Suspected sockpuppets


Evidence submitted by O Fenian

This has previously been dealt with at Misplaced Pages:Sockpuppet investigations/The Maiden City, but since there are two sockmasters at work it seems sensible to create a dedicated one for Factocop. Factocop initially edited as several IPs, 147.114.44.200 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log), 147.114.44.201 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) and 147.114.44.208 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) before creating an account and carrying on the same edit wars on the same articles. Since the indefinite block of Factocop and several of his sockpuppets, 147.114.44.201 is now carrying on the same disputes here and here. Here Factocop says "NC, I think your alias O Fenian will confirm my IP address given that he had me blocked while I was operating under an IP and before I had set up an account". That is where he denies this accusation - "Factocop, please stop the pretense that IP 87.113.26.186 is anyone other than yourself, it really is growing old". So he denies that he has an 87 prefixed IP, and admits I know what his IP is as I had it blocked. There is the block. Due to him using several IPs on a fast-rotating basis I never made any AIV reports, but I made several page protection requests. O Fenian (talk) 10:36, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

Now moved onto another IP, would suggest any preventative block covers all three IPs listed in the evidence above, have not listed the third IP in the list of sockpuppets as there have been no edits from it for several days. O Fenian (talk) 17:15, 29 September 2010 (UTC)
Added Dame edna uk (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) based on their first edit being to Talk:Giant's Causeway, the same target as several previous sockpuppets. O Fenian (talk) 09:19, 1 October 2010 (UTC)
And according to Dame edna uk's talk page they are caught in some sort of IP block due to their IP recently being used by Factocop, how odd.. O Fenian (talk) 16:40, 1 October 2010 (UTC)
Comments by accused parties   

See Defending yourself against claims.

I seem to be blocked from editing and I am guessing because my name has been brought up in this investigation. There doesnt seem to be any evidence against me other than I have edited on a page that a blocked user has done so in the past just the same as OFenian has done, which is not neccessarily a crime...I hope! I think if you look at the comments I have made, they have all been very constructive and non-disruptive unlike titled offender. Certainly the first IP 147.114.44.200 seems to have posted on the Quassim Cassam WP which couldn't be any further from topics relating to Northern Ireland. As for the evidence against Factocop, you have just posted past conversations from a discussion. Thats not really evidence. http://www.wisegeek.com/are-we-really-running-out-of-ip-addresses.htm And given that there are more internet connections than IP addresses there ofcourse are going to be a lot of people operating as socks without realising.Dame edna uk (talk) 15:44, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

Comments by other users

It seems a bit unfair to me that this has been set up when he is blocked with talk page disabled and won't be able to defend himself. The C of E. God Save The Queen! (talk) 08:04, 30 September 2010 (UTC)

OK, I will spell it out, since it is not apparent to most users here. I have confirmed a bunch of accounts as being socks of this user; this user claims that that this is a whole bunch of people on a huge banking network. If this is the case, then why is this user editing almost exclusively on (Northern) Ireland-related topics with the same motives? –MuZemike 04:53, 1 October 2010 (UTC)
