Checkuser will not publicly link an IP to a named account. However, the IP does appear to quack, so a CU isn't even necessary. TN X Man 12:10, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

IP blocked; note this is not a CU block. –MuZemike 18:57, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

Evidence submitted by O Fenian
Pesf was indefinitely blocked for disruptive editing including gross violations of Biographies of living persons, in addition to disruption on Boyzone related articles. Portugal1234 was created the day after, and is editing primarily Boyzone related articles, as well as My Family related articles which were previously edited by Pesf and an IP almost certainly used by Pesf to evade a two week-block. Similarly Daybreak (ITV) has been edited by both Pesf and Portugal123. O Fenian (talk) 15:01, 20 September 2010 (UTC)

Virtual admission of sockpuppetry, plus the same almost exclusively Boyzone focused editing. O Fenian (talk) 21:01, 25 September 2010 (UTC)
 * "These figures are there because it was an estimation that i done" refers to a previous post, from an IP in Pesf's usual range, making the same points as Pesf about the certification of the Brother album O Fenian (talk) 21:17, 25 September 2010 (UTC)
