Suspected sockpuppets



 * User compare report Auto-generated every hour.
 * Editor interaction utility

All of the users and IPs are SPA that have edited in John Moffat (Royal Navy officer) with a only few edits in connected articles or talk pages. They all state that the torpedo that crippled the German battleship Bismarck was not fired by Moffat and that this is supported by footage from Expedition: Bismarck by James Cameron, as shown by their edit comments and this edit by JohnGT.

76.69.11.120 is connected to Rodney Pattisson and PATTISON by this edit where he says that he is Rodney Pattisson, son of one of the other pilots. The IPs and Rodney Pattisson misspell Youtube as U-tube in their edit comments. PATTISSON makes the same mistake here.

Rodney Pattisson and PATTISON are connected by the obvious similarities in name and editing patterns.

All of the users and IPs write long edit comments, somewhat formal in style, and put their references (such as they are) in the edit comments, not in the article itself.

Both IPs geolocate to west of Southampton. I added the IPs in part for checkuser evidence, since I'm not sure how long users' IPs are stored. I think that the evidence is not as strong for JohnGT as for the other two users and could take a checkuser to verify his identity. Sjö (talk) 08:22, 8 October 2017 (UTC)

You need to look up Rear Admiral John Tolhurst at Google and surprisingly even Wikipedia to see that he is genuine. He has certainly No Conflict of Interest but a genuine desire that the true version is in print and not the myth that John Moffat tried so hard to create. His wish, just like mine, is to ensure that the truth is known and perpetuated. It is only natural as one of the sons of Kenneth Pattisson that I desire this. Vested family interest may be the description and not a Conflict of interest.

If you continue to ignore all this, you may well get corespondance from Lord Boyce (Google him if you don't know who he is) and also Graham Mottram ex-Director of the Fleet Air Arm Museum. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.4.211.4 (talk • contribs) 11:06, 10 October 2017 (UTC)

 * , action already taken. I have blocked the sock accounts indefinitely, the active IP posting above what could be interpreted as a legal threat for 2 weeks, and the master for 1 week. I've left a note on the oldest account's talk page with instructions to participate constructively when their block expires. I have also semiprotected John Moffat (Royal Navy officer) for the duration of the master's block. Closing. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 17:46, 10 October 2017 (UTC)
