Sorry, but Dustwinder is stale and checkuser cannot disclose connections between named accounts and IPs. TN X Man 19:58, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Alright, then respectfully request evaluation based on above evidence and other historical behavioral evidence, as well as history at page of User:Dustwinder. Thank you, -- Cirt (talk) 20:01, 18 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Neither Dustwinder nor the IP have edited in nearly a month. I'm inclined to leave this alone until either of them becomes active, or if there's new evidence. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 20:08, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Do you not think that this diff behavior of the sock, reverting against edits by both and, is concerning? -- Cirt (talk) 20:12, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
 * I do, and if it had been reported sooner I would have no problem acting on it. Blocking an IP that hasn't been used in a month doesn't really seem to have any purpose, as it's quite stale. As an alternative, I would support protecting that user page, as there's no reason whatsoever that it should be changed. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 20:20, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Agreed. -- Cirt (talk) 20:33, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
 * So protected. I'm going to close this case now, but if anything else comes up, please report it. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 20:35, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
