EVERYTHIN did that edit, how does it show socking? — Rlevse  •  Talk  • 01:06, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

Looking at both contributors histories, it appears they both vandalized Ruth Kelly, but in different ways at different times. Not necessarily sock puppetry.  MBisanz  talk 21:39, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

I disagree, it appears they both have the same POV's to push and both have similarly recognisable usernames. Edits are near enough at the same time, on both days. Rudget . 22:03, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Yikes! Sorry for the late response here. I've had internet access issues. If memory (and a review of the edit history) serves me rightly, this article has been the subject of consistent homophobic vandalism. On the day I filed the sockpuppet report, the article was being vandalised from a number of similarly named accounts, which were being blocked one after another. It may be that I have the order of the contributions wrong. Nevertheless, I maintain that these accounts are sockpuppets. Xdenizen (talk) 08:14, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Oppose Not enough evidence linking the two for sockpuppetry. I admit that the two edits are both vandalism (the older one simply needs to be blocked), but the new one is the one that concerns me. It only has two edits. It could be someone who simply logged in to vandalize the article. That said, the easy solution here is a request for a checkuser to verify that these are or are not the same person. This edit history is sufficient for such a request. Once the checkuser goes through, it should quickly ascertain guilt or innocence. — BQZip01 —  talk 08:53, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Moot. Both accounts have already been blocked indefinitely as vandalism only accounts. Hopefully the user(s) behind them will give up soon. Otherwise, the article may be semi-protected. Jehochman Talk 22:18, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
