[edit] Vandalism Alert

In violation of Wikipedia rules against vandalism, User:130.156.30.59 blanked this entire talk page.

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:130.156.31.143&diff=prev&oldid=102931428

That would be odd enough, since this is User:130.156.31.143’s talk page, except that User:130.156.30.59 is User:130.156.31.143 … and User: 130.156.29.61 … and User: 130.156.30.57 and User:130.156.29.134! They are all guises of the Bloomfield College Sockpuppetmaster.

Wikipedia administrators are now apparently wise to this sockpuppetmaster, since they have at one nexus now joined all of the accounts, so that when I just hit User:130.156.30.59, I got a page with "contributions" from four of the Bloomfield College IPs.

User:130.156.30.59, aka the Bloomfield College Sockpuppet, blanked out the following alert. 70.23.199.239 00:04, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Possible Sockpuppet Alert

I have found yet another possible sockpuppet being used by the same editor: User:130.156.31.143. User: 130.156.31.143 today employed the identical m.o. as User: 130.156.29.61 and User: 130.156.29.134, of following me at every article I worked on and undoing my edits without ever listing what he had done Special:Contributions/130.156.31.143, and like the other two IPs, he originated from Bloomfield College. He also violated Wikipedia rules on 6 September 2006, by secretly deleting an entire passage by another editor (not me) on the Talk:Jim_McGreevey page.
