 * Suspected sockpuppets

In a silly layout conflict I was reverted repeatedly Stevenbfg and the mentioned IP. Here it turns out that Stevenbfg and the IP are identical. And suddenly Brianann MacAmhlaidh shows up to lend his support to the chosen option of mr. Steven/IP, giving me the idea that this is another sockpuppet. I will apologize to mr. MacAmhlaidh when he is genuine interested. And now another IP shoed up for the same. The Banner talk 23:47, 9 August 2013 (UTC)

Having originally entered the discussion in support of the users in question's view on the matter, I will say that the two IPs can be traced to the exact same location meaning that circumstantially at least the two IPs may be the same person. Mabuska (talk) 00:05, 10 August 2013 (UTC)

Just for the record, I'm not Stevenbfg or any of those IPs, and I want to say that it pisses me off that an established editor would assume I was a sockpuppet. I 'suddenly' appeared' on the talkpage because it was one of the top-most on my watchlist at that time, and I decided to leave a note - not because I was trying to clumsily rig a vote.--Brianann MacAmhlaidh (talk) 00:26, 10 August 2013 (UTC)

 * - to fully unravel this. There is a prima facie case for meatpuppetry with this confession. I've hardblocked that IP, and blocked 93.xxx and Stevenbfg for 2 weeks.
 * , but Brianann MacAmhlaidh is completely ❌ to Stevenbfg. ​—DoRD (talk)​ 13:58, 12 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Closing. I see no evidence against Brianann, so no reason to block. The IPs are already blocked. Reaper Eternal (talk) 02:45, 13 August 2013 (UTC)
