 * Suspected/possible sockpuppets (based on technical data and/or behavior)

There are a number of suspicious accounts with too few edits to be sure and that are currently unblocked. Because they are unblocked, I will not list them here to avoid possibly falsely accusing someone. However, if another editor flags an account on behavior and it matches an account on my list of suspects, I will add it here. Thatcher 05:51, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

 * Suspected/possible sockpuppets (based on editing behaviour etc.)
 * Report submission by

is likely to be the same person for the following reasons:
 * Updates since the above
 * Experienced past history as an editor judging by contribs
 * Checkuser results match the above socks
 * Same involvement in DYK
 * This edit to a SSP which Archtransit then closed. (eg: compare MEB's wording in that diff to similar wordings by AT: .) As with all the Archtransit SSP closes, this one was in fact clearly confirmed upon re-examination.

This case was likely from the start but was held back for further checking. If this user is blocked then please note, there is also an arbcom-disclosed alternate account to block as well. FT2 (Talk 03:52, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Seems to have been confirmed and blocked since, as has the arbcom-disclosed alt account. FT2 (Talk 06:30, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
 * MEB was very active at FAC; the only questionable pass may have been Youngstown, Ohio, but I followed that one myself during review. Concerned about FAC connections on the alt account, and in the Youngstown FAC. And there's a Sandra up there now :/ Sandy Georgia  (Talk) 23:00, 20 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Could someone also check ? My thoughts are here, but to be honest, I didn't even think of a connection until SandyGeorgia asked if there was a connection, so now I'm not sure if I'm only seeing the trees and not the forest.;) --Bobblehead (rants) 04:38, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
 * An interesting case. Same ISP but geolocates to a different city many miles from the other IPs involved.  Without some evidence that the whois and traceroute tables are wrong, I would have to say unrelated (but certainly a peculiar coincidence). Thatcher 05:53, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for checking. Definitely an interesting coincidence, but good to know my Dereks1x radar isn't completely out of whack (just mostly). --Bobblehead (rants) 06:00, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

Various checkusers have been carried out. This page is created to allow information to be collected centrally. The IP range is wide so those suspected/possible need to be checked for behaviour.

All users appear to have been dealt with appropriately. Stale SSP case, so archiving now. Rudget . 17:21, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
