The whole sorry story is summarized here. New IP editor 76.116.144.137's many edits in the last few days bear a striking similarity to the edits by the banned editor identified as Ari Publican, Lemonsquares, William Tennent, RWReagan, The Mystery Man, Dakota Byrd, etc. David in DC (talk) 21:11, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

 * To David in DC, you have requested a checkuser, please provide some examples of what specific behaviors suggest a relationship; could behavioral evidence alone not meet the duck clause? Anything other reasons that this situation would warrant a checkuser? Before we can approve a checkuser, a valid reason is most likely required. Foxy Loxy  Pounce! 23:29, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
 * This IP editor is systematically revisiting pages the Mystery Man or his puppets edited. He's especially busy visting pages where William Tennant's edits were rolled back by Wknight94 after Tennent was banned as a sock of the Mystery Man:, ,  (here the ban was of RWReagan), ,  (Here the ban was on both Tennent and Ari Publican,  (here most of the socks are within the last 50 edits: Ari Publican, EmmaRoad, Lemonsgares, William Tennent],  (Tennent and the Special Education Squad),  (Tennent and the Special Education Squad.  This one is especially egregious.  He labeled as an American Criminal someone who won a presidential pardon).  This one doesn't just waddle like a duck.  It waddles to all of the same ponds.

 * For reasons stated by David in DC, a checkuser appears unnecessary. Foxy Loxy  Pounce!
