Evidence

Using IP to pretend to be two different people and then using two accounts to change the signiture.[1]

Comments

One person pretending to be three different people.

There are people that live en the same home ¬¬ Sinh is my cousin and he has been living in my house for a year. I normally do not participate in Wikipedia, that edition was the first one. We wrote consecutively our opinions in the discussion page. Unsigned editions are mine when I was not registered or when I was not loginned. And Drjsveca also used his IP (71.127.212.103) in this article when he was not registered ¬¬ --Pedro82 14:18, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

(Comment by uninvolved non-admin) The scenario described by Pedro82 is pretty unlikely. An analysis of their contributions shows that, if what Pedro82 says is true:

October 3 (all times UTC)

• 21:25 - 21:35 Pedro82 comments on talk page as IP, self-described first edit to Wikipedia
• 23:48 Sinh comments on talk page as IP
• 23:49 Sinh logs in, changes sig on his IP comment
• 23:50 Sinh logs out, Pedro sits down, creates account
• 23:51 Pedro changes sig on his IP comment, logs out
• 23:53 Sinh logs in, makes minor spelling change to his comment

Further, on October 4

• 12:06-12:27 after Drjsveca changes their sigs back to the IP, Pedro82 logs in, changes sigs back
• 12:36 Pedro82 logs out, then leaves comment on Drjsveca talk page
• 12:58 Pedro82, a new user, finds the un-announced sock report and comments (still logged out)
• 14:18-15:32 Pedro82 logs in, fixes sigs from previous two posts, makes add'l comment

In addition:

• Pedro82 is, so far, a single purpose account, editing two related articles that Sinh has been having conflicts in.
• Both Pedro and Sinh occasionally use the strange character string ¬¬ in their edit summaries or comments
• It should be noted that this sockpuppetry, or (at best) meatpuppetry is being used on Tekken 6 to avoid 3RR in a revert war.
• It should be noted that Drjsveca, along with his previous IP address, has also violated 3RR on Tekken 6.
