[edit] 62.212.208.65

Similar activity in time, scope (articles), similar edit summaries and English language mistakes. //Halibutt 19:41, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

Declined Insufficient reason to confirm the user's IP address, and nothing else to do here. Obvious use of the IP to avoid 3RR may be treated as such without checkuser confirmation. Thatcher 23:34, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

I'd like to request a revision of that; if this is indeed a sock than it has been used to cheat 3rr and bait other users into breaking it, among other things. Certainly such disruptive behavior should be analyzed and either ruled out or stopped.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 04:54, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Inconclusive Different ISPs in a similar geographic area. I'd guess they are different people but they might know each other in real life. No comment on the IPs at this time. Thatcher 18:41, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

Most likely all these users live in Vilnius (pop. 0.5 mil.) and many of reverts are related to the name of the city they probably live in (they changed "Vilna region" to "Vilnius region"). Most inhabitants of Vilnius use the name Vilnius, not Vilna, and sock/meatpuppeting is a very unlikely cause of edits. English language mistakes are quite common in Vilnius too. --Doopdoop (talk) 22:22, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
