Evidence submitted by Dougweller
IP started editing after Marburg72 'retired' and was given the RTV. This was after Requests for comment/Marburg72 and an outburst against other editors on his talk page, which led to a short block. The commonality of articles edited and the outburst against myself and other editors on the IP's talk page are also clear evidence that this is a sock. He is now adding pointy cite tags, eg in the lead where the references are clearly in the article, which is the reason I am bringing this case. A 'vanished' editor should not be editing using a sock.

Contribution history to Walam Olum article and talk page make it clear that 71.81.36.249 is Marburg72 (this includes links added to Talk:Mount Pisgah (North Carolina) by 71.81.36.249, a link to a page by someone whose other pages were frequently added by Marburg72. also seems to be an old IP used by Marburg72. Note that Marburg72 has not edited since exercising the right to vanish during Requests for comment/Marburg72 but he clearly has continued editing. The rtv template was at one time removed from his talk page but restored by . Dougweller (talk) 06:44, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

A user cannot "vanish" and then "unvanish", "un-unvanish", etc.; one you "vanish", you don't come back. Consequently, Marburg72 has been indefinitely blocked, and both 71.81.32.0/20 and 166.137.8.0/21 have been blocked 1 month apiece. Moreover, User talk:Marburg72 has been indefinitely semi-protected. –MuZemike 22:20, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
