 * Suspected sockpuppets




 * User compare report Auto-generated every hour.

This account was registered solely to push the user's preferred content into the article Alignment (Dungeons & Dragons) and continue an edit war that began with this new user account and continued with the user's IP addresses beginning with 166.175. The IP addresses use similar edit summaries, verbiage, commentary, and arguments as the main account. The intial edit, and some of the many diffs of edit-warring:       This person has edit-warred and argued with extreme rudeness on the talk page with Ryk72, Oknazevad, C.Fred, Torchiest, and Dhtwiki and resumed edit warring after protections by NeilN and BOZ expired. It's likely that this behavior will only continue, as it has been going on for over a month. 2601:240:C701:45F0:29D3:1A7D:61A1:8AEF (talk) 12:18, 4 November 2015 (UTC)

Comment by : I believe that the behavioural evidence is strongly supportive of these IP addresses being editor, and that the editing by these IP addresses is clearly disruptive. I do not believe, however, that that editor is currently under any sanctions, or that the multiple IP addresses have been used to brigade formal discussions. There is, perhaps, a small case to be made that the IP address changed while discussions at noticeboards where open, but this is small beer. I thank the editor opening this investigation request, but, unless administrators here are inclined to address the behavioural issues, suggest that it be closed, without prejudice; with a view to opening a discussion at WP:AN or WP:ANI. - Ryk72 'c.s.n.s.' 03:22, 5 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Given that the number of IP addresses just keeps on rising, as does the user's hostility level, it is likely that this will need to go to WP:AN/I if an admin does not intervene beforehand. 73.168.15.161 (talk) 06:47, 6 November 2015 (UTC)

this is a lie, i'm not trying to add preferred content, i'm trying to add perfectly well sourced and valuable information. routinely, two editors will come up with whatever baseless argument they can come up with. accusations of socking are incredulous and ridiculous. these are a few editors who know all the right lies and accusations to make. 166.175.61.37 (talk) 17:13, 4 November 2015 (UTC)

 * There were no edits to the page or talk page in the last two days, so there is no reason to block any IP or to protect the page. If the IP socking continues, page protection might be the solution. JeffryBloom is not active, so blocking him also seams pointless at this moment. I'm closing this case.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  22:14, 11 November 2015 (UTC)
