Okay, as far as I can see, TheFix63 openly acknowledges that they are 24.13.213.117, but I see no place that indicates that this user has violated 3RR. The only article on which the user has made edits with both the IP address and the username was Same-sex marriage, where the three edits in question took place over the course of three days, thus not violating 3RR. Also, after having the edits reverted by Daedalus969, the user went to the talk page, left a comment, and appears to be waiting for consensus before making any further changes. On the 28th, only the user's first edit was with the IP address; ALL later edits were with the username, suggesting to me that the user edited the page, then realized that they were not logged in, and subsequently logged in and stayed logged in for the remainder of the day. This does not seem like sockpuppetry to me! The same thing happens to me when I forget to log in. Does that make me a sockpuppet too? TheFix63 is 24.13.213.117, but they do not appear to be acting as a sockpuppet, as best as I can discern. Rising*From*Ashes (talk) 01:19, 29 August 2009 (UTC)
