Evidence submitted by Racepacket
User:John E. Rhea first appeared on November 27, 2009 and virtually all of his edits have been to added names to the List of Morehouse College alumni or to take the Black Ivy League article down a different path. Yesterday, I reverted the current status section of Black Ivy League to closer to its December 4, 2009 state before these edits started. John E. Rhea then deleted the section and filed an ANI. There has been some back and forth on Talk:Black Ivy League between John E. Rhea (who does not sign his comments) and myself, and suddenly a new user User:MuJami appears leaves a few comments on the talk page and files Editor Assistance Request. Although MuJami has not edited anything other than the Black Ivy League talk page, his Editor Assistance request specifically mentions the one edit that I made to Morehouse College and the edits that I made to List of Morehouse College alumni. The IP 76.170.193.16 has also made very similar edits to John E. Rhea. This parallel action is very suspicious. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Racepacket (talk • contribs)

Having received no comfort at ANI, he is forum shopping to Editor Assistance and may try to evade 3RR. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Racepacket (talk • contribs) moved from Clerk, patrolling admin and checkuser comments section by Spitfire

Not to complicate things, but you should know that User:John E. Rhea posted this question immediately under the SPI notice on his talk page: "How do I remove my profile / user name or erase user ID?" Thanks. Racepacket (talk) 02:52, 19 January 2010 (UTC)

 * This is an interesting allegation (sockpuppetry). Is there a way one can change or delete an existing user name?  For identification purposes, I would rather use a different user name (MuJami). As Racepacket pointed out, I made this request previously.


 * As there does not appear to be a method to edit one's user name I thought it best to create a "new" profile. Unfortunately (yet understandably)someone misconstrued this act as sockpuppetry.

Please advise.

MuJami indefinitely blocked and tagged. John E. Rhea blocked 1 week. The IP will be left alone as I'm sure the autoblock will pick up that IP. –MuZemike 02:32, 22 January 2010 (UTC)
