Two IPs making same edits over and over. User admitted to being 140.168.69.130 on my talk page. Per comments he made there about the ownership of the dog in one of the pics, he would also be Rileypie who uploaded the picture originally.
 * Evidence

What do you suggest should be done? Editing without logging in is certainly permitted - I do it myself sometimes. If this person has violated 3RR by using two or three different accounts to make the same edit, please provide evidence of that. At worst, it would warrant a 24-hour "token" block, and I'm not sure what that would accomplish. Shalom (Hello • Peace) 03:11, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

 * Yes, he has used the IP, then logging in, to continue to get around the 3RR in the Boxer (dog) article. Hope I'm doing this right, but yesterday he did this edit with the 66.107.12.18 . An hour later, these two were done with the 140.168.69.130 IP: and, followed with two more under his username:  .  The first two were done as redos rather than reverting, while the rest were all reverts.


 * Before the user blanked his talk page today, another editor had also asked him about possible sock puppets, which the user ignored. The user also came in and blanked this page earlier today.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Collectonian (talk • contribs) 03:26, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
 * See http://tools.wikimedia.org/~eagle/socks/Medusa911.1.html for a listing of edits to the same page by both potential socks and potential master. ——  Eagle 101 Need help? 17:58, 3 November 2007 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure what should be done about the user, but he is once again trying to make the same edits to the article, using one of the IP addresses, AFTER apparently pretending to agree to the consensus over the images earlier today. His edits have been reverted, but if he follows his usual pattern, he will keep redoing them until he gets close to the 3RR rule, then either log in or switch IPs.  This, to me, seems like sock puppetry rather than just forgetting to log in. Collectonian 03:04, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

The IP 66.107.12.18 does not belong to any of the other users/IPs listed above. I made those edits (my User ID is Newcastle but Wiki never keeps me cookied and I generally forget to re-log in every time I visit). The IPs are in different countries - mine in the US, the other in Australia - which matches what Medusa told you, as well. Two different people, both of whom happened to disagree with you on the same issue. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.107.12.18 (talk) 14:23, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
