http://meta.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Michaeldsuarez/Sockpuppetry Basedircrory (talk) 16:00, 3 October 2012 (UTC) In this page User:Michaeldsuarez proves that Cupco is a sockpuppet of Dualus and Nrcprm2026. Read the page. Excerpt from the page is as follows: "Cupco is a relatively new account. The account was created in late August 2012. Early on, Cupco contributed heavily to en:Birth_control. Cupco's first revision to his or her user talk page hints at Cupco formerly being an anonymous (IP address) user. Which anonymous user? Let's start by examining the anonymous contributors to en:Birth_control from before August 28th:

• 70.59.11.32 – Qwest, Reference desk.
• 75.166.200.250 – Qwest, Reference desk.

Both IP addresses belong to Qwest. Both participated in en:Talk:Birth_control. Both contribute to enwiki's Reference desk. Now, compare these IP addresses to Cupco. They look very similar, don't they? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Basedircrory (talk • contribs)

I have two articlespace overlaps with the IP addresses in question above ("they look very similar, don't they") -- that's 1/4 as many as with the previous retaliatory fishing expedition from an a GNAA sympathizer. Now the banned GNAA members and/or sympathizers are going after me in retaliation for whatever reason. See [1], [2], [3], and [4]. —Cupco 02:29, 4 October 2012 (UTC)

The 75.166.200.250 editor is very clearly Dualus / Npmay / Nrcprm2026 / LessIsNotMore. The IP's very first edit [5] very clearly establishes this, as it is part of a long series of exchanges pushing some unique ideas about dark matter. I believe the series of edits at birth control and the talk page are enough to establish that Cupco is the same as 75.166.200.250. --Amble (talk) 07:04, 4 October 2012 (UTC)

It's also not hard to find evidence to tie Cupco directly to the person behind the Dualus / Npmay / Nrcprm2026 / LessIsNotMore accounts, which as before I hesitate to post because it could be personally identifying. --Amble (talk) 07:31, 4 October 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for finding this information, I had previously opened an SPI but it was dismissed without CU. Maractus (talk) 16:45, 4 October 2012 (UTC)

Note: - Cupco has since quit over, "off-wiki harassment of family". I advise the CU go on regardless. Maractus (talk) 16:50, 4 October 2012 (UTC)
