 * Suspected sockpuppets

Mattini was the first account, blocked for tossing in cruft and failing to engage in honest talk-page discussion. Matt72in was the next account (although created after first account's block lapsed), which Mattini first claimed was for his dad, but more recently said is his brother's. Both Matt* accounts are indefinitely blocked, with unblock requests denied by multiple administrators. Editor then created AK193 and returned to type -- this account also has been blocked. Editor is likely to attempt creation of multiple other accounts, and has demonstrated tendentious editing practices in restoring material that fails WP:NOT, WP:GNG, WP:V. --EEMIV (talk) 16:28, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

Requested by --EEMIV (talk) 16:28, 11 February 2009 (UTC) A CheckUser is not necessary. All three accounts (which are clearly the same person) have been blocked, and the IP was also blocked for 55 hours. Behaviour is quite enough to tie all these together. Any further accounts will also reveal themselves by the way they act. Any use of CU here would amount to fishing, and that isn't going to happen. Mayalld (talk) 13:12, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
