hello iam jhof84 this matter is silly I came across this wiki page. First ive ever seen with deletion problems after reading the deletion pages I had to put my 2cent and someone got mad I see
I have to remind the reporting user that on the WP:SPI page, it specifically states, "CheckUsers will not publicly connect an account with an IP address per the privacy policy except in extremely rare circumstances". 99.53.112.186 (talk) 17:59, 19 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
It would appear that User:FSOJM791 and User:Jhof84 all have similar editing history to User:LeafK1 and should be checked out at the same time. Dan arndt (talk) 09:01, 20 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
At this [deletion nomination, both users contested the deletion, providing no legitimate rationale against arguments being made for deletion, being their first edit on Wikipedia is to contest a deletion nomination likely indicates both users are socks or meats. --Eng.

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments

edit
  •   Self-endorsed by clerk for checkuser attention - this is messy, but disruption is ongoing and it's pretty obvious that editors on both sides of the dispute are either socks or meatballs. Please check separately:
  1. defenders of status quo birth date (1988-89) and single-edit "keep" voters: LeafK1 (talk · contribs), KAFFan (talk · contribs), Jhof84 (talk · contribs), FSOJM791 (talk · contribs)
  2. editors edit warring with the same unreliable source claiming an older birth date (1982-83): Sterned (talk · contribs), Endlessdan (talk · contribs), Sd19944 (talk · contribs)
Many IPs are involved and obviously belong to one of these groups, whether socks or meatpuppets. I believe other editors changing the DOB to even older dates are simple vandals, and this smells like off-wiki collusion to me (probably something like a Reddit "she's old!" thread, but I'm not going looking). Considering long-term protection options for the page. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 15:03, 21 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, not a lot to go on from a technical perspective. Aside from all except one of them geolocating to the same (large) country, and some of them using a similar (and extremely common) OS and browser setup, these accounts all seem to be technically   Unrelated. No obvious similarities between the two groups, either. Yunshui 雲水 08:51, 22 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
