Evidence submitted by Doncram
Editing pattern of new user Rigel0 highly consistent with currently blocked editor Polaron. Edits of Rigel0 revert changes in at least two articles to last versions edit by Polaron. Mix of articles edited by both are same, including Connecticut places and Lists of countries by population. Polaron, blocked 72 hrs for edit warring in contention with me at National Register of Historic Places listings in Stamford, Connecticut would likely watch my contributions. This edit by Rigel0 seems to be a direct response to this edit by me. Rigel0 made just one more edit after i called attention to this at still-open wp:3rrnb in this edit. Editor Magog the Ogre asks for SPI request in this diff. doncram (talk) 03:56, 17 September 2010 (UTC)

See Defending yourself against claims. Some explanation is in order here. We just got our son a computer and was showing him how to register and edit Wikipedia articles. Note that I specifically avoided editing articles Doncram has edited when I was showing my son how to go about editing. I would like to have this account reinstated for my son's use. I have no problem putting some kind of clear identifier of the link of this account to me but this was not intended to go around the block. I am hoping this account can be reinstated. --Polaron | Talk 19:47, 17 September 2010 (UTC)

 * Despite the account only being 2 days old, Pietrodn's Intersect Contribs Tool shows that the two accounts have edited 11 articles in common:
 * Branchville_(Ridgefield)
 * Cos_Cob
 * Fairfield_County,_Connecticut
 * Ferroelectricity
 * Glastenbury,_Vermont
 * Lincoln,_Vermont
 * List_of_counties_in_Vermont
 * List_of_countries_by_life_expectancy
 * Strontium_titanate
 * Woodstock_(village),_Vermont
 * Reference_desk/Science
 * I'd be surprised if a random new account just happened to edit 11 articles in common with another account, so there is certainly a quacking noise here --  Phantom Steve / talk &#124; contribs \ 08:29, 17 September 2010 (UTC)

 * Hmmm, I didn't create this account so I'm not sure why this is here. --Polaron | Talk 19:49, 17 September 2010 (UTC)
