Evidence submitted by Stonemason89
I believe InaMaka may be editing under an IP in an attempt to circumvent 3RR at Mike Pompeo. Specifically, he is attempting to remove sourced content from that article (concerning a national controversy involving Pompeo) by falsely claiming that it violates UNDUE and NPOV; I've refuted his claims at Talk: Mike Pompeo. InaMaka's first three reversions, all of which took place within 24 hours, are, ,. The fourth reversion, performed by 98.196.129.137, and which took place 20 hours after InaMaka's first reversion, is here. This looks like an attempt to circumvent 3RR on InaMaka's part, by making his fourth reversion from an IP account. It should be noted that InaMaka has been blocked before for violating 3RR:. Also, the IP in question geolocates to Texas, which is also where InaMaka seems to be from, judging by the Houston message on his talk page. The edit histories for InaMaka and the IP cover many of the same topics; for example, he posted this: in which he mentions a recent quote Spencer Ackerman allegedly made on JournoList. The IP in question has been re-inserting that very same quote into Ackerman's article:. Other areas in which the user and IP's edit histories overlap include Karen Handel, Kristi Noem, and Susana Martinez. Finally, both the user and the IP have the same snippy, borderline-uncivil communication style:. Thus, I think a checkuser should be performed to determine whether InaMaka is 98.196.129.137; if so, then he should face the consequences for violating 3RR and for socking.

Comments by accused parties
See Defending yourself against claims. This is NOT a sockpuppet case. That edit was mine. I am the anon editor that StoneMason is referring to. I'm not attempting to hide this. That is load of crap. He points to one edit that I did last night when I forgot to login in my name of InaMaka. He is attempting to place info in the Mike Pompeo article. I am having been attempting to explain how the information that he is placing in the article violates NPOV and undue weight. He has gone ballastic and he thinks that he is going to restrain me by coming up with this trumped up charge of sockpuppetry. His actions violate good faith and this sockpuppet claim by him is sham.--InaMaka (talk) 15:52, 16 August 2010 (UTC)

Clerk, patrolling admin and checkuser comments
per CheckUser checkuser should not be used (in this specific case) to link the user account to the IP, particularly in light of the fact that the user has said that they were the IP (accidentally logged out) and there is little doubt that the user and the IP are connected. I'll leave it up to the patrolling admin to decide what to do with the 3rr issue from here (maybe that they want to deal with it now, or forward it to WP:AN/3RR).

 * What Spitfire said. While there may be an issue for WP:AN3, there is no reason to suspect alternate account abuse. TN X Man  16:42, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
 * for interest's sake, has now been blocked for 72 hours by  for the 3rr violation. SpitfireTally-ho! 20:25, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
