 * Suspected sockpuppets

Purpose of this is to verify and comfirm that the above are the same editor for use at an AN/I in regards to editor behaviour.

Originally i came across IP 99.155.91.188 making changes to the Transmetals article - and. I reverted citing original research. They then reverted it and removed information which i re-added and queried the removal of, followed by a full revert citing reasons why.

After this the following IP 137.148.114.108 comes into play making the exact same changes as IP 99.155.91.188. ,. Note the striking similarities between the edit summaires of and  from both IPs.

Throughout this i notified the editor of WP:OR, WP:BRD, opened a discussion on the talk page of the article for them and I then requested semi-protection for the article to force the IP to properly discuss their changes. This semi-protection was granted citing "good faith but unhelpful edits".

Bereft of being able to edit as an IP, the IP returns using their actual account: User:Odoital25. Backed up by:
 * 1) - re-imposition of the exact same edits.
 * 2) Exact same style of commenting where they fail to sign their name:
 * User talk:Odoital25 -, , ,.
 * 99.155.91.188 -, , , ,.
 * 137.148.114.108 -

All these comments share striking similarities in user tone and arguement and can easily be seen as all being the same editor. Even a look at User_talk:Odoital25 shows a long history of the same style of edits as being made by the two IPs with several editors raising it with them.

Also consider how Odoital25 goes quiet from Odoital25 12 November 2011] until 27 January 2012 and the emergence of 99.155.91.188 on 20 December 2011. Odoital25 doesn't return until i get the Transmetals article locked meaning they can't edit it as an IP. Whilst there is a small gap there from when they go quiet and return as an IP the following dates also give strong evidence of sockpuppetry: A look at 99.155.91.188's most recent edits shows that they were made on: 07:56 and 08:01 on 28 January 2012, a look at Odoital25's provides the following times: 08:08, 08:08, 08:11, and 09:16, 08 on 28 January 2012. This is clear evidence of signing in and out to use two different guises to make edits. Mabuska (talk) 12:03, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
