Berean Hunter, is there a case name to report this sock? As you know, I usually report this sock to you, but I wanted to give you a break and just report the sock master at WP:SPI. Foodboy31 is the sock I was looking to report. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 03:08, 11 September 2019 (UTC)
- It's him and I've gone ahead and blocked with no other accounts seen, Flyer22 Reborn. For future reference, it is this case.

Recent SPI?
I see 71.90.77.226 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) was blocked. Wanted to point out 70.92.25.15 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) EvergreenFir (talk) 03:49, 12 September 2019 (UTC)
- Per checkuser and privacy policies, I cannot discuss IP addresses so any that you believe that may be related to a sock are best handled by non-checkuser admins. You may report the IPs to the respective SPI cases if you have evidence. Checkusers do consider IP information given in cases but they do not give feedback.
— Berean Hunter (talk) 06:59, 12 September 2019 (UTC)- Got it. Thanks. EvergreenFir (talk) 12:19, 12 September 2019 (UTC)

Sockpuppetry and undoing legitimate edits
Hi. It seems you uncovered a case of sockpuppetry on visa related articles. I am not surprised about this given the high amount of vandalism and trolling recently. Nevertheless, some edits that were reverted by you were legitimate and I have reinstated them. Whether this was because the edits were not made by a sockpuppet or for other reasons I do not know but after checking the references I have established that they are legitimate updates and should stay in those articles. Cheers, --Twofortnights (talk) 18:30, 14 September 2019 (UTC)
- I have no objection to your taking ownership of the edits, Twofortnights as long as you understand that you are responsible for them. I wouldn't want all of a sockpuppet's contribs restored as that would encourage them to sock. For edits that are in Russian, it would be best to offer an English translation for our readers...perhaps leaving the original Russian intact as well.
— Berean Hunter (talk) 19:52, 14 September 2019 (UTC)- Thanks. I have reinstated the edits in English Wiki only.--Twofortnights (talk) 23:54, 14 September 2019 (UTC)

I've now applied indef EC protection to the article. The last protection was by you for one year. Not sure why I'm letting you know, but if you disagree, please say! This appears to be the latest sock, judging by behavior. Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 19:48, 16 September 2019 (UTC)
- Good call Ed, I endorse the EC protection and the sock is confirmed.

IP
diff, diff, diff - reverted my recent edits for no apparent reason - appears to be targeting me. Atsme Talk 📧 16:12, 17 September 2019 (UTC)
- Atsme, that is a proxy which I've now anon blocked.
— Berean Hunter (talk) 16:24, 17 September 2019 (UTC)
The irony - I initially thought editing dog & equine articles would be peaceful and fun.

Back in July 2017 you removed something I added concerning CSI Miami I was actually watching the programme at the time I added what I did and it was the character Calleigh that spoke of him I'm sorry if I breached any rules by adding what I did but it is also mentioned about that particular episode by murderpedia — Preceding unsigned comment added by Moondustcloud (talk • contribs) 17:30, 17 September 2019 (UTC)

checkuser question
Hey, Berean Hunter! I saw user Asbosaurus is blocked for being a puppet of FightingForRight, and that you'd marked it 'likely' a sock. Are you allowed to tell me if that means they were actually editing from the same IP? The reason I'm wondering is that the writing/complaints seem different to me, and the timing on the Asbosaurus account almost seems like they made that first edit and then wandered off, not realizing for nearly six months that they'd been blocked. --valereee (talk) 13:32, 28 September 2019 (UTC)
- valereee, in this case I do not have any documentation other than the checkuser log to base this on now as things have gone stale. Asbosaurus was using a now-blocked proxy in the southeastern section of the same country as FightingForRight which is not in Mark Shouldice's country. They were not using the same IP and Asbosaurus's actual location was obscured by the webhost. Asbosaurus's current post (non-proxy) is using the same ISP as FightingForRight was using. Although both editors are in the southeastern section of the same country, they are not in the immediate vicinity of each other. One of FightingForRight's IPs after I blocked is tied into a very large organizational network. There are scenarios where the distance could be explained such as logging into one's employer's proxy. I don't have the full picture in front of me as FightingForRight is stale.
- I note that Ian.thomson states that he has evidence of meatpuppetry here so he may be able to shed more light on the situation.
