I think there's no reasonable doubt that FelixtheCatHM is 218.103.141.4 and 219.77.181.187. Now, connecting to Brianyau323:
First, look at the IP addresses listed in Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/Brianyau323 (3rd). All pointing to the same Hong Kong ISP.
Now, the named socks in Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/Brianyau323 and Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/Brianyau323 (2nd):
Cheetahbrian edited Cheetah-licious Christmas (song), One World (song) and If I Never Knew You (The Cheetah Girls song). Brianyau323 edited Dance Me If You Can, One World (song), and If I Never Knew You (The Cheetah Girls song). FrJonas edited So This Is Love (The Cheetah Girls song).
Examining the contribution history of FelixtheCatHM also shows a strong pattern of editing Miley Cyrus related articles, a pattern shared by Brianyau323, FrJonas, and Cheetahbrian.—Kww(talk) 17:58, 14 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
