Suspected sockpuppets
Master was blocked previously for 1 week for edit-warring on Pegida (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views). The named account sock has a name very similar to the original master. Now, all of a sudden, we have all these IP ducks quacking and tagging the article without talkpage discussion. As soon as I reverted Tim"DerTimotheus"Rice's unnecessary tagging of the article and the overly long and POV commentary in the "reason=" template field of the tags, brand new dynamic IPs started edit-warring adding unjustified tags to the article. The IPs geolocate in Kansas. After an idea by EvergreenFir I have opened this SPI per blatant WP:DUCK. Dr. K. 06:58, 3 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Additional evidence
- POV diatribes in the "reason=" field of tags
- Penchant to blank their talkpages
- Propensity to self-revert
- Using their talkpages to host article tags and then reverting
- Use of the span tag both for IP socks and Tim"DerTimotheus"Rice
- IP sock 97.126.118.43 adding PAs on talk after article protection
- IP sock 97.126.120.137 trying to justify the edits of IP sock 75.172.42.186

- The two accounts are Technically indistinguishable, blocked and tagged. I do not recommend blocking either IP range because of collateral damage. Hopefully, semi-protection will fix the problem.--Bbb23 (talk) 15:48, 3 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Article was semi-protected and I've semi-protected the talk page for good measure. Mike V • Talk 04:29, 10 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
