Report date September 18 2009, 21:38 (UTC)[edit]
Suspected sockpuppets



Evidence submitted by OhanaUnited

Many instances of "logging out of account A and coming back as account B".

At Talk:Van Jones, JohnHistory (JH) made some edits from 23:20 to 23:30 (all UTC), 4 September 2009.[1] ObserverNY (ONY) made 1 edit on 23:31[2] and 1 on 23:32[3] before switching back to using JH at 23:38.[4] The next day, IP made an edit on the page[5], before JH came in 5 mins later and corrected the signature[6], and then 3 mins later ONY appears and adds a new section to the page.[7] More of similar behaviour are found at Van Jones.

In addition, ONY and JH both have a "broken" signature that are identical in formatting. Both have a non-linked username right after their linked signature + timestamp, which kind of gave away the relationships between both accounts.
