 * Suspected sockpuppets




 * User compare report Auto-generated every hour.

See East London (bus company). The sockmaster, who is only interested in this article, added material (partly unsourced, partly unreliably sourced) to the article. Various editors have reverted, and along come two IPs (apparently from the same range), doing the same thing as the master. The edit summary in this edit quacks loudly.

 * Generally speaking, we do not publically associate accounts with IP addresses. WilliamH (talk) 22:34, 9 June 2012 (UTC)
 * This one is pretty obvious. Indef is probably the way to go for the master, 72 hours perhaps for the IPs. Steven   Zhang  Get involved in DR! 11:36, 10 June 2012 (UTC)
 * The IPs are now stale and if you look back in the history of the article, you will find many occurrences like them. Recommend best course of action as semi-protect the article for increasing lengths of time and address Smithbuses for long term edit-warring in the future. ⋙–Berean–Hunter—►  01:59, 14 June 2012 (UTC)

 * Affected article has been edited by four IPs in the last couple of days and has been semi-protected by another admin. I went ahead and temporarily blocked Smithbuses for edit-warring and logging out to continue that edit war. (Non-CU block) ​—DoRD (talk)​ 13:43, 22 August 2012 (UTC)
 * In the future, if you bring a case here, note that you must supply evidence or the case may be summarily closed. ​—DoRD (talk)​ 13:45, 22 August 2012 (UTC)

 * Obvious sock, blocked 1 month, the IPs are rotating, so no use in blocking. Someone else semi-protected the page which should reduce that issue.  Closing. Dennis Brown -  2&cent;    &copy;   Join WER 14:16, 6 September 2012 (UTC)
