 * Suspected sockpuppets




 * User compare report Auto-generated every hour.

User Unreal7 opened up a proposal to move Skins (TV series) to Skins at Talk:Skins (TV series). Soon after the first vote opposing such a move was cast, an IP editor, 86.146.120.160, voted in favor of the move. An IP lookup indicates that it originates from Glasgow City. In looking at an early version of Unreal7's page indicates that he had previously edited under the 81.102.32.53 IP for a year before registering. An IP lookup of that address also indicates an origin of Glasgow City. What are the chances that both supporting votes originate from the exact same place? Seems like the user is using a sock to back up his own argument per WP:ILLEGIT.


 * Diff 1 - Shows Unreal7's move proposal as well as the supporting vote from 86.146.120.160.
 * Diff 2 - User's page in which they indicated they had previously edited as 81.102.32.53. The claim remained there for almost two years and was deleted less than a month ago. NJZombie (talk) 16:58, 1 April 2012 (UTC)

I would recommend talking with Unreal7 if the IP who made the !vote is his. In any case, the IPs are no longer editing, so marking this as closed with no action taken. --MuZemike 21:08, 6 April 2012 (UTC)
