 * Could you perhaps provide us with some diffs to show that things are the same? -- DQ  (ʞlɐʇ)  12:46, 9 October 2012 (UTC)
 * If you click the "contributions" link you see clearly where one (Tremolo Kid) leaves the flag to the other two (IP and Ghuzz) in Cyprus related articles like "Turkish Cypriots". Thanks.


 * Checkuser is very helpful here, and says the connection between the two users is . ( Yes, I just used something called sarcasm ) Behavoiral evidence that I saw before running the check was enough to make me think that I was going to get a positive CU result, I mean with messes of wikitext/wikiformating (which don't turn up that easily) and they exact same signature type leads me to think socking. Add a comparison of similar articles and user talkpage edits and it looks even more suspicious. There was evidence to indicate in CU that they used the same type of comupter, and the same web browser, just a different web browser version, and in a different location. The problem is though, the edits just don't stay in one place, they move around. So it'll have to be on my comments and behavior that determine this. -- DQ  (ʞlɐʇ)  22:37, 16 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Digging around on this one, and I find myself in the same inconclusive state as DeltaQuad. I can't quite decide if we have two editors that take the same side on Cyprus-related issues or one editor pretending to be two. 88.102.213.115 admits to being Ghuzz in this edit, so we don't have to worry as much as usual about IP privacy issues. When you say "they don't stay in the same place", are we talking about bouncing around within the Czech Republic (or bouncing all over the hell geographically, indicating heavy travel or proxies)? If so, I'll treat that as confirmation enough to block. If it's one set of edits within the Czech Republic and another outside, I'll have to say that the behaviour is too ambiguous to act on and close the report without action.&mdash;Kww(talk) 18:06, 17 October 2012 (UTC)
