Midgley

[edit]

Something weird is going on here. 86.10.231.219 (talk · contribs), an IP editor who usually 'signs' his posts as The Invisible Anon (For example [1]) is reporting that someone else is now using the username The Invisible Anon (talk · contribs).

The IP editor believes that it may be related to some interpersonal conflicts he has had with some other editors. A CheckUser on User:The Invisible Anon would clear up whether the IP editor is being impersonated, trolled, or has created a sock. TenOfAllTrades(talk) 19:55, 27 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The 'The Invisible Anon" anon has not used IP 86.10.231.219. Based on tracerouting/Ns lookups, I cannot definitevely rule out that they are the same person, but it seems unlikely. Raul654 21:02, 27 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I asked David Gerard on IRC to perform a CheckUser inquiry. He confirmed that Invisible Anon (talk · contribs) and The Invisible Anon (talk · contribs) are indeed sockpuppets of Midgley (talk · contribs). --MarkSweep (call me collect) 21:47, 27 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
