 * The behavior is very similar. I've notified both accounts to give them a chance to defend themselves. King of &hearts;   &diams;   &clubs;  &spades; 22:43, 11 May 2013 (UTC)

 * I also find it remarkable that all 4 accounts still in use have chosen not to comment here, despite returning to editing. Such similar, and unusual, behavior further implies that the accounts are operated by the same person. DrKiernan (talk) 18:01, 13 December 2013 (UTC)

 * Endorsing checkuser for named accounts per behavioral evidence. Mark Arsten (talk) 17:28, 2 December 2013 (UTC)
 * - I tried to check it but quite honestly I found it to be . Would another CU take a look and see if I am missing anything? NativeForeigner Talk 23:00, 3 December 2013 (UTC)

 * I do not see a prima facie case here. Because is not blocked or banned, just having/using a second account is not a violation of policy per se.  Do you believe the second account is being used to influence consensus or otherwise disrupt the project? &mdash;Darkwind (talk) 15:09, 14 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Only in that the edits by Miss.Indecisive above were reverted and then repeated by Monkelese soon after. DrKiernan (talk) 16:00, 14 May 2014 (UTC)
 * In the diffs you provided, "soon" after is 4 months. That's not strong enough behavioral evidence to block.  I also doubt it's enough to justify a CU, but since I'm not a clerk, I'll tag it for CUrequest and see what a clerk or CU thinks.


 * - Regardless of time separation, editing using multiple accounts on the same page can produce a false sense of support for a particular view. King of &hearts;   &diams;   &clubs;  &spades; 09:39, 20 May 2014 (UTC)
 * as per Darkwind. Looking at the archive and the diffs, I would prefer evidence with more solid diffs that would establish that there is or strong possibility of a violation of policy. - Mailer Diablo 20:20, 20 May 2014 (UTC)
 * - Insufficient evidence. AGK  [•] 13:14, 22 May 2014 (UTC)
