Libs SPI

I just KNOW I'm gonna catch flak for even asking this, but can you clarify your confirmation of Libs as the various accounts? --King Öomie 14:36, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

Whoops, here. --King Öomie 14:37, 22 October 2009 (UTC)
There appears to be quite a bit of shock at the results, which is never good. I'll ask another CU to review my findings. Brandon (talk) 16:42, 22 October 2009 (UTC)
I consulted with another CU, who didn't find the direct link I thought I had saw when I first ran the check. So I went back and rechecked everything and my original findings do still seem correct, albeit with less of a direct connection. Wiki libs and two of the "Australian" users share a common Canadian ISP. All except BC Rocky can be chained to each other via overlapping ISPs. Brandon (talk) 08:12, 23 October 2009 (UTC)
That ISP has something like an 80% market share in Canada- it can almost be completely discounted. --King Öomie 13:01, 23 October 2009 (UTC)
When accounts that claim to be in Australia appear on the same range as Wiki libs, with the same user agent as Wiki libs it is more than a coincidence. While the range might have 65k IPs, it houses about 200 users. The chances of two users with the same interests appearing among those 200 is almost 0. When he returns we can see how he explains it, if he claims to have no idea who the other accounts are I will forward my evidence to functionaries-l for review. Brandon (talk) 13:27, 23 October 2009 (UTC)
Also I will update the SPI case later today to better reflect the new evidence. Brandon (talk) 13:29, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

Case updated. The new information might help explain why I'm confident of the connection. Brandon (talk) 22:34, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

Racepacket

Per my request here and recent evidence, I have reason to believe that Baechter is one of Racepacket's associates in real life who he has contacted and used an old Misplaced Pages account to make his comment at this RFC/U. Based on the evidence you initially found, are Racepacket and Baechter in a geographic proximity to prove meatpuppetry or some sort of collusion?—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 07:06, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

Both users are in the same geographic area, yes. Brandon (talk) 13:31, 23 October 2009 (UTC)
Close enough that the owners of both accounts might be the same person or that they might be acquaintances in real life?—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 20:15, 23 October 2009 (UTC)
