Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Kno CunninLynguists/Archive

Evidence submitted by TheJazzDalek
Kno CunninLynguists purports to be Kno of the group CunninLynguists and only edits articles related to that group. After the potential conflict of interest was pointed out during an edit conflict over A Piece of Strange, J*Banger 89 was created, specifically editing that article, later adding CunninLynguists info to another article. The IP is clearly Kno CunninLynguist (adjacent edits, plus signing as Kno). This editor is now using both accounts and the IP to avoid being blocked for edit warring in A Piece of Strange (Kno CunninLynguists had made multiple reverts, was warned, then J*Banger 89 made the next revert).

 * Left a 3rr warning on J*Banger 89's page and it's now switched back to Kno CunninLynguists doing the reverting. TheJazzDalek (talk) 16:42, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

Comments by accused parties
Here is just a partial list of IP's and corresponding Traceroutes for individuals editing the content in question against Jazzdalek's liking;


 * 76.122.80.218/po-2-ur01.b0atlanta.ga.atlanta.comcast.net (Atlanta/Me)
 * 211.30.117.47/rivrw2-ge3-0.cm.optusnet.com.au (Australia)
 * 173.6.84.1/sl-sprin904-258830-0.sprintlink.net

etc.

There are other people (fans) with vested interest in this information being accurate, even if the accuser and his aliases are the only ones concerned with it being included. Considering he has made 25+ edits regarding my group in the past 12 hours I'd say this is pretty cut and dry -- he seems like a good Wikipedia editor/user, but a tad obsessive here. Maybe he is the one that needs to be "warned". Kno CunninLynguists (talk) 28 February 2010


 * I never claimed that all those IPs are this editor. This editor has pointed out, however, that he has many meatpuppets at the ready to help forward his idea of what should or should not appear about his group in Wikipedia. I'm curious as to which other editors he thinks are my "aliases" and invite him to open a Sockpuppet investigation against me. TheJazzDalek (talk) 00:20, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

Clerk, patrolling admin and checkuser comments
I also have a good feeling that this may be separate people. –MuZemike 02:46, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't think so. They demonstrate a clear similarity to one another, to the point where I think it warrants further investigation. Peter Symonds ( talk ) 11:13, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

. I think the only way we'll know for sure is a checkuser on the accounts. I'm not convinced by the evidence presented by the accused parties, and believe there is some sockpuppetry occurring here. Peter Symonds ( talk ) 11:15, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
 * ✅ The listed IP is Kno. The named accounts are technically ❌ except in trivial ways (same country, for example, but you knew that.) --jpgordon:==( o ) 08:37, 7 March 2010 (UTC)
