 * Suspected sockpuppets


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

At least every one of the socks reverted another editor, which is also socking.

Diffs for the 172.xx.xxx.xxx first, as they are obviously related and pass atleast 3RR:

.

Now for how the IPs and Veritas are combined. I am mostly going to work with their edit summaries. On November 1, Veritas undid a revision by the 'opposing' puppet, User:Dalvar Martinez. is the rv in question. In the edit summary, Veritas stated that ''Thiis source is not peer-reviewed. Please come to a consensus on the talk page. On January 26, one of the 172.xx IPs reverted another IP the other puppeteer used with the edit summary The Boyer article represents the peer-reviewed consensus on the sites and supersedes the earlier references. See the Talk page.'' This is saying pretty much the same thing that Veritas said. After another revert to Veritas's version by a 172.xx IP, 24.250.214.224 reverts again with the edit summary ''The Boyer article represents the current professional consensus about the sites. The other materials do not. See the Talk page''. This is again the same thing that Veritas and the 172.xx IP said earlier. I can supply more edits relating Veritas and the IPs if needed.

I had received a notice on my Talk page about a sockpuppetry investigation. I have made a series of edits on two of the Wikipedia pages, San Buenaventura de Potano and Hernando de Soto, but I have never intended to violate Wikipedia's policy on the use of multiple accounts. I do know that I have gone into Wikipedia on my phone, and may not have logged in when I did so.

As to the edits listed on these pages, I do know that several users have edited them, for reasons which I want to discuss on a separate page - the "EditorAlbury" sockpuppet investigation.Veritas20132014 (talk) 02:45, 29 January 2016 (UTC)

DatGuy - as I indicated in my comments below, I have no intention of misrepresenting myself here. I do go on Wikipedia frequently on my phone, and often do not think to log in when I do so; I don't have access to a large number of separate computers. It may be that's why these IP's appear linked.

I intend to abide by Wikipedia's policies and apologize if I've inadvertently violated them. However, as I discussed below, it's difficult to reach a consensus when another editor appears to be deliberately refusing to do so.Veritas20132014 (talk) 15:52, 29 January 2016 (UTC)

 * - CU will not connect IPs to accounts. -- Amanda  (aka DQ) 09:22, 28 January 2016 (UTC)
 * I am sure that all those 172 IPs are yours. This is your final warning. If you continue to edit logged-out, you will be blocked. Now, I'm closing this case.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  19:45, 2 February 2016 (UTC)
