 * Evidence submitted by Tedder

IP 95.56.2.184 and users "New seeker", "StJohnTheBaptist" are posting information violating BLP on Mikheil Saakashvili and engaging in an edit war. The first edit of the IP was to revert the good-faith removal of information by User:Kober. The two user accounts were created only four hours apart (1, 2) and have been used primarily to add an image of questionable importance to the

StJohnTheBaptist has asked to be unblocked], claiming to know User:New seeker. StJohnTheBaptist's third edit (part of the 3RR) shows usage of the undo function and edit summary, similar to how User:New seeker used undo and the edit summary for their second edit.

 * Same city, but one from a school and the other from a home computer. The IP is ❌ as far as I can see. This could be an open proxy but I can't check that at the moment. -- Luk  talk 10:20, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
