PWery
I made minor edits to the user page of each of the suspects (like this one) since when there has been no activity from any of them (tending to confirm the suspicions). I think PW was mainly a weekday editor and there has been nothing this week; so he might have stopped, or adopted another identity. I haven't grasped the objections to blocking the specific ips to anyone editing from them - a bona fide user (if any) will protest and can presumably be accommodated. -- roundhouse0 (talk) 16:40, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I was asked by another admin to not use "indefinite" on IPs. I'm not sure, but I think I've been using 3 months since then. - jc37 02:15, 13 December 2007 (UTC)


 * I see you've left several comments and notes ... 3 months is fine as far as I'm concerned. -- roundhouse0 (talk) 11:31, 13 December 2007 (UTC)


 * The last ip belongs to Ashland University. From its page this is an institution affiliated to the church and is in ... Ohio. (The edits pre-12 Sept do not quack. Those of 12 Sept quack deafeningly. I think I know where PW was on 12 Sept.) So indeed that ip shouldn't be blocked but was PW. (PW has had several webpages - Wayne Scott, which has a Dickensian ring to it - mice behind the wainscot - the page was deleted via afd several times but he was in Ohio somewhere.) -- roundhouse0 (talk) 11:53, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
 * The "last IP" being 198.30, presumably (Thought I should clarify, in case the list lengthens : ) - jc37 12:49, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

Page Merge
Is test6 your only page relating to PW? If so, perhaps we should merge this page and that, and make it a Wikipediaspace page? (I have seen this done in other cases.) - jc37 12:49, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Scratch that. I just went through and looked through your sub-pages. Most of them involve tracking edits of individual accounts. This (and part of test6) is more a top-level index of the IPs and accounts.
 * Btw, You've put a lot of work into this. Just thought I'd mention that it's impressive. - jc37 12:56, 13 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Yes, I have put a fair amount into it. Test6 collects together the tracking pages from the other test pages. I haven't yet got a page for the latest fad, namely blundering around within categories of lists [now I have a page for WestfieldIns et al]. It is odd that these various clones don't do what PW said he wished to do - concentrate on UM Bishops. -- roundhouse0 (talk) 14:06, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
