Joaquinn02 performed the same edit as Phillipines IP 49.145.225.29.[1] When Joaquinn02 tried to create a promotional article about his own business, Music Lyrics Video TV (Lyric Creator), he said in the edit summary that it was in the Philippines.

At the article Nothing to Lose (Michael Learns to Rock album), Philippines IP 49.145.232.99 asserted that "Forever and a Day" was released as a single in 1998.[2] This was reverted, and then Michael Ylvisaker added "Forever and a Day" released as a single in March 1998.[3] This connects the IPs to the master. Joaquinn02 was also interested in the topic.[4]

After Michael Ylvisaker was blocked, Philippines IPs 49.148.136.80 and 49.145.225.29 reverted many times to his preferred version.[5][6]

Joaquinn02 shares the unusual combination of Philippines location, interest in the group Michael Learns to Rock and the group Electric Light Orchestra.

~~Could someone close this case as "Stale," as it is over a month old?~~ The IPs are still active. 2601:647:5800:1A1F:81D5:6D64:11E:646B (talk) 23:02, 31 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments

Clerk declined - One of the named accounts is Stale so CheckUser won't tell us anything useful to link them, and CheckUser evidence cannot be used to link registered accounts to IP addresses. Sir Sputnik (talk) 15:14, 10 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
It's certainly possible, maybe even likely, but I don't see enough here to justify a block. I left uw-login for Joaquinn02 and we'll see how things develop. -- RoySmith (talk) 14:26, 2 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
