I believe that Thunderbolt.wiki and 209.6.166.84 are connected, due to both their editing histories (Thunderbolt.wiki-209.6.166.84). They have violated the following: "Contributing to the same page or discussion with multiple accounts" which states Editors may not use more than one account to contribute to the same page or discussion in a way that suggests they are multiple people. This is what it appears to look like. They have both edited NCIS (TV series) (Warning about an incident involving the page on 209.6.166.84 talk page and and diff 1diff 2diff 3 by Thunderbolt.wiki). They also edited the Requested move for Dell (here by Thunderbolt.wiki and here by the IP. The strongest evidence for the IP and Thunderbolt being connect is that the IP replied to me and signed themselves as Thunderbolt.wiki.  CookieMonster755   𝚨-𝛀    02:12, 14 September 2016 (UTC)

To whom this may concern,

I am truly sorry for my mistake. I am in fact both the account and IP adress. I truthfully was completely unaware of Wikipedia's rule about this. Sometimes I don't log in when making edits so they appear under my IP adress, while other times I do log in when making edits. In no way have I intended on causing any harm and I am sincerely sorry for everything. Going forward, now that I am aware of this rule, I intend to be logged into my account for all edits made. I hope that everyone can understand my mistake and that it will not happen again.

With my sincerest apologies and gratitude, Thunderbolt.wiki — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thunderbolt.wiki (talk • contribs) 03:03, 14 September 2016 (UTC)
 * I am very sorry I opened this SPI, and I take responsibility for not thinking of warning first. I also, was not trying to commit a fraud report. Please forgive me for my stupidity, and administrators. I will be very careful before ever opening another SPI again. If there is anything you need, please let me know.

 * Hi, thanks for your note here. I will likely be closing this without action. I really appreciate the promise to be more careful. Clearly, Thunderbolt.wiki didn't intend to evade scrutiny. I assume there is no objection to this investigation being closed without action? Thanks, Kevin ( aka L235 ·&#32; t ·&#32; c) 03:23, 14 September 2016 (UTC)

Similar style of editing, see contribs lists. See also this section of votes in sequence. Timelines show a lot of overlap. The first and fourth account have both had previous sockpuppet investigations at Sockpuppet investigations/Thunderbolt.wiki/Archive and Sockpuppet investigations/Spshu/Archive, respectively. I'm less sure about User:Spshu than the others. Apologies for not providing more diffs.

(I've set, although I'm unsure of whether Checkuser is needed, as I am unfamiliar with the relevant policies.) Yair rand (talk) 03:52, 7 January 2019 (UTC)
