As mentioned earlier here IP 122.166.126.10 belongs to me not the other user. One day I forgot to login before making edits and unintentionally, it got listed over Wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bharat42 (talk • contribs) 17:28, 2 July 2012 (UTC)

The edits themselves aren't too showing, but the timing is. Bharat had not edited since Sept 2011 up until the 28th June 2012, and then only to edit war on that one article. He and the IP are doing all the edit warring, mostly Bharat. Lovemankind didn't touch the article til 20 June 2012, and then went crazy. There's no hard evidence, but if I were a clerk I would endorse due to coincidence and maybe find a few sleepers. Given the single-minded devotion I doubt sleepers but the connection between the two named accounts could be there. Regards, MacMedtalk stalk 03:06, 1 July 2012 (UTC)

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments
These named accounts are from 2007 and 2008, with few edits. I'm more inclined to think they either have a similar interest and had good timing, or maybe know each other, but Bharat42 and 122.166.126.10 are the only ones edit warring. I'm not inclined to endorse, but will leave the request active in case another clerk sees something that I've missed. The IP may very well be one of them, but I'm not completely convinced that all three are the same person. Dennis Brown - 2&cent;    &copy;  11:03, 1 July 2012 (UTC)

 * Per the other two, I'll go ahead and close this. -- DQ  (ʞlɐʇ)  21:40, 2 July 2012 (UTC)
