I suspect User:Cliftongransko is Special:Contributions/98.82.114.66 which was blocked earlier today. Since the IP was blocked, User:Cliftongransko has edited two articles that Special:Contributions/98.82.114.66 edited earlier in the day: Secretary and List of vegans. In addition to that, since registering 24 hours ago he has also edited Nikolai Podvoisky, Talk:Planned economy and Secretary-General in common with the 98.82.XXX.XXX IP range. It is also worth noting that the aforementioned articles with exception of Nikolai Podvoisky have all been edited in conjunction with 74.178.XXX.XXX IP range, often their edits interspersed with each other. I think the IP ranges are being utilised by the same editor, and given the strong overlap with the "new" editor in the last 24 hours they are almost certainly linked.

 * - CU won't connect an account to IPs. Actually, I've added a few accounts that I think are linked (based on behavior), and I'm endorsing for a check on them to confirm, and also to find sleepers/any I missed. CU will not connect accounts to IPs, but I can tell you that the 74.178 IPs geolocate to North Carolina, and the 98.82 IPs to Florida - so they may not be connected. Anyway, I've blocked 74.178.208.0/20 for 2 weeks; the other range, 98.82.0.0/16, would have a lot of collateral damage, so it can't really be blocked. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 04:49, 19 February 2011 (UTC)
 * - There are a lot of results to review. Tiptoety  talk 20:23, 19 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Alright, so the following are ✅. That said, these accounts are on a very large IP range so please review prior to taking administrative action:


 * (note this user is already blocked, possibly making them the sockmaster);
 * (note this user is already blocked, possibly making them the sockmaster);


 * The two groups are related.
 * is ;
 * is, but related to ;
 * No comment with regards to the IPs. Tiptoety  talk 20:42, 19 February 2011 (UTC)
 * I've blocked most of these accounts, though I left Kelseybear alone because I don't really think it matches. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 15:56, 20 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Blocked the two I added on behavioral grounds. I think we're done for now. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 19:58, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

Similar style of article creation and redirects, as well as similar interests (East Asian socialism, etc.) —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 16:45, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

维基帝 is ❌ to Phaseyour2 (completely separate continents), but I see some other related questionable activity, in which I will confer with some other CUs on this. –MuZemike 20:42, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

The following, however, the ✅ as each other:
