| ::{{ping|Timeshift9}} You do realize this is an IP address and not a user account, right? This is as silly as {{u|Alans1977}}'s ]. — IP addresses change. Many people have dynamic IPs so their IPs change regularly (e.g. daily) without them doing anything (this may be due to their Internet provider). Also editing Misplaced Pages from a different location (e.g. home vs. work vs. library vs. cafe) will give a different IP. Not to mention the Internet provider may have it setup where an IP is shared among a dozen different users. 'Your' IP one day can easily be someone else's IP the next. That's why a user account gets indef block, while IPs just get progressively longer blocks. A change of IP address isn't sockpuppeting unless they're pretending to be multiple users or they're trying to get around a block. That also why, when putting warning templates on an IP page, you should also insert {{template|Shared IP advice}}. ] (]) 02:22, 3 July 2014 (UTC) | |||
| :::I didn't agree with the sockpuppet reporting, as you say it is just two IPs after all. I give Alan the benefit of the doubt, he is still a new user and still learning the ropes (actually, upon checking, his first edit was March 2007, but heightened/noticeful activity only began this year). However, a perm ban would perhaps just possibly just maybe indicate to the user that he is doing something severely wrong and needs to change his behaviour and admit he was wrong in his constant misinterpretation of rules/guidelines. By your apparent interpretation, we shouldn't be placing bans on IP accounts at all - think about it... ] (]) 02:29, 3 July 2014 (UTC) | |||
| ::::Seven years is a long time to be learning the ropes. I guess he's a particularly slow case, and that's why he doesn't really get what IP address are, still doesn't know what is vandalism and what is merely an edit he disagrees with, and thinks that and are useful things to have done. ] (]) 02:46, 3 July 2014 (UTC) | |||
| ::::{{ec}} An indef ban is more likely to prevent edits of the future 'owner' of the IP than the current user. Considering we've already seen an IP change (most likely this happened without user intending it), I wouldn't be surprised if the next time you see this user it'll be a different IP. I've seen long IP blocks (e.g. a year), but this only happens when user keeps the same IP. If user has a different IP every week, then you're unlikely to see a blocks over a week or two because there is no point in blocking a dozen dynamic IPs – at that point ] of the article is the appropriate action. However, at this point, this is all too early. Generally you need a lot more than two instances and a lot more than two IPs. ] (]) 02:56, 3 July 2014 (UTC) | |||

| {{Ivmbox | |||
| |Hi. An editor has opened an investigation into ] by you. Sockpuppetry is the use of more than one Misplaced Pages account in a manner that contravenes community policy. The investigation is being held at ], where the editor who opened the investigation has presented their evidence. Please make sure you make yourself familiar with ], and then feel free to offer your own evidence or to submit comments that you wish to be considered by the Misplaced Pages administrator who decides the result of the investigation. If you ''have'' been using multiple accounts (in a manner contrary to Misplaced Pages policy), please go to the investigation page and verify that now. Leniency is usually shown to those who promise not to do so again, or who did so unwittingly, but the abuse of multiple accounts is taken very seriously by the Misplaced Pages community.{{#if:| ] (]) 17:05, 4 September 2014 (UTC)}} | |||

Unregistered editors using this IP address received messages on this talk page years ago. Since users of the IP address have likely changed, these messages have been removed. They can be viewed in the page history.
