XAndreWx[edit]

XAndreWx has repeatedly breached rules around the 3RR rule - and I believe he has attempted to subvert this by sock puppeteering.

The user coming in on IP address '89.240.154.160' has only significantly edited the Second city of the United Kingdom article where currently a edit 'war' is going on which XAndreWx is heavily involved. He's also edited the pages of users that XAndreWx has had disagreements with - only.

All of the multiple revisions for the same text come from XAndreWx and 89.240.154.160 come from http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Second_city_of_the_United_Kingdom&action=history

Here are the diffs for both accounts for Second city of the United Kingdom:

Furthermore XAndreWx was originally blocked for the 3RR rule by User:Irishguy for this article here: 22:41, 15 July 2007

This block was overturned by User:Evilclown93, also known as User:Maxim, on the request of XAndreWx's adoptor User:Giggy, with the comment of "Giggy has asked me to remove it, and I trust you've cooled off by now." here: 01:48, 16 July 2007

Even though XAndreWx was unblocked he again repeatedly violated the 3RR rule - in fact violating it at least six times since he was unblocked a few days ago (he has since been blocked again).

I also believe that he then resorted to sock puppeteering to continue the revisions (three more identical revisions were made) - I have also created a 3RR complaint and a sock puppet complaint which documents the evidence I have gathered in this matter also.

no Declined. We can't out IP addresses except under unusual circumstances. At the same time, I think it passes the duck test. Mackensen (talk) 11:11, 25 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
