User:Cupidcobra repeatedly changed headers in Sexism_in_India without seeking consensus, and after the changes were reverted, several IP addresses made similar edits:. Other IP addresses in the 59.178.x.x range made destructive edits to the same page, including attempts to falsely attribute an edit   to a user which Cupidcobra had a dispute with. Some of the same IP addresses also repeatedly removed an older sockpuppet warning on User:Cupidcobra's page, which Cupidcobra has also done several times.
 * Evidence

Added another IP address to the list: 59.178.211.94. Murmurer (talk) 12:01, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

Okay, this is the second time, after User:Newshounddog, that I've seen someone make an SSP report using a single-purpose account. I'm just going to ignore all such reports in the future. If you're going to throw stones at another user, don't live in a glass house - have the guts to stand up from your own user account, or if you don't have an account, identify your role in this matter as an anonymous editor. Sorry, but I don't think this is worth my time to look at. I'll leave a note for Murmurer to respond to this. Yechiel (Shalom) 19:47, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Conclusions
 * Regarding the substance of the matter, yes, they are probably sockpuppets. This edit by one of the listed IP addresses to User talk:Cupidcobra is telling. Yechiel (Shalom) 19:50, 13 July 2008 (UTC)


 * I have already notified User talk:Cupidcobra about the nature of this account, and I have emailed the Arbitration Committee as well. This is the IP address I've been using: Special:Contributions/98.226.245.252.  I created this account in order to make this page, but I will use it for all my edits from this point forward.  While such concerns about single-purpose accounts are understandable, I was hoping that the evidence would speak for itself. Murmurer (talk) 23:03, 13 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Just to confirm that what Murmerer has said is true. (Bias against IP accounts is hardly worthy of an admin. AGF?)Yobmod (talk) 08:49, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
