Suspected sockpuppets

Evidence is as follows:

  • Admitted to socking as an IP here [1] with the following comments: "I might be an IP, but as a user who uses this exclusively as an anon in public (and as a user while at home), I see nothing wrong with this article... I know what I'm talking about, I'm not naming any names, but I may have promoted all the Evanescence studio albums to GA myself. You may choose to believe me or not, my IP changes constantly while I'm here..."

I should note that in spite of consensus stating the article should be delisted, the IP sock also edited disruptively by reassessing Me & the Rhythm here Wikipedia:Good article reassessment/Me & the Rhythm/1 and unilaterally declared it a GA without consulting anyone else. -- ψλ 02:45, 6 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comments by other users

Accused parties may also comment/discuss in this section below. See Defending yourself against claims.

  • Regardless of who that IP is, that address needs to be blocked, and their comments are basically void due to socking. Snuggums (talk / edits) 03:51, 6 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm sorry. I have no right to close it, but that's not what I meant to do, it was just a vote, not a verdict. Block me if you must, but I'll prove myself. 104.39.27.33 (talk) 14:27, 6 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments

This case is being reviewed by Sro23 as part of the clerk training process. Please allow them to process the entire case without interference, and pose any questions or concerns either on their Talk page or on this page if more appropriate.

  • I'm not seeing any abuse of multiple accounts here. Technically there is no policy preventing editing while logged out, and I don't think blocks would be useful at this time. Nevertheless, I gave the master a warning. Sro23 (talk) 19:46, 6 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Truthfully, I am sorry. The sequence of edits I made had an unintended consequence that I should have noticed yet didn't. I cannot help the IP changing, my college's network just does that. See, it did it again. 104.39.21.217 (talk) 19:52, 6 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
