have made the idential edits to the article Jesse Macbeth (reversing the meaning of the intro), and have refused to discuss changes on the talk page. The edits by Deepthroat followed Jessefriend's 4th revert by five minutes. Together, the three have repeated the revert 12 times today. --Mmx1 23:43, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

Having hit 4rr with Deepthroat, the edits continue with User:Nobunaga25, a bad attempt to impersonate User:Nobunaga24. --Mmx1 00:20, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

Comments

Evidence seems clear that this is a sockpuppet.

• All edits to Jesse Macbeth are identical — reverting the verified, referenced version of the article, with a change to the introductory paragraph.
• Both of the IP addresses come from Ontario, Canada.
• The creation of Jessefriend was on the same day as a number of reverts of 66.11.160.31; all edits were only to the Jesse Macbeth article, with the first edit within 25 minute of username creation.
• The creation of Deepthroat123 was within 5 minutes of the 4th consecutive rv by Jessefriend; with first edit within 1 minute of account creation; and 4 identical reverts within less than 45 minutes.
• The creation of impersonator Nobunaga25 was within 1 minute after the 4th revert by Deepthroat123, and the only edit was the identical reversion to the same article.
