EDIT: Both IP addresses belong to Comcast Cable, at the same Mount Laurel NJ office. The Geolocaion data for each is exactly identical. Macspaunday (talk) 14:45, 3 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Comments

Could the sockpuppet be blocked for at least the same period as the sockpuppeteer? Macspaunday (talk) 14:45, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

This diff leads me to believe that they are the same. Please see the results of the UserCompare tool. Steve Crossin (talk) (review) 04:23, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Sock blocked for two weeks. GBT/C 13:03, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
