After a topic was opened at BLPN, I did a major rewrite of Brad Birkenfeld. After I was done, I removed a March 2012 neutrality tag. The master then reverted, edit summary "Added back POV check that was removed by Bbb23. The wholesale edits by Bbb23 are not neutral but contain a biased view and omissions of previously referenced material." I again removed the tag, edit summary "please go to the Talk page and explain the need for the POV tag at this point in time". The master then reverted the article to before the rewrite, edit summary "Reverting to version by LindseyW827 because of gross censorship and omissions by Bbb23". I then opened a topic on the article Talk page and posted a comment on the master's Talk page asking him to contribute at the Talk page. I then reverted the article again, edit summary "restored article - see Talk - WP:BRD". The master did not comment on his or the article's Talk pages. Instead, an IP, in his first and only edit, reverted the article, edit summary "Reverting to version by LindseyW827 because of gross censorship and omissions by Bbb23". The edit summaries of the master and the IP are identical. Bbb23 (talk) 01:22, 12 July 2012 (UTC)

I am adding Luca97 as a possible puppet of Robert based on three edits he made to the Birkenfeld article after Robert and the IP. Robert still has yet to be heard from, and my suspicion is he is acting through these other accounts. I don't see a way to change this to request a checkuser, but I would request one based on the addition of a second registered accounts.--Bbb23 (talk) 23:42, 12 July 2012 (UTC)

This could just be a case of the person forgetting to log in for the one edit, and I don't see abuse yet. If they did this back and forth to evade 3RR, that would be different. That said, I will leave a message for edit warring and leave this open for observation. Dennis Brown - 2&cent;    &copy;  01:52, 12 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I don't know about that; the second account doesn't look like "forgetting to log in for one edit." Magog the Ogre (talk) 23:48, 12 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Well, Luca97 wasn't listed when I made that comment, let me take a another look now. Dennis Brown -  2&cent;    &copy;  18:28, 13 July 2012 (UTC)
 * - The pattern of avoiding scrutiny after being warned is too strong to ignore and a CU is clearly warranted for the two named accounts. Dennis Brown - 2&cent;    &copy;  18:40, 13 July 2012 (UTC)
