 * Suspected sockpuppets




 * User compare report Auto-generated every hour.

This is related to this thread from ANI earlier this week Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive764. As stated there attacks against Redrose64 and myself have gone on for sometime now. Today the 216 IP admitted to being a sock of the 64 IP with this edit The probable master is this blocked editor. I know this editor has been blocked for too long for a checkuser to do any good but the wording of the rants is too much alike for me not to see a connection. A block to stop the ongoing personnal attacks would be nice. thanks for your time. MarnetteD | Talk 23:27, 16 August 2012 (UTC)
 * If that is the case then why is he making it on a different IP's talk page? I would have assumed that he would have made any defense on its own talk page. MarnetteD | Talk 23:44, 16 August 2012 (UTC)


 * I see that action has already been taken so thanks for that I want to post this anyway so that it is here for other admins or editors who might have to file reports in the future. You will also need to look at the history of this article in July and August of 2012 where several different IPs made accusations against Redrose64. All of them worded roughly the same. As stated before not all of those geolocate to the same area so we may have a meatpuppet involved as well. MarnetteD | Talk 23:52, 16 August 2012 (UTC)

''Accused parties may also comment/discuss in this section below. See Defending yourself against claims.'' It seems clear this is the same editor's home (64/Alameda) and work (216/Emeryville) address, two cities roughly 10 miles apart in the San Francisco East Bay area. The latest spate of activity came at roughly the time corresponding with end of a traditional working day. Moreover, the 216 and 64 have a history of defending one another, but the telling error is the slip back to British English spelling in the edit summary one of the NPA posts agains Marnette on 64's talk page. There appears to be a potential meat puppet (IP beginning 85) in the mix, but after a couple edits he/she has now gone quiet. Regardless, there seems little doubt this is TVArchivistUK back as two IP sockpuppets. --Drmargi (talk) 00:59, 17 August 2012 (UTC)

 * The edit you are claiming is an admission of guilt, he is instead denying guilt. Dennis Brown -  2&cent;    &copy;   Join WER 23:39, 16 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Duck blocked, 3 months for a static IP. Appears to be the same person, and has an amazing amount of similar article intersects to back it up. Dennis Brown -  2&cent;    &copy;   Join WER 23:47, 16 August 2012 (UTC)
