- Suspected sockpuppets
- An old feller (talk · · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · spi block · block log · CA · CheckUser(log) · investigate · cuwiki)
- EzEdit (talk · · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · spi block · block log · CA · CheckUser(log) · investigate · cuwiki)
- User compare report Auto-generated every hour.
- Editor interaction utility
I believe that both User:An old feller and User:EzEdit are sockpuppets of DeFacto. The rationale is as follows:
- Both User:An old feller and User:EzEdit are working on the same type of articles (Articles on the inch, foot and yard naturally complement each other):
- EzEdit: A lot of work on the articles Yard and Foot.
- An old feller: A lot of work on the article Foot (unit).
- Both editors removed references to the article Imperial and US customary measurement systems.
- It should be noted that User:An old feller created his account on 11 July 2013 and User:EzEdit created his account three days later on 14 July 2013.User:212.183.140.15 proposed merging the article Imperial and US customary measurement systems into Comparison of the imperial and US customary measurement systems on the same day that User:An old feller created his account (see here). The article itself was developed in my sandbox area and posted in main space two days earlier (9 July 2013). The nature and timing of this assault on the article Imperial and US customary measurement systems suggests either sockpuppet or meatpuppet activity. User:212.183.140.15 was later identified as a sockpuppet of User:DeFacto.
- Both exhibited DeFacto's "watering down" of statements:
- DeFacto: in this example he replaced the words "The civil service is bound by law to follow EU directives relating to public administration" with the words "civil servants might be constrained by standards and procedures which dictate the measures to be used"
- EzEdit: Here and here - in both cases the introduction of the word "predominantly".
- An old feller: In this case replaced the word "Obsolete" with "Historic".
- The name "An old feller" is typical of DeFacto's sense of humour - previous sockpuppets have included User:Bill le Conquérant (William the Conquorer) and User:AnnieLess (Any less). In his incarnbation as Bill le Conquérant, DeFactoi tried to create an indentity by creating an artcile that bore a relevance to his name - Château de Beaumesnil (A chateau in Normandy), while User:An old feller made a number of edits to articles that had the word "Feller" or "Fellow" (see here) Martinvl (talk) 21:20, 31 July 2013 (UTC)

- I reiterate my call to soft-block 212.183.140.0/26 and some segment (that should be better determined by CheckUsers) in 212.183.128., that was one time ignored and another time disregarded. A temporal gap in range blocks possibly allowed the puppeteer to replenish his supply of socks.
Note that new socks did not appear until the range block was lifted.Incnis Mrsi (talk) 07:59, 1 August 2013 (UTC); edited 08:18, 1 August 2013 (UTC) - This has not much sense without blocking 212.183.140.0/26 – two problematic ranges are quickly interchangeable.
