WP:DUCK: Both SPAs dedicated to removing negative content from George Demos and adding negative content to Randy Altschuler. Both accounts accuse other editors of libel in edit summaries:, , , and make strikingly similar comments on the Talk page:  Arbor8 (talk) 15:59, 15 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Please also check because, apart from the slightly similar username, they just turned up on George Demos to blank the exact same section as Brookster22 had been blanking before, after Brookster22 was blocked, with a very similar sounding edit summary, as their first edit. --Demiurge1000 (talk) 07:02, 17 June 2011 (UTC)

''Accused parties may also comment/discuss in this section below. See Defending yourself against claims.'' I, also, was thinking that this duck appears to be quacking quite loudly. It looks like socking to me, or at the very least meatpuppetry.--Epeefleche (talk) 19:26, 15 June 2011 (UTC)

 * I should also point out the possibility of a COI issue, as reflected here ... which coupled with the extremely pro-Demos editing of the editor, raises red flags to me.--Epeefleche (talk) 05:39, 16 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Others who have engaged in similar blanket revisions, and who I would suggest be added to this sock investigation, are SPA IPs (all within driving distance of each other -- the last two are 9 miles apart):


 * 69.113.196.233
 * 69.122.86.241
 * 24.47.195.56

 * I also find Brookster's failure to respond to my question as to whether he is IP 68.174.188.179, and deletion of related mention by me of the issue here, to be alarming.--Epeefleche (talk) 20:59, 16 June 2011 (UTC)

I raised similar suspicions on my talk page and he has yet to reply... I'm fairly sure this is a sockpuppet case. That Ole' Cheesy Dude (Talk to the hand!) 18:33, 16 June 2011 (UTC)

All I can tell you is that I'm not Brookster. Is there some sort of way for me to prove my point using IP addresses? If there is, I suggest we move forward on that as soon as possible so we can resolve this. Sdavi410 (talk) 02:05, 19 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Are you any of the other above-indicated editors, or have you edited under any other IP or user names? Thanks.--Epeefleche (talk) 02:07, 19 June 2011 (UTC)

. No comment with regard to the abovementioned IP addresses. –MuZemike 10:59, 20 June 2011 (UTC)
 * I could block for edit warring, but the time has already passed. I have protected the article for Edit warring, please let me know on my talk page if the edit war continues and I will issue some blocks. -- DQ  (t)   (e)  11:59, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

I am not any of the above IPs. Is there a way of checking to prove it?Sdavi410 (talk) 04:59, 23 June 2011 (UTC)

I created the page George Demos in 2010. He was a candidate for office in New York. Since July 2010, eight IPs and editors have been deleting referenced material from the article, often deleting precisely the same material. Many do so with one of their first edits. All are SPAs. The IPs and editors have included:


 * IP 69.113.196.233 in Scarsdale (who edits primarily Demos, and the articles of his election opponents Cox and Altschuler, as well as a Greek church connected to Demos),
 * IP 24.47.195.56 in Brooklyn, New York (who edits primarily Demos and Altshuler and Cox's father),
 * Sdavi410 (who edits primarily Demos and Cox and Altschuler, as well as the Greek church),
 * Brookster22 (who edits primarily Demos and Altschuler),
 * Bethbridges212 (edits only Demos),
 * IP 72.89.96.118 in Wantagh, New York (first edit ever, of 3 ever, is a deletion at Demos),
 * Oaktree2 (edits only Demos), and
 * Topper42 (created 3 days ago; edits only Demos). Epeefleche (talk) 23:23, 14 May 2013 (UTC)

 * - On Sdavi410 and Topper42 only, based on the similarities of their edits and edit summaries. Brookster22 and Bethbridges212 were declined last time as unlikely, and have not made any edits since then. The rest are probably unrelated and at most meatpuppetry.
