::False report:

:::- Just because I made an edit without logging in does not constitute "sock-puppeteering," for TWO reasons:

::::1. Forgetting to log in is not an intent to deceive people that you are a different person, especially if you log in and then say you are that person who edited without being logged in, which I did.

::::2. Even the SPI rules say that you do not need to log in every time you edit just to not be considered as a so-called "sock puppet."

:::- "ChristensenMC" was not an intent to look like another person. I formed the "-MA" account once I realized that I typed the wrong letter to represent my middle name. You can kill the "-MC" account for all I care. Therefore, that was not so-called "sock-puppeting," either.

:::- The SPI rules say that you can even have more than one account as long as you are not intending to deceive people that you are another person (e.g.: trying to create a situation that looks like a "consensus" of 2 or more people even though it's really just one person).

:::Therefore, bahooka is just sore because he doesn't like my attempt at a good-faith edit at one of his friend's cherished WP:owned articles.

Aloha27, I'm glad you reverted the IP since the content was unsourced/unencyclopedic, however, I really don't think it's WRU?. WRU? has never shown interest in the article before, and actually he usually DOES include an (often snarky) edit summary. Example: Here's a likely IPsock I discovered today: [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pink_(singer)&diff=prev&oldid=730180902]. It appears not everyone in the 2600 range is Who R U?.

Quacking loudly, sro? Have you not seen the IP editors and Fish there, making the similar edit? Are we all from the same location? Or even if we are, just because we agreed at one time must we be the same person? What about consensuses? How do you suspect they form, sro? Any time you see one of those must all those accounts be from the same person just because they agreed? If every editor had a different opinion then how do you think the wiki would have survived for anywhere near this long?

Besides that, I already conceded to EEng, while the other editors kept pushing it. We're not the same people.

Ginminx (talk) 07:53, 5 September 2016 (UTC)

To clerk (at least it looks like that's what you guys are called): I'm not sure what "checkuser" is, but it sounds like it might be some kind of tool for determining the IP addresses and locations of registered users. What more? If it is what I think, then checkuser us as you will, but just because edits from the same location agree doesn't mean they're from the same person. More than one person from the same location might be editing here, and they don't have to have unique beliefs. Compare to 116.212.233.96 and 49.196.168.147 and see if we're not dissimilar.

• A total duck. I have blocked the IP range 75.162.216.0/23 for a month, after checking all edits from the range over the last couple of months, and determining that the risk of collateral damage is very small. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 00:14, 26 June 2017 (UTC)

User is still actively editing, in the same disruptive manner. Commodore CDTV, the locus of the dispute I'm aware of, had to be autoconfirmed-protected, and the user has been canvassing for support in this dispute.

• Please do not make blocks indefinite. The editor is clearly trying to make a positive difference, but they are going about it in completely the wrong way. An indefinite ban would stop them from recognising their wrongdoings. As for range blocks, I have to oppose them. They should only be used in extraordinary circumstances. In the grand scheme of things, this editor's mistakes are pretty insignificant. Of course, they should be monitored, to ensure that no more disruptive contributions are made. –Sb2001 ^{talk page} 00:47, 10 September 2017 (UTC)
