FergusM1970 is using an IP sock to evade a 1RR restriction on a Troubles related article. As FergusM1970 is unable to revert using his account, we have a first then a second edit to remove a sourced term FergusM1970 objects to and has repeatedly edit warred to remove, then minutes later FergusM1970 makes his first edit of the day to the talk page. Highly convenient timing, especially considering the IPs edits to revert in exactly the same way as FergusM1970. 2 lines of K₃₀₃ 13:42, 4 August 2012 (UTC)

"FergusM1970 is using an IP sock" - You seem awfully sure about that. I hope you have the evidence to back up your allegation or it could well come across as malicious.--FergusM1970 (talk) 14:33, 4 August 2012 (UTC)

Merely starting my opinion. I choose not to be too verbose when I'm busy. 2 lines of K₃₀₃ 14:35, 4 August 2012 (UTC)

Bring it on. Someone run Checkuser on my IP address so we can put this to bed.--FergusM1970 (talk) 13:45, 4 August 2012 (UTC)

In the interests of fairness, of course, I think Checkuser should also be run on User:One_Night_In_Hackney. I'm sure he won't object to that.--FergusM1970 (talk) 13:58, 4 August 2012 (UTC)

If you want to open an SPI case, go right ahead. 2 lines of K₃₀₃ 14:00, 4 August 2012 (UTC)

Checkuser doesn't work that way. And checkuser won't be used here regardless, and it will not link IPs to addresses. If you think Hackney is a sock, then you need to stick your neck out by filing an SPI, providing diffs and naming a master, just like any other editor is expected to.

I have no idea if Hackney is a sock or not, but I'm very sure that I'm not using any. Is there anything I can do to help the admins get this frivolous complaint dealt with and closed as quickly as possible?--FergusM1970 (talk) 14:21, 4 August 2012 (UTC)

Well if you'd care to stop blocking me? 86.29.118.119 (talk) 14:10, 4 August 2012 (UTC) The accounts which are almost certainly you are now all stale. But of course there may be others, so bring it on. On the stale accounts, behavioural evidence is overwhelming. Intersted editors should spend a bit of time researching this. It's bloody galling that this guy Hackney spends his wp time doing nothing but reverting other users and making sock accusations, when beyond a shadow of a doubt he's one of the biggest sockers around. 86.29.147.215 (talk) 14:04, 4 August 2012 (UTC) LOL! Wrong! And just who are you a sock of Hackney? Your style is identical to at least two editors I could mention. You know, those editors that never add content, but just revert other editors all the time. You know who I'm talking about. 86.31.165.112 (talk) 13:46, 4 August 2012 (UTC) Oh, and there's massive other similarities between you and a couple of others I can think of (one now apparently retired). I can't believe no one has spotted this yet!!!!! 86.31.165.112 (talk) 13:48, 4 August 2012 (UTC)

This seems a flimsy allegation as part of a dispute. I also am stopped by 1RR from reverting the term "summarily executed". Why not accuse me of being a sockpuppet? This seems more like an attack on another editor and Fergus has shown no inclination to hide his many edits on this from what I can see.--Flexdream (talk) 14:22, 4 August 2012 (UTC)

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments

I've hard blocked the IP for 1RR violations on Troubles related articles. Dennis Brown - 2¢ © Join WER 13:56, 4 August 2012 (UTC)
I've also semi-protected the article for 3 months, and whacked a few IP block evading socks, and semi-protected this page. Dennis Brown - 2¢ © Join WER 14:17, 4 August 2012 (UTC)
