Evidence

A check of the above users' Talk Pages, [1], [2], [3], [4], [5] shows identical language, conduct warnings from other editors, incivility from the user, and arguments about the same issues in the same articles.

User 74.195.5.83 continues discussion right where 199 left off. [6]; [7].
Right around the same time, user claims they should be unblocked because they are new to Wiki (with the exact same language and tone as before, and the same claim that they "did nothing wrong") [8]
User 199.80.117.24 makes uncivil comments on Talk Page [9]; is blocked for six months; returned tonight to leave a very similar comment, with a reference to the deleted remarks, from IP 74.195.5.83 [10]
User 199.80.117.24 makes edit with uncivil edit summary that is partially responsible for a six-month ban on March 9; [11]; continues debate three days later, but from a different IP. [12]

User 74.195.3.199 is blocked for one week [13] on February 17; uses Boukenger to make uncivil remarks on Talk Page [14] later the same day, and is promptly blocked by admins as a sock. [15]. User subsequently admits he used the Boukenger account to get around the block and sees no problem with it. [16].

User 199.80.117.24 is blocked on January 6 for a period of one week, [17]; user edits as Boukenger four days later [18], using the same given name ("Rocky") used for IP 74.195.3.199. [19]

Comments

User has a long history of disruptive edits, personal attacks on Talk Pages, and incivility. The writing style, pages edited, and general tone of each of these IP's comments is identical. When editing for one IP stops (or is blocked), another on this list begins. In addition, the user has already freely admitted that he owns the Boukenger account, and that he used it to circumvent a block.

Conclusions

Likely the same user, but the account has stopped editing and the IPs may have changed hands. Please report any further disruptive behavior. Seraphimblade ^{Talk to me} 14:44, 28 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
