 * Suspected sockpuppets

The below diffs show that the editing pattern is nearly identical. Both TheNoNonesenseMan and 67.169.148.163 always insist on inserting the biased phrase "advocates gender equality" despite the fact I've tried to negotiate with him several times. (See referenced 3RR report below.)

I filed a 3RR report for user 67.169.148.163. The result was a semi block. Here's the archived report:

I strongly suspect Marc H. Rudov owns both accounts because the "no nonsense man" is a moniker Rudov often uses on his websites. Also, diffs 1, 4 and 5 show the owner of the above accounts insists on adding info about Rudov's business background that only Rudov is likely to know and care about. This would mean that Rudov is editing his own biography, something that's against Wikipedia policy. Moby-Dick3000 (talk) 02:49, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

I just checked WHOIS for IP address 67.169.148.163. It shows a provider located in Mill Valley, CA. This is part of the San Francisco bay area, precisely the area where Rudov now lives. I'm now convinced both of these accounts belong to Rudov and that he's been editing his own biography in an abusive manner. Moby-Dick3000 (talk) 01:13, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
