 * Suspected sockpuppets


 * Evidence submitted by User:TharsHammar


 * First off we start with the first article that ties Mohummy together with the 173.xxx IPS, Revision history of Scott Thomas Beauchamp controversy. You will notice similar stances taken by both Mohummy and the IPs, for example see IP and Mohummy, there are copious other examples on that page as well.
 * Mohummy and the IP continued on to other articles together. For example, Freedom of speech versus blasphemy with these 2 diffs  and .  Then we see them at Microsoft Customer Care Framework, with these 2 diffs  and .  Then we see The Rea McCoy where again both Mohummy  and IP 173.109.17.149  show up.  These are 4 articles (Beauchamp, Freedom of speech, and Microsoft, and The real McCoy) that are in no way related, except for the edits of Mohummy and IP 173.109.17.149.
 * We can also see the shared interest with user:Canadian, who may not be a sockpuppet of 173.7.176.144 and Mohummy, but does tie Mohummy and 173.xxx together, with their shared interest in this users contributions. For example see again Canadian's talk page history where Mohummy Afd's an article Canadian was working on, then thereafter at Taj Mahal  where 173.7.176.144 shows up to change Canadians edit.  We can also see 173.7.176.144 following Canadian around again  and then  and.

There are also many other 173.xxx IPs which have edited on the Beauchamp article,, and probably more connected to Mohummy, but I think these 2 highlighted examples show the case pretty clearly.


 * Comments by accused parties    See Defending yourself against claims.


 * Comments by other users


 * Clerk, patrolling admin and checkuser comments


 * Conclusions

Pretty obvious given the edits, articles, and the similarity of the summaries. Mohummy has been blocked for 72 hours for tag-team edit warring. Unfortunately the IP range is too large to be blocked in one, but semi-protection may be in order if this continues. Peter Symonds ( talk ) 01:15, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
