Evidence

Standard stuff, immediate knowledge of editing/policies/guidelines/procedures for new editors. All of these editors have come in effectively with a single purpose-to revert changes to the binary prefixes. One of them, after being asked about sock puppetry, effectively confirmed that these are either sock or meat puppets [1]. However, every one of them who has spoken exhibits a typing tendency characteristic of Planetary Chaos, namely, not using spaces after punctuation (especially periods or commas), or before sigs. Some examples:

  • Planetary Chaos: [2] (edit summary), [3].
  • 209.247.23.17: [4], [5], [6].
  • 209.244.42.183: [7]
  • 209.247.21.237: [8]
  • 63.215.28.13 has not engaged in any communication or used anything but auto edit summaries, so hasn't done anything which would exhibit the typing error, but has shown the same single-purpose behavior.

Given this same typing error (which is really not a very common one) being repeated this frequently, and all of the IP's repeating it being here for the same purpose (reverting binary prefix edits), it looks pretty clear to me that the same person is behind the edits. Planetary Chaos participated extensively in the discussion regarding the MOS change on this matter, but has not spoken to it or been involved after the anonymous reverts began.

Also noted that Planetary Chaos used vandalism templates on User talk:Sarenne regarding the binary content dispute [9], [10], [11], a practice also engaged in by the IP editors [12], [13], [14].

It appears these users are socks of Piratesofsml. Planetary Chaos has edited Doberman Pinscher and John Adams in pretty much the exact same vein of Piratesofxml, and Piratesofxml and his socks exhibit the same typing idiosyncrasy.

Well, ofcourse your wrong ,Sarenne could be a sock puppet of you and I could form evidence infavor of that also.But we will wait and see and when it comes back as no they are not the same how foolish you will look. Have a nice day.209.247.23.17 22:53, 11 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If you really think Sarenne's my sock, please feel free to put a case up! I'd be happy to volunteer for a checkuser, for that matter. And I could be wrong, and if I am you have my apologies, and so does PC. However, it sure does look a lot like it to me, I wouldn't make an accusation unless I were quite sure I was correct.

Speaking of check user go ahead and check me against all the other whom you claim I am.209.247.23.17 22:57, 11 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hey I added my self and every one you say is me on check user.Hope the results smak you down a notch.209.247.23.17 23:08, 11 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Came here via the AN/I thread. This editor is also linked with IP 63.3.11.2 (talk · contribs), which assisted the main account in edits to South Mountain Park in mid-January. In December and early January, 63.3.11.2 was used by a now indef blocked user and sockpupeteer. That user also edited from a number of dynamic IPs from the 209.24x range. The editor in question has a history of, among other things, taking a very US-centric approach to MOS issues (especially on Doberman Pinscher, which Planetary Chaos has also taken an interest in) and using multiple accounts and IPs to create the illusion of support for his actions. A past history with sock puppetry and checkuser cases would help explain the interest Planetary Chaos has shown in sockpuppetry cases, as evidenced by his talk page. There are other clues, but those some of the clearer ones.
At any rate, in light of the past history from these IP ranges, I think a request for checkuser is in order, to see if an indef block for this account is appropriate and to try to root out any sleepers. Since the anon coming from 209.24x is so confident that no link will be found to Planetary Chaos, I think it's a safe bet that the editor hasn't been editing from that ISP while logged in to that account, but it should still be possible to find a link to the old, blocked accounts, and from there the link to the dynamic IPs is blazingly obvious. -- Vary | Talk 03:02, 12 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

What about 209.244.42.180 commenting on .183 talk page as .183 and signing .180 [15]?
