Its strange that this user's first edit is pushing the IP's view in the RfC. I could be wrong but it feels that this account was created internationally to sway consensus.-- TriiipleThreat (talk) 19:56, 20 December 2018 (UTC)

 * - It is not sockpuppetry if an IP user registers account and starts using it. Is there any evidence of WP:ILLEGIT behavior?  Vanjagenije   (talk)  09:03, 28 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Yes, but he/she participated in the same linked discussion as the IP as if they are separate individuals. Like I said, it feels as if the account was created to stack consensus. The IP “votes”, then the new user logs another vote without informing the other participants that they are the same individual.--TriiipleThreat (talk) 09:53, 28 December 2018 (UTC)
 * The user has since been blocked as a sock of Lemaroto. Case moved and closed. Sro23 (talk) 05:11, 8 January 2019 (UTC)

 * ✅ and blocked. He's on a big ISP, but I'm keeping track of the IP ranges used by each sock.  Eventually, I'll have enough information to do better range blocks.  Right now, there's lots of holes in my range blocks, so new socks are appearing daily. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 17:00, 10 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you! His new favorite target is an article I'm watching out of personal interest so I can help with whackamole. Let me know if you need anything from me. Star   Mississippi  17:02, 10 February 2023 (UTC)
