Edits almost exactly the same entries as Asgardian and generally edits in exactly the same fashion (if Asgardian edits something and it gets reverted, this ip edits it in exactly the same way); I suggest Asgardian is using it to get around the 3RR, which he has been blocked for previously.

The conclusion is that you've jumped the gun. That IS the IP for one of the computers I use. However, this is in itself no crime - I often leave the computer for hours at a time and it times out or I simply forget to log in. What IS wrong is misuse of the 3RR, and there are NO recent instances of the user name Asgardian and the IP address occurring on any entry 4 or more times in 24 hours.

All you had to do was ask for clarification.

 * Comment. This reported case of sockpuppetry suggests lack of familiarity with Wikipedia's sockpuppet policies. (1) Wikipedia does not ban having multiple accounts, so having a sockpuppet is not and of itself an offense. (2) Using a sockpuppet to stir trouble, try to get around 3RR, create an illusion of consensus where it does not exist and so forth are banned. No such offenses are reported in the complaint at the top. If you suspect a 3RR offense, don't just "suggest" it. Confirm it. If confirmable, you would then need to make an appropriate 3RR report with information about when edits were made under the username and/or IP#. (3) Forgetting to log in hardly counts as sockpuppetry anyway. Doczilla 05:14, 3 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Comment. User:Asgardian and User:211.29.188.167 have made many of the same rv edits despite other editors' consensus on pages including Quicksilver and Blood Brothers (comics). --Tenebrae 17:48, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

 * Conclusions
 * I don't see any violation of WP:SOCK, but Asgardian is urged to log in for all his edits. --Akhilleus (talk) 03:15, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
