Are Mariabl276 and Nhoftmarch the same person?

Both started as the same time. Both only edited one article. Both had almost the same edits.

Please respond. --Burkina Faso (talk) 17:54, 5 May 2011 (UTC)Reply


Nhoftmarch and I are colleagues and work in the same office (hence the shared IP address). When it was brought to our attention by a third party that there was no mention of Yousef Ikhlayl on the Bat Ayin wikipedia page we worked collaboratively to improve this page. We are not abusing multiple accounts - we edited from both accounts purely for convenience sake (he continued improving the article while I was out of the office).

Request reason:

Autoblocked because your IP address was recently used by "Nhoftmarch". The reason given for Nhoftmarch's block is: "Abusing multiple accounts: Please see: Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigatio

Accept reason:

I see no problem with accepting your request, particularly as the blocking administrator has lifted the original block. JamesBWatson (talk) 19:33, 7 May 2011 (UTC)Reply

  • Perhaps another CU would like to check in, but it does not appear to me that the IPs from which these two accounts edit are clearly assigned to a company, although they seem to be using different computers. -- Avi (talk) 18:04, 6 May 2011 (UTC)Reply


We don't work at a company, we work at a small NGO. Mariabl276 (talk) 20:33, 6 May 2011 (UTC)Reply

We don't make such distinctions; NGOs, non-profits, organizations, multinationals, corporations, clubs, bands, orchestras, fraternities -- all such groups are treated identically. --jpgordon::==( o ) 23:05, 6 May 2011 (UTC)Reply
Ok cool. I was just trying to clarify because the above comment says that our IP address is not assigned to a company. It's not assigned to a company because we are a small nonprofit - our Internet connection is the same kind you would have at a normal house. Mariabl276 (talk) 06:45, 7 May 2011 (UTC)Reply
