For Mayo Clinic Alix School of Medicine: 22:41, 30 December 2018‎ 76.17.217.141 (talk)‎. . (29,621 bytes) +24‎. . (→‎History: readding removed clarification that was previously discussed on the talk page) Diff: + "and under the direction"

This is an edit that Randomeditor1000 has been pushing for on the article talk page. Randomeditor1000 then made 6 more edits along these lines starting at 22:43, 30 December 2018 (2 minutes after the sockpuppet IP made their last edit). I thought Randomeditor1000 may have forgotten to log in but, when asked on the article talk page, they said: "I take offense to being accused of Socking. No, I am not the same as IP editor 76.17.217.141."

It appears that they are creating an illusion of support for this particular edit as Randomeditor1000 has made this specific edit several times (e.g. edit by Randomeditor1000 at 2018-08-22 20:17 UTC). I am not notifying these accounts of the sockpuppet investigation since I have already asked them about it. They have also been hostile in previous discussions, so notification will likely lead to vandalism. Trantorian (talk) 23:30, 9 February 2019 (UTC)

 * - CheckUser evidence cannot be used connect a registered account to an IP address. Sir Sputnik (talk) 03:26, 10 February 2019 (UTC)
 * No comment technically, but as the IP hasn't edited in some time, there's nothing behaviorally to assess, so closing procedurally. Re-report for a behavioral investigation by a clerk or admin if disruption starts agains. TonyBallioni (talk) 05:10, 19 February 2019 (UTC)
