Logged out implied here and here, and apparently a slight misreading of the latter is why I said 'admitted.' It's clear as day that this is an established editor who should be blocked for sockpuppetry--socks are not permitted to engage in internal discussions. Obviously you guys won't publicly link an IP with a named account, but something needs to put a stop to this nonsense of editors doing such things. → ROUX   ₪  07:07, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments

 * Where has he admitted to being a logged-out user? Amalthea  06:54, 26 May 2011 (UTC)
 * OK, his comment "There are some pages that are best edited anonymously" can imply that he is also using a named account. While editing a topic with a different account can be allowed if done with great care, making personal attacks or "problematic edits" does amount to an inappropriate use of multiple accounts. However, result is, I can't make out any related account. With the IP blocked for now, there's nothing left to do. Feel free to reopen if the problem returns. Amalthea  08:29, 26 May 2011 (UTC)
