***It is true that "confirmed" and "unrelated" refer only to the strength of the IP-related evidence, and not the actual claim of sockpuppetry. By the same token, though, it is wrong to say that "unrelated" means there is no technical evidence. We have an "inconclusive" tag for that. An "unrelated" determination means that the evidence indicates that the accounts are not the same; simplified, the IPs are unrelated. There might be other overriding confirming evidence not involving the IPs, just as in a confirmed case, there might be disconfirming non-technical evidence, but that doesn't mean that there is a lack of technical evidence. ]·] 06:10, 8 April 2011 (UTC) ***It is true that "confirmed" and "unrelated" refer only to the strength of the IP-related evidence, and not the actual claim of sockpuppetry.

Suspected sockpuppets

Please list evidence below this line. Remember to sign at the end of your section with 4 tilde characters "~~~~"

All these people came to edit when one discussion and undoing reverts began on Tsitsernavank Monastery, Gandzasar monastery and Karabakh Khanate, Monte Melkonian. I have studied contributions of Misplaced Pages:Sockpuppet investigations/Meowy/Archive and Scribble^3. Just look at the articles Misplaced Pages:Sockpuppet investigations/Meowy/Archive, Misplaced Pages:Sockpuppet investigations/Hetoum I/Archive and how many times these two people used puppet users, specially when they were blocked by administrative users. The contributions of blocked people look the same with the users I am reporting to you. Can you check please? Dighapet (talk) 19:01, 7 April 2011 (UTC)

  • Comment - Vidovler (talk · contribs) and Monte Melkonian (talk · contribs) are checkuser confirmed to be unrelated to each other: Misplaced Pages:Sockpuppet investigations/Aram-van, at least technically. Magog the Ogre (talk) 19:13, 7 April 2011 (UTC)
    • Checkuser does not ever disprove sock puppetry. The "unrelated" tag is a misnomer. It should say "no technical evidence". Jehochman 19:46, 7 April 2011 (UTC)
