- Evidence submitted by Kww
This edit seems to be toying with us. Given that I'm confused by any possible motive, I think a checkuser is in order to see if this is a confession of block evasion or an attempt to get an innocent blocked. Given the contents of the IP's talk page, I'm inclined to believe that this is block evasion.—Kww(talk) 14:58, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
- Replying to Nathan: this edit is the major tie: Ryan1768 is trying to exit the autoblock, and is referring to the same IP address. The main editing overlap is British pop, which, given that the address is in Britain, I'm willing to concede is not strong evidence. The anonymous editing jumps back and forth between the Pixie Lott articles that are pretty obviously Greenock125, and the JLS articles that are the province of Ryan1768. It's apparent that at the very least, Greenock125 is using the anonymous IP to evade the block. So, the real question here is this: is it safe to hardblock 81.104.129.242 to get rid of Greenock125 for good? Or is doing so going to sweep up an innocent user? If Ryan1768 is the same user, a hardblock is appropriate. If they are clearly separate users, then maybe an IP block exemption is in order. One way or the other, something needs to be done to block the IP at some level.—Kww(talk) 00:00, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

- This edit is eerily reminiscent of Greenock125's level of quality control (it adds an album by VV Brown to JLS's discography). When I warned the IP about it, they promptly blanked their talk page - which was, if I remember correctly, Greenock125's usual response to warnings.

- Might also be worth considering Ryan1768, per this edit (Ryan1768 uses the IP address 81.104.129.242 while making an unblock request). Ryan1768's edits seem to coincide with Greenock125 and 81.104.129.242's, too. Cheers, TFOWRThis flag once was red 16:37, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
- CheckUser requests
{{RFCU}} is deprecated. Please change the case status parameter in {{SPI case status}} to "CURequest" instead.

- Current status – Completed: Reviewed by a Checkuser, results and comments are below. Requested by —Kww(talk) 14:58, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
Clerk endorsed to determine connection between the IP and the two user accounts and to check if a hardblock would create any collateral damage or not. MuZemike 20:35, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
- Clerk, patrolling admin and checkuser comments
- Can we have some evidence that connects the two accounts? The "toying" diff above is from the already blocked account, but I don't see any obvious connection to the Ryan account? Nathan T 23:48, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
- Conclusions
- Confirmed Greenock125 = Ryan1768 = The IP. All the users on the IP appear to be socks of Greenock125. I've hardblocked the IP for a month. --Versageek 20:43, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
