RGLE is a small group, all things considered (2 relevant hits on Google, and that's about it), and, therefore, considering the number of editors listed above who are not only editing and reverting, but making the same types of edits and reversions, some of them, if not all, have to be the same individuals.

Regular Grand Lodge of England has had numerous valid requests for citation put on it a number of times, and after this notice was put in at 3RR Noticeboard, other accounts immediately pop up, avoiding 3rr issues. Vidkun 17:29, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

as follows:
 * 217.155.47.48 and Cesaer are the same editor.
 * 217.40.157.122, 86.140.96.89, 81.158.195.212 appear related, but no to 217.155.47.48/Cesaer. This could be Cesear using a library or other computer without ever logging in under his account name.
 * Sneftel is uninvolved; s/he is in an entirely different continent from those above, and on the opposite side of the continent of those below.
 * Artifex99 and Lafayette05 are the same editor, but are unrelated to any of the accounts above.

This is quite a mess; there are at least three different sockpuppeteers working on this one, and then apparently innocent contributors like Sneftel. Essjay (  Talk  •  Connect  )  09:27, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
