 * Suspected sock puppets

Between 7 September 2008 and 12 September 2008, there was an edit war between I and the accounts in question on the "Republic of China Passport" article. 67.71.16.7 appeared and adopted a view that was different from me on 7 September 2008. Then, PrinceofCanada appeared on 8 September 2008 adopting the same view as 67.71.16.7. Finally, a Bosonic dressing appeared and adopting the same view as 67.71.16.7 on 11 September 2008.

67.71.16.7 appears to be a a new account created on 7 September 2008. PrinceofCanada is an established account. Bosonic dressing is a new account with an initial edit date of 11 September 2008.

The new accounts 67.71.16.7 and Bosonic dressing seem to be primarily interested in this article. All three accounts hold the same strong point of view over a particular issue and the tone of reasons used in their edits are similar. It is curious to me that the new account Bosonic dressing would jump right into an article with an edit war upon creation and edit it with the same similar strong beliefs (and in similar manner) as other accounts while makes no edit on any other articles.

Please accept my apology that I am not familar with the and ) so I do not use them in this report.

 * I have informed all these three accounts of the fact that I would make a sock puppet report on these accounts.--pyl (talk) 16:11, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

I previously edited at the IP address in this report, after having come across Wikipedia and wanting to edit, and created 'Bosonic dressing', partially upon the request of the reporter regarding this point. I have no relation to PrinceOfCanada; Pyl's attitude throughout (one in furtherance of a particular position regarding the ROC/Taiwan autonomy) is grating.

Please don't make personal attack against me. I believe the administrators are able to inspect the respective user pages as well as the revision history of the article to form their own opinion.--pyl (talk) 18:07, 11 September 2008 (UTC)


 * err...If you look at the history, you'll find that I didn't get involved in your dispute about whether or not 'Taiwanese passport' should be bolded or not. In fact, I never even touched those words. What I did was begin (and will get around to finishing) having references formatted properly.  I would like to ask, politely, that you remove this baseless accusation immediately, given that your own evidence contradicts what you are claiming.  Furthermore, Bosonic dressing freely admits to having used an anon account and then creating a named account, which is not sockpuppetry.  So uhh.. your dispute is with Bosonic dressing, not me, and this ridiculous accusation should be removed forthwith.  Even further, my IP is 72.141.xxx.xxx, which resolves to a Rogers account here in Toronto, while 67.71.16.7 resolves to a Montreal-based Bell DSL account.  Remove this.

 * As cited about, http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Republic_of_China_passport&diff=237015725&oldid=236902325, showed that you reverted the wording.
 * according to geobytes.com, 67.71.16.7 resolves to Toronto, not to Montreal.--pyl (talk) 05:11, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Okay, my bad, I didn't mean to. I only saw the page because it came up in Huggle.  I took a look, and saw that all the references were broken, and started fixing them.  Really, I'm not sure what point you're trying to make on that page, and really, I don't care; all I was doing was trying to fix references.  By the by, accusing someone of sockpuppetry based on a single edit?  Not cool, not appropriate, and really, unsupported by the evidence.  Which really just goes to show that you're trying to make a point, as opposed to trying to make WP a repository of knowledge.  Further, are you seriously trying to suggest that I have two separate ISPs (Bell Canada, the ISP of the anon user, Bosonic dressing, and Rogers, my ISP) for the sole purpose of pushing an obscure point on Wikipedia?  I have better things to do with my time and money, and I would suggest that you read up on the principle of Occam's Razor; the simplest explanation is that Bosonic and I are two separate users, and that explanation is most likely--indeed, is--to be the truth. I expect an apology, forthwith. Prince of Canadat 08:01, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

I accept your explanation. Please let me withdraw this report.--pyl (talk) 10:34, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
