This user appears to be the owner of St. Martinus University Faculty of Medicine and has made several edits to scrub the article, writing about a "rival school" in the edit summary. Roughly 30 minutes later, after nearly two months with no edits, Caribbean Medical University was edited by User:Cmutosteustatius. Aqwfyj ^Talk/_Contribs 17:48, 23 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I think User:Xtc4jr may be an alternative account of this user as well. The account was created last night and has only made edits to an RfC on Talk:St. Martinus University Faculty of Medicine. Seems to be a WP:CAST issue. Aqwfyj ^Talk/_Contribs 13:24, 25 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Accused parties may also comment/discuss in this section below. See Defending yourself against claims.

My edits on the St Martinus Page started when I received the information via email. The IP listed here is the external IP of the university. There are 70/80 users active at university campus all the time.

Some users( managing servers) login to machines using logmein. Also, I disagree of a threat.

I see the edits gets reverted in 2 seconds but correction takes 48 hours. Have someone review the information independently as I had supplied. 48 hours time is suggested by our IT administrator. According to him it should not take that long.

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments

CheckUser requested - Self-endorsed by clerk for checkuser attention - The following two edits would make it seem these are the same person: [1][2]. Requesting checkuser for confirmation. I think this might just be someone who's clueless about our rules rather than a malicious sockmaster, but I'd like confirmation anyway. Someguy1221 (talk) 09:42, 24 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
On hold - Actually, I'm going to try just asking them first, and see if I get a satisfactory answer. Someguy1221 (talk) 09:44, 24 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Clerk note: - Taking off hold. Sharmauiuc denies socking, which I disbelieve, and has no devolved to legal threats [3]. So re-endorsing per the evidence I originally gave. Someguy1221 (talk) 18:52, 24 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Since I found Martinusmed (talk · contribs) in the check also, i'm going to say all three are Likely. No comment with respect to IP address(es). -- DQ (ʞlɐʇ) 05:20, 25 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Taking the contributions into account, I'm blocking Sharmauiuc, Cmutosteustatius, and Martinusmed, along with the IP. Closing. (X! · talk) · @125 · 02:00, 4 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
