Evidence

After investigating the Talk:China page, it's highly suspected that 211.30.236.143 to be a sock puppet of Sumple, they tried to create the illusion of support in order to undermine scholar Chen Jian's published POV.

First evidence is the same view they were holding against one user to undermine Chen Jian's published POV:

Sumple wrote: lengthy paragraph adds little value to what is already in the paragraph.

Note that "lengthy paragraph" refers to Chen Jian's unique view which has been published in a verifiable/reliable source.

211.30.236.143 wrote: SlimVirgin, why are you giving so much credence to the theory of this one scholar Chen Jian

The second evidence is the fact both accounts are originated from Sydney. Sumple describes himself in his user page that he lives in Syndney, and the IP 211.30.236.143 was also originated from Syndney based on WHOIS results:

inetnum: 211.28.0.0 - 211.31.255.255

netname: OPTUSINTERNET-AU

descr: INTERNET SERVICES

descr: Chatswood, Sydney

Conclusions

One anonymous account made one edit. WP:SOCK isn't clear if an IP even can be considered a sockpuppet; but in any case, not nearly enough evidence. Nothing to do here. AnonEMouse ^(squeak) 22:15, 12 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
