Evidence submitted by TenOfAllTrades
All three listed accounts (plus the IP) are being used to engage in an edit war at. They insist on changing 'calculate' to 'estimate' in the lede paragraph.


 * 1) 71.210.219.238
 * 2) Stevehhll
 * 3) Marvin1292
 * 4) Alan8746

Alan and Marvin appear to be single-use throwaway accounts, while Stevehhll was created two years ago but left largely unused since &mdash; I am concerned that this individual may have other socks or a long-term 'good hand' account that we don't know about.

From my initial report Sockpuppet investigations/The great sluggo:
 * This chap is trying to make modifications to the article global climate model despite a lack of acceptance and no attempt to discuss. It's a pretty blatant attempt to sock puppet. I'm asking for checkuser because it could be an example of new tactics by Scibaby or perhaps one of the topic-banned editors. Sleepers should be considered

All three accounts were created on October 22 and used to edit Climate change model in similar ways. This is basically a duck; the reason for requesting CU is to check for additional socks. Also, the older account has made a similar edit and could be examined for a relationship. Note that this article falls under ArbCom's Climate Change sanctions.

 * (Merged comment from Sockpuppet investigations/The great sluggo) Actually, this needs to be merged to Sockpuppet investigations/Stevehhll. The new account was editing behind Tor as well. TN X Man  21:52, 22 October 2010 (UTC)
 * I've merged the cases. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 22:00, 22 October 2010 (UTC)
 * I also just merged Sockpuppet investigations/Marvin1292 into this. What's going on here...? —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 22:21, 22 October 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm going to reword my statement (above) - I probably wasn't as clear as I should have been.


 * and
 * were editing behind Tor nodes - unless they come out from there, I can't make any connections.
 * and
 * are unrelated to each other - any relation to the two above accounts can't be determined at the moment. I would certainly welcome further CU review as this is a)related to climate change, a heavily patrolled area and has been known to attract high levels of socking and b) related to Tor, which I understand, but not thoroughly.

 * I've blocked The great sluggo and Marvin1292 as ducks. Leaving Alan8746 unblocked for the moment because there is no other master account known. Looie496 (talk) 22:38, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

Evidence submitted by LessHeard vanU
All three listed accounts were reported to AIV as being engaged in an edit war at, and its talkpage. My review indicated sock or meatpuppetry, so I blocked all 3 indefinitely for tag teaming. Part of my reasoning was that all accounts were aged but two largely inactive, but had "reactivated" to tag team on those pages. I was later made aware of this page, so have included these new accounts, and noting I have blocked the Stevehhl account.

 * I've changed the first username listed to Stevehhll, as Stevehhl isn't an account. And I'm marking this for close, as I'm not sure what else we can do here. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 21:58, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Checkuser showed no connection between the three accounts nor between any of them and other editors of climate change articles. Fred Talk 11:26, 1 November 2010 (UTC)
