Suspected sockpuppets



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

IP editor(s), as well as Skyring, have been removing sourced content from Barassi Line, often under the same pretenses. Here, the IP editor came in and reverted another editor who reverted Skyring. This was done with the same claim of "BRD misuse" that Skyring has invoked before. Skyring comes in here, completely defending the IP editor, as well as casting blame on to everyone who is reverting. Let us not forget that this is an editor who has already been blocked numerous times for edit-warring, as well as sockpuppetry. Boomer VialHolla! We gonna ball! 02:32, 17 November 2017 (UTC)

Points in defence
Perhaps Boomer could clarify exactly how I've "completely defended the IP editor"? I haven't mentioned him or her except to note "The IP editor has clearly breached 3RR and deserves a block.".

As repeatedly stated, edit-warring is disruptive and counter-productive. This particular article is only going to find consensus through discussion, perhaps with an RfC to help. Of course I'm wagging my finger at everyone who is reverting, and I've called for full protection here. The IP editor deserved a block, and on that point I note a clear breach of 3RR by Boomer Vial with four major reverts in 22 minutes! Time for all parties to cool down, I think. --Pete (talk) 05:55, 17 November 2017 (UTC)
 * That explains why the IP editor, who now has been blocked and is socking on another IP opened an ANI case against me using your name? Here, Skyring claimed to not be any other editors under any guise, yet here admits to editing while logged out. This editor already has been blocked before, for the same behavior.

I note that the IP editor was rangeblocked here due to block evasion. --Pete (talk) 15:40, 17 November 2017 (UTC)

I note that Boomer Vial accuses me above of admitting to editing whilst logged out. This is not the case. I remind Boomer of the instruction above, in boldface reading Do not make accusations without providing evidence. S/he has made several accusations now without providing any evidence. When I point out that their claims are baseless, Boomer fails to respond. I suggest that this SPI request was a fishing expedition, and the fact that I continue to post whilst the IP range of my supposed sockpuppet is blocked underscores the lack of strength in the accusation. --Pete (talk) 05:26, 18 November 2017 (UTC)
