 * Suspected sockpuppets


 * Evidence submitted by Uncle G

Behavioural evidence points to 70.18.192.110 being a sockpuppet. Observe the long slow-motion edit war using Jdobrian and 70.18.192.110 during August 2009 at Joseph Dobrian. ImmoveableGroove is included because of the legal threat being waved around to keep M. Dobrian's article in Wikipedia at Articles for deletion/Joseph Dobrian.

 * CheckUser requests

I think that this is the closest code. Note that this is one of two related SPI cases, involving New York politics. I'm dividing the cases up by what the apparent political motivations are, although CheckUsers are welcome to just check the lot in bulk and let the wiki software sort them out. I don't particularly care about the politics. But the edit wars and AFD discussion shenanighans, as well as the BLP issues (We can do without this, for example.), need to stop.

The IP is unquestionably one of the accounts.
 * Conclusions

However, the two accounts appear to be related from a technical aspect. The user agents are different, the ranges and ISPs are different, but they do geolocate to almost the same place. This place a rather large city, though. J.delanoy gabs adds 04:30, 4 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Thank you. Unless Jdobrian and 70.18.192.110 start slow tag-teaming again, there isn't any administrator action to take, then.  Now what about Sockpuppet investigations/Superiorsuperstar?  &#9786; Uncle G (talk) 11:24, 4 October 2009 (UTC)
