 * Suspected sockpuppets


 * Evidence submitted by AgnosticPreachersKid

Bob Wood (author) - Notice the frequent editors. OddibeKerfeld will revert any removal of the 85 categories usually found on the article (many were added by 24.28.17.168). EdRooney reverts the removal of categories. Bobmackpools reverts the removal of categories. OddibeKerfeld and EdRooney have very similar user pages. OddibeKerfeld, EdRooney, Bobmackpools, and 24.28.17.168 edit J.D. and Dave's Excellent Offseason Adventure. OddibeKerfeld and EdRooney edit the same 37 articles. User:Oddibe has not been active, but it's another example of similarities (13 edits to Bob Wood, edits to Bob Wood's book Dodger Dogs to Fenway Franks, and the user page is similar to OddibeKerfeld and EdRooney).

 * Conclusions

The evidence is rather compelling. We have a very clear similarity between OddibeKerfeld and EdRooney as demonstrated in this report. The reversion of the categories which the IP added is suspicious, and makes me believe that the IP is related to the bunch. Bobmackpools also looks related based on the edits to similar articles, though there are far fewer. As for blocks, I have indef'd the listed accounts, and blocked the IP for 2 weeks.
