User:RichLindvall has added an inappropriate external link to Faith healing ten times or so over the past week, and been reverted by various people, per article history. When I warned him about edit warring, he stopped, and IP 140.211.8.7 added the very same link instead. Same person? Bishonen | talk 13:35, 4 May 2011 (UTC). Bishonen | talk 13:35, 4 May 2011 (UTC)

Unfortunately, checkuser cannot publicly disclose connections between IPs and accounts. This does quack pretty loudly, though. TN X Man 13:52, 4 May 2011 (UTC)

 * -, and we generally try to avoid connecting IP's to accounts unless it's necessary. Behaviour in this situation is, well, quacky. I also note that this isn't the first time they've been blocked for abusing multiple accounts see link. The IP address also appears to be static. I'll let an admin clerk decide what to do here.

RichLindvall blocked 2 weeks. Unsurprisingly, the IP was autoblocked. However, I've extended the block on the IP. Elockid  ( Talk ) 04:10, 16 September 2011 (UTC)
