Unblock has been requested by Astronomyinertia, so a CU is probably in order.&mdash;Kww(talk) 18:48, 17 February 2012 (UTC)
 * My screen doesn't display the username properly. Is that AstronomyInertia, or is this a separate account? TN X Man  19:16, 17 February 2012 (UTC)
 * It's requesting the unblock. ගෝඨාභය රාජපක්ෂ is one hell of a username, isn't it?&mdash;Kww(talk) 19:19, 17 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Hmm. ගෝඨාභය රාජපක්ෂ is editing behind an apparent proxy. They made a logged out to edit to AstronomyInertia's talk page, though, which really makes me think they're the same person. That's an inference, however -the technical data is muddied by the proxy use. TN X Man  19:28, 17 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Proxy abuse combined with behavioural data is all the confirmation I need. I'm the blocking admin, though, so I cannot deny the unblock.&mdash;Kww(talk) 19:30, 17 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Let the other admins handle it; we're done here. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 04:12, 18 February 2012 (UTC)

SriSuren was engaged in an edit war on the Sri lanka article. Shortly after, an Admin left this message on his talk page. Then user Astronomyinertia made same revert within minutes Distributor108 (talk) 17:37, 15 April 2012 (UTC)

 * It doesn't look very likely that this is sock puppetry. Both editors are interested in the same subject area, but their editing patterns and collisions don't make them look like sock puppets. Seems like grasping at straws to win an editing dispute. (My involvement in the dispute is limited to issuing edit warring warnings to two parties) Monty  845  17:50, 15 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Official language is a frequently misunderstood fact in the aforesaid article. It has been discussed a number of times, and whenever I see an editor making the same case, I've reverted without any delay. A STRONOMYINERTI A  ( TALK ) 18:05, 15 April 2012 (UTC)

 * Filer blocked for disruptive editing, of which this case seems to be a representative example. TN X Man  14:16, 18 April 2012 (UTC)
