Suspected sockpuppets

Behaviorally, they talk the same. [[1]] [[2]]. They even have similar articles in common. Either this is a meatpuppet, specifically recruited from IRC or something, or a sockpuppet. since these users edit IRC related articles, i wouldn't be surprised if the user was savvy enough to use different IPs for his sockpuppetry. There are also COI issues with Tothwolf editing Eggdrop, but i have queried the COI board and want to make sure I'm not outing before i mention anything specific.

Some sort of collusion is going on off-wiki, for sure, because I tried to remove a wiki as a source from Eggdrop, and Tothwolf added it back. we spoke on the discussion page and I explained why I didn't think a wiki was a reliable source. I was then warned by an admin for edit warring, and he wasn't. then the sockpuppets showed up, and another random editor requested full protection for the page. check the history of Eggdrop and the warning i received at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Theserialcomma#Eggdrop, and see for yourself if any of that was warranted, and only for me. i assume tothwolf colluded with these people on IRC and they agreed to help him. i'm not sure if that is a violation of any policies, but the admin in question certainly did not approach the situation in the best way possible, and the whole situation is getting fishier and fishier.
