Suspected sockpuppets

The ip contributors have one edit each, reversions of removals on List of Jeopardy! tournaments and events. User:MorganDWright has recently twice attempted insertion of an unsourced anecdote. When User:AldezD removed this material (also starting a thread on page talk), these two ips showed up to perform the identical edits, using edit summaries which imply these ips are User:MorganDWright editing while logged out in order to appear as different contributors. Pagespace has since been protected by User:Deepfriedokra to avoid "Persistent addition of unsourced or poorly sourced content also, please read the WP:MOS". Clear case of intentionally editing while logged out. BusterD (talk) 13:37, 27 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Go ahead and make the check, but you'll find in pretty short order that I'm not Morgan nor those IPs.  And Aldez, the fact that you're dragging me into what is clearly a nonsense sockpuppet claim is, if anything, more proof that you DO have SERIOUS problems with people who disagree with you on the content of game show articles.  When this is revealed to be a nonsenseical sockpuppet investigation request, you should at minimum be trout-slapped, and maybe we should be looking at restrictions on you calling sockpuppet investigations or editing game show articles.  p  b  p  14:08, 27 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I had no notion of including any other editor in this process. I am not aware of connection. I apologize to User:Purplebackpack89 if by my action I caused or contributed to that editor's trust being questioned. I intended merely to document user behavior of the investigation subject-- User:MorganDWright. I think it wise to keep ones eyes on the ball. BusterD (talk) 14:26, 27 August 2020 (UTC)
 * This is not a disagreement on content. A registered user and an IP sock are repeatedly adding content that does not meet WP:V, MOS:NAME and MOS:NUMERAL. I did not initiate this sockpuppet investigation to MorganDWright. But I did point out the coincidence that you are using an identical edit summary as the subject in the article. Thank you for your contributions. Have a great day. AldezD (talk) 14:32, 27 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I should point out that it would have been a coincidence if Purplebackpack89 had used such a similar edit summary three weeks AFTER the ip had done so. But it is no deep hack to see a previous pbp edit summary in recent page history and use similar wording as a logged out contributor. So I think AldezD read this situation incorrectly.

 * I agree that Purplebackpack is probably not related to this case. As for the IPs...the two listed IPs share a /64 so they're probably the same person, and I find it difficult to believe that an unregistered editor with almost no edits just happened to check the history and decide that they liked MorganDWright's version. Could be sock or meat. Blocked the /64 and MorganDWright for one week. GeneralNotability (talk) 15:02, 27 August 2020 (UTC)
