services Infrastructure Technology Services in Toronto.  When you add that to the evidence of a direct connection presented above (adding similar content to similar pages) I think it's clear that these are the same editor.  If you disagree, I think there is certainly enough to run a CU on the two named accounts based on to get further evidence.  TDL (talk) 15:05, 18 June 2017 (UTC)

 * Okay, I'm going to simply look at the connections between the sock master and accused sock puppet account, then look at the IP range afterwards. I definitely agree that the edit summaries here and here are similar. However, I see that hasn't been very active in 2016 and 2017 and hasn't edited since April 2017.  has been very active. Using the edit analyzer shows a very long gap between edits here (1 year) and here (145 days). I do see somewhat close interaction on the Foreign relations of Armenia article here, but so far I don't see any edits that contain content that directly link the two accounts together. Danlaycock - Do you have other evidence or diffs that do so? I need something to go on that links the two accounts together when you compare diffs to diffs.  ~Oshwah~  (talk)  (contribs)   09:05, 18 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Setting aside the question of whether these are the same person for a second, please comment on how their use of the second account/IPs fails WP:ILLEGIT. It's not immediately obvious that they used the two accounts at the same time or intentionally edited while logged out in a way that deceives the community. ~ Rob 13 Talk 02:10, 27 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Rob makes a good point and the filer hasn't commented on this recently. I'm closing this, if any of these IPs or accounts starts editing again a new SPI can be filed. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 07:57, 27 August 2017 (UTC)
