Evidence submitted by Pinkadelica
I believe Anesleyp is using the IP 74.236.83.78 to revert any changes to articles (s)he appears to have a vested interest in. Most of this activity has occurred on the Chelsea Lately article. For some time now if the article is changed by anyone, the IP reverts back to Anesleyp's preferred version (diff 1, diff 2, diff 3, diff 4, diff 5). Any attempts to clean up or change any content is futile as either the IP or Anesleyp revert for no valid reason.

I also believe Anesleyp created the Racer124 account to create the illusion of support regarding the Chelsea Lately article. I opened an RfC on Talk:Chelsea Lately on January 20 in an effort to reach a consensus because of Anesleyp and the IPs repeated and unexplained reverts. Shortly after I opened the RfC, Racer124's very first edit was to leave a comment of support for Anesleyp on my talk page (not the talk page of the article where the RfC is actually located). Since Anesleyp left a message directly above the "new" user's, I saw that that the writing styles (no spaces between the end of sentences, similar usage of phrases, and two dashes preceding the signature) were strikingly similar. I also noted that both Racer124 and Anesleyp misspelled the word apology as "apoligy". Anesleyp did so here back in October 2009 and Racer124 misspelled the word the same way in their message to me yesterday. Racer124 denied any connection to Anesleyp and claims the dashes after the sig are put there automatically (that could be true though I don't see it on other sigs).

In what I can only assume was an effort to close the RfC, Anesleyp removed the tag today citing the comment by "someone" as the reason why. Since no one has commented on the RfC yet, I assume that someone is suppose to be Racer124.  Pinkadelica ♣  06:38, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

I find the fact that the exact same spelling/grammatical mistakes by both accounts not to be coincidental. Racer124 indefinitely blocked and tagged, and Anesleyp and the IP blocked 1 week. –MuZemike 20:34, 24 January 2010 (UTC)
