 * Primary evidence
 * Both users have exactly the same user profile design (Veldin963, Kevin Irwin)
 * Addendum – after KevinIrwin waited to see what I had to say in a sockpuppet investigation, he is now trying to play off my evidence. Jrcla2 (talk) 01:41, 28 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Veldin963 has repeatedly tried to enlarge a thumbnail image on Haddon Township High School's infobox to 300px or 400px (, completely disregarding an ANI conversation (Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive666) that brought the consensus to be 265px.
 * Veldin963 then made the image only 100px, so that his other account, KevinIrwin, could – minutes later – "correct" Veldin963


 * Both accounts' edit summaries are identical in language used, editing patterns and topics of interest. If KevinIrwin is so "new" at editing (as he claims on my talk page) then how would he have possibly know the standards for an infobox thumbnail size (as he explained here).


 * Other evidence
 * Both accounts leave messages on talk pages that begin with that user's username as the header line, followed by a comma (see here for KevinIrwin and here for Veldin963).
 * Funny how KevinIrwin came into existence during the time period right after the ANI discussion came to a consensus. Seems like he wanted to dodge the system.
 * This laughable attempt at innocence.
