Mrkoww is reverted several times on United States Air Force Security Forces for removing sourced information (0246) (0308)  and warned about edit warring on their talk page (0321). At 0325 and 0329  the above IP begins to vandalize the disputed section of the page and is reverted. At 0329 the IP then makes an identical edit to the user's first, and then at 0330  the user makes a mass deletion of the disputed content. At 0339 the IP then reverts its vandalism and removes sourced content from the page. At 0340 a new IP, 12.232.154.2, makes a vandalizing edit which is reverted by User:1989. At 0332 and 0341  another IP user (2600:6c55:6a00:2c00:984b:3f5b:c578:f9c5) makes vandalizing edits identical to. At 0339 a newly created user (created at 0327), Dirty11Bravo, vandalized the Air Force infantry section of Infantry. At 0343 IP 12.232.154.2 made another vandalizing edit and at 0358 here. At 1330, another IP, which appears to be from the same range as the first (2605:6001:E70D:D300:6D90:1896:6BD6:9F85) concurs with the two named users on the talk page. This appears to be an attempt to “stuff the ballot box”.

User:Mrkoww and IP 2605:6001:E70D:D300:6D90:1896:6BD6:9F85 also used the identical verbiage “That's like telling me to find a source that Donald Trump is not a astronaut. ” and the IP “Like stated above that is like saying Donald Trump is a Astronaut ” - except that the second time that verbiage is not used a single time on the talk page. Moreover, both the IP here and User:Dirty11Bravo in their unblock request make a strong point that they claim to be military veterans, linking a behavior.

At 1703 a newly created user, Szpiegowac, posted on the talk page echoing the senimates the other user profiles and IPs echoed. The user was created at 1534.

Based on these time stamps, the rapid nature of the edits, and the coordinated behavior of the IP and user it is highly likely this is a case of IP abuse and the creation of a sockpuppet. Garuda28 (talk) 03:39, 26 July 2019 (UTC)

 * funny how someone loses an argument and their points are proven wrong with 3 individual people and all the sudden it's a "sock puppet". Even though we use the same verbiage. Yes we do all know each other and there were more than 3 of us. The kid who continued to place false information on multiple Wikipedia pages should be the one banned not those who provided relevant sources that rebuked the OP's case. This is why nobody takes Wikipedia serious tho Mrkoww (talk) 18:00, 13 August 2019 (UTC)

 * for the named accounts only. The two alleged sock accounts were created today evidently for the purpose of participating in the dispute. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 18:40, 26 July 2019 (UTC)

These two accounts are essentially ✅ / :

On the other hand, is ❌ /. Reaper Eternal (talk) 20:57, 26 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Reaper Eternal - It doesn't appear that one the accounts you listed in your CU results (MrKowww) exists. Did you perhaps type the name of the account you found incorrectly, or did you mean to refer to the master account accused in this report (Mrkoww)? I need to have the results you listed above confirmed and clarified (and/or fixed) so that any subsequent actions taken are based off of accurate CU statements and information. Thanks :-)  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   23:12, 26 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Corrected. It's MrKoww. Please also see the message on my talkpage by, where he mentions that they are all infantrymen (and likely know each other). This is completely believable. Reaper Eternal (talk) 21:00, 27 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Unsure if you saw the above, so pinging you. Garuda28 (talk) 15:13, 29 July 2019 (UTC)
