 * Suspected sockpuppets


 * Evidence submitted by Stemonitis (talk)

After a series of edits to fly–related articles, Mark-mitchell-aldershot began to revert my changes (my edit ; his revert ), until I tried to strike up a dialogue on the subject. This morning, an anonymous user (62.56.108.94) has been making identical edits, undoing my change (my edit: ; IP's revert ). To my knowledge, only Mark-mitchell-aldershot insists on having all taxobox ranks present, and I suspect the IP of being the same user.

Whilst it seems clear, from behavioural evidence, that the IP and the account are in fact the same person, there is nothing to suggest that any breach of WP:SOCK has taken place. The IP edited on two separate days, on both of these days the registered account did not edit. There is no apparent intent to deceive, merely a user forgetting to login on those two occasions. Whilst the user's editing may well be disruptive, it doesn't amount to sockpuppetry. Mayalld (talk) 07:57, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
