Evidence

Maviswwc appears to be a single-purpose account for editing Hutchison Whampoa. Their MO is continually reverting the article to a preferred revision and ignoring all requests to discuss the issue. Edits display a pro-Hutchison POV. Suspect IP is registered to Hutchison and makes the same edits while ignoring talk messages. I allege sockpuppetry for purposes of 3RR evasion and subverting the normal system of warning escalation. —dgiestc 05:49, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Comments

Request checkuser on Maviswwc to determine if they are in the same city or ISP as 202.45.68.57. —dgiestc 05:43, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

  • This is Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets. If you want Checkuser, go to WP:RCU. But they won't comment on IP addresses due to privacy issues. Anyway, looking at the times of the edits, it doesn't appear that there's a 3RR violation here--the user(s) seem to know the rules, and they avoid breaking them. Since the user(s) aren't discussing on the talk page the best thing is to go to requests for page protection. --Akhilleus (talk) 06:45, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
    • Sigh. Yes they haven't violated the letter of 3RR, but it's not severe enough sockpuppetry to warrant a checkuser probably, so I didn't really know where else to go. —dgiestc 06:55, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
Conclusions

This isn't a sockpuppet problem. The page has been fully protected, and hopefully the user will now discuss changes to the article. Closing. --Akhilleus (talk) 18:15, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
