Suspected sockpuppets
I blocked based on behavioral evidence yesterday, the key part being restating an argument that the master was indeffed for here. Other evidence includes editing the same pages with the same content, such as at Culture and CNN. After being blocked, the user vowed to immediately sock again. A few hours later, was created and immediately proceeded to reinstate two of the last sock's edits.

The latest one is quacking, but I'm opening this SPI anyway to request a Checkuser and determine if there's an IP or range that can be blocked to prevent further block evasion. The Wordsmith Talk to me 17:17, 27 February 2023 (UTC)

Suspected sockpuppets

 * ( original case name)

Within 12 minutes, the same change was made to three closely related articles: Knowledge, Truth, and Thought. The diffs are, , and. In these cases, the phrase "In everyday language and philosophy," was added to the first sentence and the edit summaries are very similar ("Fix definition", "fix definition", and "Fixing first sentence"). In the case of the article Knowledge, this change by Blackpiller had already been reverted two times previously by different editors. The changes to Truth and Thought were made by different IPs. A similar edit was made to the article Belief 2 days ago which may also be linked, see. This seems to me like WP:Sockpuppetry by "Logging out to make problematic edits as an IP address". The IPs have different geolocations, which indicates that a proxy is being used. This is my first report so please let me know if there is some kind of misunderstanding on my side.

Same edit warring behavior also found at Truth, see. The IPs by this editor have again different geolocations. Phlsph7 (talk) 19:51, 12 June 2023 (UTC)
