- Suspected sockpuppets
- User compare report Auto-generated every hour.
- Editor interaction utility
Evidence:
- Both editing 19 Kids and Counting & Talk:19 Kids and Counting, including on the same day (17 July 2014).
- Both making the same disputed changes to 19 Kids and Counting – diffs: 65 first, 65 latest, 68 first, 68 latest.
- For both, first edit to this article were reverts with edit summaries included manual insertion of my username (not auto-inserted by tool/undo button) – diffs 65's, 68's. This tells me that they are both familiar with article history, with my edits, almost certainly edited the article before and not new editors.
- Both use the same argument for inclusion of disputed changes – diffs: 65's, 68's.
- Back each other up for consensus: 68's sole talk page edit back's up 65, who claims s/he is a different user.
- Both edited Married to Medicine on same day (24 June 2014) – diffs: 65's, 68's. They also both edited The Best Man Holiday though eight months apart. This is particularly noteworthy since 68 only has 18 edits, of which seven (practically two-fifths) are on pages 65 edited.
- Both geolocated to Silver Spring, MD. Geolocate tool: 65, 68. Alternate tool: 65, 68. (Tools are Geolocate & Alternate links on bottom of IP contrib pages.) Subject matter does not have connection to this city nor state.
Full disclosure/my comments:
This is all part of a long running disagreement. Info was removed on 16 June. A discussion was raised on talk page on 22 June, but no one cared about including this info. First revert of removal happened on 23 June. Editor did not engage on talk page nor did s/he challenge my revert of her/his addition. An Ohio IP challenged removal on 24–27 June but did not have edit summaries nor engage in discussion. The removal went unchallenged for two weeks until IP 65 showed up on 10 July – 65's first edit summary named me and told me to go to talk page (where I've already discussed & s/he had not).
After 68's talk page comment, I replied that it looks like the same user (listing four reasons). I didn't care enough to formally pursue anything because IP addresses change all the time and I didn't want to misconstrue 68's agreement to be directed at 65. But, 65 was angry at me and Musdan77 said IPs were different, so I provided my evidence. 65 continues to be upset with me, stating that I shouldn't be looking at her/his edit history.
Not sure this is the right location to deal with this issue. But since the two IPs claim to be different users, though evidence says that's unlikely, so socking applies.

- There is no socking in this case, it's just a dynamic IP. A block would need to be in place for this to be socking. Please refer it to the appropriate administrative noticeboard. -- DQ (ʞlɐʇ) 21:05, 21 July 2014 (UTC)
