The evidence below demonstrates that the IP addresses are in actuality the user Zoe Lorraine continually making baseless and defamatory edits to the Arif Virani Wikipedia page. Well cited material is removed by this user and replaced with the same messages about Arif Virani being a liar or not actually being a lawyer over and over again. This is clearly always the same person as the edits are very similar in messaging and tone. The reason this is disruptive is that the page frequently ends up with incorrect and defamatory information on it.

As per the previous sockpuppetry report, user Zoe Lorraine continues to make uncited, defamatory edits to the following Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arif_Virani. The edits are all clearly by the same person as they are similar in tone and make uncited claims that Mr. Virani is not a legitimate lawyer. This is disruptive as the content on the page is frequently edited to be misleading and incorrect. The following diffs demonstrate this: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Arif_Virani&type=revision&diff=853649305&oldid=849621206 https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Arif_Virani&type=revision&diff=853735515&oldid=853649380 https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Arif_Virani&type=revision&diff=856129446&oldid=855976719 https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Arif_Virani&type=revision&diff=856323005&oldid=856222350 https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Arif_Virani&type=revision&diff=856698676&oldid=856335917 2001:1970:5224:D000:41DC:C8DE:79B2:C1B3 (talk) 02:43, 1 September 2018 (UTC)

As with Zoe Lorraine's prior edit history, making attack edits to federal MP Arif Virani, the new username has been making similar edits to provincial MPP Bhutila Karpoche to call her educational credentials and work experience into question — such as downgrading her job as constituency assistant to her predecessor, which is a legislative and policy role, to "secretary", and inserting statements directly into the article that express doubts about whether she really has the university degrees she claims. In addition to the Zoe part of the usernames, the other thing that sounds like it might be the quack of a WP:DUCK is that Bhutila Karpoche represents the same riding at the provincial level that Arif Virani does federally.
