 * Suspected sockpuppets

Similar editing behavior, apparent similar location. Both the original, from these articles banned editor and the IP users call both me and other editors by our real world names, rather than Wikipedia user names; both edit the same articles (exclusively Waldorf-related); both aggressively pursue a point that has no apparent goal, here claims that I am archiving an article talk page which is actually being archived by a BOT,

 * I will leave any Arb logging to the reporting party. Seems clear they are a match and evading the prior sanction by editing as an IP.  Blocked two weeks since it is a dynamic IP.  Closing. Dennis Brown -  2&cent;    &copy;  Join WER 06:19, 1 January 2013 (UTC)

 * Suspected sockpuppets

Repeated violations of WP:OUTING as well as, if sockpuppet, a topic ban imposed on the sockmaster:




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

The accounts show User:Pete K's typical combination of abusive language, reference to (and knowledge of) real-world identities of WP editors, and single-use for Waldorf education (diff1, diff2; according to WHOIS, IP address (WhoIs) is the 128-bit version of previously identified IP-socks of user (e.g. 76.170.168.122).

Further evidence: User:2605:E000:24C0:E400:455F:149F:143B:CC2F claimed here to have posted a link to the current Talk:Waldorf education discussion on a particular external website: the posting here is under the name of the topic-banned user, Pete K. The IP-editor is thus clearly the sockmaster.
