All 3 are SPAs, whose only edits have been to The Chauntry Cup page that LichfieldCC created, and arguing at the article's AfD. Dartman and Joanne have used basically the same argument of "It's the oldest cup" (even though no sources definitively say this), see and  Joseph2302 (talk) 18:34, 8 May 2015 (UTC)

 * Can we close this please? Dartman and Joanne have both been indef blocked- Dartman as WP:NOTHERE and for seeking only to promote The Chauntry Cup, and Joanne for being a suspected sockpuppet. Joseph2302 (talk) 10:27, 12 May 2015 (UTC)

 * The block notice on LichfieldCC's usertalk explicitly tells them that they may create a new account with an appropriate name, and they did so with Dartman1001 here, so that account isn't necessarily guilty of sockpuppetry. To justify CheckUser for JoanneB123, please supply additional diffs showing that they could be the same as the others. ​—DoRD (talk)​ 14:37, 10 May 2015 (UTC)
 * The latest edit by JoanneB123 made me decide to take a look, and yes, they are a ✅ match to the others. Since there's little to do now, I'll close this. ​—DoRD (talk)​ 12:39, 12 May 2015 (UTC)

Only edits have been to add content on Lichfield Cricket Club, the same as LichfieldCC. Lots of it has been unsourced or poorly sourced, for instance. Lichfield created the now deleted The Chauntry Cup page. Joseph2302 (talk) 21:38, 30 May 2015 (UTC)

Note that in the diff above, they changed "claim to be the oldest" to "is the oldest", although the sources don't say that- this was exactly what Lichfield did at The Chauntry Cup. Joseph2302 (talk) 21:45, 30 May 2015 (UTC)


 * Also, this diff here tells me to "give up, it is the oldest", which is similar to what Lichfield/Dartman said (Dartman was a legit new account of Lichfield), see all their arguments at Articles for deletion/The Chauntry Cup. Joseph2302 (talk) 21:53, 30 May 2015 (UTC)


 * And now the whole conversation at User talk:Joseph2302 implies that they have an axe to grind with me (which would only be the case if they're a sock), and that they have detailed knowledge of the previous discussion. Getting towards a WP:DUCK situation. Joseph2302 (talk) 23:05, 30 May 2015 (UTC)
