Comments by other users
I notified User:Marmoulak - although I don't think its mandatory, how can a user defend himself if he doesn't know he has been reported? thanks - Also, it seems a very weak request for checkuser. These IP addresses appear to be from two different towns with two different service providers. Could Infact please provide the 3RR violating diffs that if either of these IP address is Marmoulak would constitute a 3RR report, thanks Off2riorob (talk) 13:06, 27 September 2011 (UTC)
 * It's not mandatory per WP:SPI. Different ips could be used by proxies and Vpn. As for violating 3RR, please check the article's history page in september 21, 2011.
 * User:Marmoulak has used those two ips to support his revision of the article. and of course he's been edit-warring all the time, though three other users kept asking him to stop it and start to discuss. In fact   ( contact )  13:50, 27 September 2011 (UTC)
 * By the way, the edit summaries made by the ips and the user are pretty much the same. In fact   ( contact )  13:56, 27 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Please present the diffs of the users alleged violations, in regard to use of sockpuppets, I don't really mean that, what I mean is this is clearly more of a content AFD dispute, I suggest a little more discussion and less reporting as a more constructive option, regards.

 * Those IP edits were just a matter of me editing while I was logged out. The IPs belong to my work place where we use load balancing between multiple static IPs, so our external IPs often alternate. According to Wikipedia's guidelines, There has been no inappropriate use of these IPs; I never violated 3RR, or used those IPs to support my positions in a dispute. I find it rather odd that User:In fact would request this investigation, since throughout almost all of my dispute with him over the Mohammad Ala AfD, I participated as Marmoulak (talk) 15:20, 27 September 2011 (UTC)

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments
I'm sorry, but checkuser does not generally disclose connections between IPs and named accounts. The reviewing admin will need to decide this based on behavior. TN X Man 13:43, 27 September 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm going to mark this for close. Marmoulak has claimed the IPs, which really negates any need for an SPI. Any issues with 3RR, etc. need to be addressed at the appropriate noticeboard. TN X Man  15:41, 28 September 2011 (UTC)
