- Evidence
Very related if not identical edits - compare - [[1]] & [[2]]
Here is an identical edit - [[3]] & [[4]]
Very similar comments about actor and shows the long running habit of both accounts to not sign posts [[5]] [[6]]
Again very similar and unsigned comments[[7]] & [[8]]
similar edits again [[9]] [[10]]
- Comments
Many more similar and identical edits. User contributions from old account are almost all the same on new. [[11]] vs [[12]] circumstantial yet stands out is the habit of not signing as well. The tone, comments, word usage similar if not same in edits. Similar style of picking username - first last name no space, Capital letter at start of last name. Both accounts have been VERY vocal about opinions of subjects to the point of being warned. Also statments made to other users. Those reasons why 1st acct of HarveyCarter was blocked new one on same track.
HarveyCarter username was indef blocked so a few days later they just created new username account of JohnRobertsly and picked up where they left off with previous name.
- Conclusions
The similarities between these users' edits strongly suggest that JohnRobertsly is HarveyCarter, using a new account to evade his block. Therefore, JohnRobertsly is blocked. --Akhilleus (talk) 20:06, 20 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
