 * Comments by other users


 * Clerk, patrolling admin and checkuser comments
 * I've blocked all accounts listed here indef. The IP is blocked for 1 week. I won't block it longer as I'm not sure if it is static.
 * A request to NatureBoyMD, in the future, please list diffs so I don't have to dig through the history for the relevant diffs.

All accounts were socks, I don't think Vsa222 is our puppet master, more likely it is User:Don't Feed the Zords based on evidence listed at User talk:Vsa222. Clerks, you may move this case to the proper title if you wish, just keep in mind that it may confuse the bot. If we plan on moving cases like this in the future, we will need to test/debug a method to do so anyway. Bring thoughts on this to WT:SPI. In addition I did not tag User:Vsa222, so please tag accordingly. ——  nix eagle email me 14:41, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Conclusions
 * Nix. I'm not seeing any evidence in the history of that talk page. I'm hesitant to move this case anywhere else for the time being but another clerk may want to review.  Syn  ergy 21:11, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
