 * Evidence

Both addresses have a history of adding the same copyrighted material to Elton Flatley as well as the style of comments that the users leave on reverting editors pages User_talk:DeadlyAssassin and User_talk:DeadEyeArrow.

IP users editing times do not overlap. They are simply used once. The users do not claim to be separate users trying to give the illusion of consensus. WP policy states "A sock puppet is an alternative account used deceptively". I see no evidence of this occurring.

 * Comments

What I do see is edits which are not productive and warning that have been given by others. This could be the basis for blocking if bad behaviour continues.

I will have this case independently reviewed and will return if the review suggests another course of action.

Case closed. Suggest filing vandalism report (WP:AIV) if vandalism occurs. Archtransit (talk) 20:11, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

 * Case to be re-opened, reviewed and re-closed. Archtransit has been desysopped as an sockmaster, with an occasional sideline in unblocking socks, himself.
 * Quite obviously the same person using a dynamic IP based on IPs and editing patterns (though 124.185.53.220 seems to have no edits). Too old now to block. If it continues/starts again, a short rangeblock or semi-protection might be in order. Mr.  Z- man  01:13, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
