These three users have been active in a move debate at Talk:Reformations. Editing histories of all three users have been very similar (see their user contributions). Both IP addresses appear to be located in the same city. The suspicion arises that these are all the same person. 202.124.72.94 (talk) 13:31, 2 July 2012 (UTC)

Checkusers will not connect named accounts to IPs, and as such the CU request will probably be declined unless there are other registered users you believe are socks. Regards, MacMed^talk_stalk 16:40, 4 July 2012 (UTC)

•  Clerk declined - Checkusers cannot disclose any connection between named accounts and IP addresses, so any determination will have to be made on behavioral evidence. ​—DoRD (talk)​ 17:10, 4 July 2012 (UTC)

All three accounts actively engaged in requested move discussion at Talk:Reformations. The two IPs have a pattern of editing that is very similar to that of Wikitam331. The three sometimes refers to edits made by the others in a way that suggests they may be one and the same. For example, at 02:31, 3 July 2012, 76.125.166.228 made this edit apparently referring to this edit by Wikitam331 made only a moment earlier. While I have no problem with editors who might forget to login, in this case the three have each !voted in the move discussion. older ≠ wiser 17:54, 3 July 2012 (UTC)

Checkusers will not connect a named account with an IP. If there are other registered socks you believe belong to Wikitam, feel free to post them. Otherwise this will most likely be declined. Regards, MacMed^talk_stalk 22:29, 3 July 2012 (UTC)

• The three accounts edit only Reformations and articles linked from it; the two IPs are in the same city; it does seem that all three are the same person. -- 202.124.74.41 (talk) 05:41, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments
