Suspected sockpuppets


Some new Wikipedians are trying to remove "inconvenient" parts of the article Ian Dowbiggin. Especially the part about gay rights and his connection to the pro-life movement are regularly removed, although they are properly sourced. The contested parts van be found here (pro-life), here (opponent of euthanasia) and here (gay rights).

Connected with this: user "Idowbiggin" and "Witte22" have only edited on Ian Dowbiggin, doing the same type of edits. After I gave an explanation to Witte22, suddenly "Pro Veritas Vincit II" shows up, and started editing on a very positive way for Ian Dowbiggin. I suspect the three to be one and the same and to be identical with the subject. Night of the Big Wind talk 20:36, 13 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Idowbiggin and Witte22 are  Confirmed as each other. Pro Veritas Vincit (talk · contribs) and Pro Veritas Vincit II are  Confirmed as each other. The two pairs of socks are  Unlikely as a each for each other. In any sense, I have semi-protected Ian Dowbiggin for 1 week for BLP concerns and for socking. –MuZemike 20:41, 13 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

information Administrator note I have blocked Idowbiggin and Witte22 as socks. However, the editing patterns of Pro Veritas Vincit and Pro Veritas Vincit II are not necessarily indicative of sockpuppetry. Will warn to only use one account.
