GeoMgm's account was created the day after Cde000's second unblock request was denied. Both accounts edit List of So You Think You Can Dance finalists and other reality TV show articles such as Kan Du Danse (season 1). They also use the same pattern of using their userpages as a sandbox. VernoWhitney (talk) 21:10, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

Account created August 23, editor has made hundreds of edits without edit summaries to the same articles that prior blocked accounts edited. As Cde000 did before, Ezra 358 has also added unconfirmed information about future cycles to Canada's Next Top Model. Big Bird (talk • contribs) 13:48, 27 August 2010 (UTC)

– CU won't disclose whether or not a registered user is connected to an IP for privacy reasons. –MuZemike 14:08, 20 September 2010 (UTC)
 * The section "IP information disclosure" at WP:CHECKUSER states "a user who is disruptive and needs to be addressed as such may have to accept that the price of disruption is that their IP becomes linked to their account." It explains that further by stating "This can happen in several ways:...A user is disruptive on multiple accounts, and it is reasonably plausible they will create more accounts, requiring the blocking of the underlying IP range that these accounts are using." Would the above not apply in this case? Big Bird (talk • contribs) 14:23, 20 September 2010 (UTC)
 * I probably still wouldn't run one in this specific case, after looking at the IP's contribs, as it looks like WP:DUCK applies quite clearly. So I suppose that is pretty much a moot point. –MuZemike 14:33, 20 September 2010 (UTC)

I went ahead and blocked the IP for 1 year, just from the contribs alone (not a CU block). Marking as closed. –MuZemike 14:37, 20 September 2010 (UTC)
