Suspected sockpuppets



 * User compare report Auto-generated every hour.
 * Editor interaction utility

The above listed IPs (The first IP made the first edit) + the one user all added exactly the same material to a few related pages, using the same source (I don't know if it's made up or not) and then using the authors' own publications (primary sources) to support what seems to be a very specific interpretation of those (WP:OR). No other edits except these ones. Diffs: (Martin Luther)   (Melanchthon)  (Diodati)  (Chytraeus)  (Witsius)   (multiple pages, 2 edit IP with only those 2 edits, not sure about it but it's exactly the same edit  and it's linked to the above ones after further investigation, this one doesn't seem to be related). 69.165.196.103 (talk) 15:20, 1 October 2017 (UTC) Please move this page to the WP space. Thanks. Regards, 69.165.196.103 (talk) 15:20, 1 October 2017 (UTC)

Interesting. CU confirms that the named account is a sock, but I find no other registered accounts anywhere. Indeed all the IPs seem to be operated by the same person--I've seen similar types of edits, a few years ago, but by an editor in a slightly different religious field. , do any of these edits and their particular style look familiar? I'm going to look into a range block. Thanks IP, Drmies (talk) 00:09, 2 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Also: 172.56.32.229 (from a few days ago) and especially ‎172.56.1.90 and 172.56.1.191. I'm placing a range block based on the most recent ones. Drmies (talk) 00:22, 2 October 2017 (UTC)
 * My watch list is set to show any blocked usernames as struck, and in the three articles I checked there have been no blocked users editing for the past 10 years. I don't remember anything similar. Doug Weller  talk 11:28, 2 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Oops, there were two, one a bot and the other banned by the WMF for unrelated reasons. Doug Weller  talk 11:30, 2 October 2017 (UTC)


 * Warned the master about editing while logged out. I'm not really seeing abuse of multiple accounts here, so closing. Sro23 (talk) 01:05, 9 October 2017 (UTC)
