Suspected sockpuppets



 * Tools: Editor interaction utility • Interaction Timeline • User compare report Auto-generated every hour.

User is likely jumping from IP to IP at Icarus Falls to continue their disruptive editing, despite a warning and reverts; a talk page discussion was opened, and, despite this, it is being ignored as the same mirrored edits continue. See diffs and comparison below:


 * Made by main user:
 * 1, 2


 * Made by suspected socks:
 * 1, 2, 3 (this was made after user was informed, albeit by edit summary, to visit talk page — which was ignored). All edits revert back to this edit — by main user — which is a mirror of original edit.  livelikemusic    talk!  16:59, 6 December 2018 (UTC)

 * The IPs might have been related, but both have not edited for a month or more now and are probably dynamic. These two factors make this inactionable/"IP stale" at this time. Please re-report if they start back up. -- The SandDoctor Talk 18:56, 8 January 2019 (UTC)

IP provides mirrored edits done by Whippy7 on the same article after being reverted not once, but, twice, as a way of avoiding the WP:3RR and going against verified information — which they've previously been blocked prior for. Also has been warned for editing while logged out before, so they are well aware of the severity of this. As well, they have alternate accounts, which they have yet to disclose, despite note from. See example below.

 * Making the exact same two edits after a revert during an edit war? Seems pretty obvious that it's a duck. I blocked for 2 weeks, but others can feel free to modify it. — Wug·a·po·des​ 02:33, 25 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Blocked the IP as well for the remainder of Whippy7's block. Closing. GeneralNotability (talk) 20:19, 26 August 2020 (UTC)

User has once again begun using an IP address to edit at multiple articles, despite their previous block for sock-puppetry. See comparisons below, which mirror the previous blocking offense. IP location is also the same as previously blocked IP from last range.

 * This edit was made this morning. It is safe to say they are still using their IP for editing, and are continuing to edit the same edits on their account, while ignoring talk page comments.  livelikemusic   ( TALK! ) 13:20, 23 October 2020 (UTC)

 * They're not being actively disruptive with the IP, so I kind of want to AGF (assume accidental logout or other device), but they've been warned for logged-out editing before and have a past sock block. I don't think this is block-worthy at this time, but I'll leave this open for another clerk to take a look. GeneralNotability (talk) 15:31, 21 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Blocked the IP and left the named account a very firm warning. I think that's enough for now. GeneralNotability (talk) 13:40, 23 October 2020 (UTC)
