Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Professor Todd/Archive

Evidence submitted by Soxwon
First IP and User are definitely the same based on their editing patterns on Corporation and language choice: and. IP appears to be used to either skirt 3 RR on Corporations or most likely user forgot to log-in. Second IP address appears after user is blocked for 3RR and A) Addresses conflicting editor B) Points to a discussion the IP has not taken part in and C) Restores disputed version. Pretty straightforward. Soxwon (talk) 20:44, 23 March 2010 (UTC)

Edit: Another sockpuppet quoting the same sources (Berle and Means) just appeared on the page trying to push the point. Soxwon (talk) 20:47, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

My personal involvement in this case has been limited to 3RR notices for several users, but here is my opinion: First and foremost, both IP's have edited no other article then the Corporation article. The IP that showed up recently (131) immediately found his way to corporation and the discussion in progress there, which is quite odd on its own. The other IP didn't start editing the page until Todd was already in an edit conflict there. Another piece of oddness is that Todds edited the talk page till 19 march, and since then the 98 IP took over. When i told todd to comment on the talk page he did, but strangely no furter talk page edits were made by the IP, who seemed quite fanatical at first.

Both IP's are located in San Francisco, so it is quite possible these IP's are also the same user. Interestingly 138.202.182.143 is allocated to the University of San Francisco. in this revision Todd claims to be a professor, and those are naturally related to an university. It is therefor arguable that the location might be well-related to Todd. Excirial ( Contact me, Contribs ) 21:06, 23 March 2010 (UTC)

There's too much editing while logged out to AGF here. The first IP blocked 2 weeks, sockmaster blocked 1 week. If those other IPs or similar come back, let me know. –MuZemike 21:02, 27 March 2010 (UTC)

Continuing abuse from banned user Professor Todd. A new account and IPs are removing the same material. See previous investigation.
