They both edit the same articles, but the IP is causing a lot of problems. See here. the IP tried to blank his talk page (for the second time), after the edit was reverted, Charles669 blanks it himself. The IP was also persistently removing the AFD tag from Peter Schonemann. It is very highly suspicous that this is a disruptive IP sock. Let's also note that he's making legal threats.

 * Evidence


 * 70.68.179.142 is definitely Charles669, see the comments made by these two on my talkpage. --Crusio 22:49, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

Almost certainly the same user based on Charles669 continuing a thread started by the IP here. But the IP does something Charles doesn't, which is edit outside the Peter Schonemann article. That gives me pause about any future blocks for either. I'm getting ahead of myself, however, as what's happening so far just seems to be POV editing. Oh, and someone hitting both folks over the head with the 'show preview' button is not a bad idea.--Chaser - T 22:01, 4 September 2007 (UTC) I left them both messages about the show preview button. There's nothing here that constitutes abuse of multiple accounts so no further action is required.--Chaser - T 22:06, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

 * Here's what concerns me though.  Cheers,JetLover (Report a mistake)  22:07, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Kind of old news, no? The IP was blocked when whoever it was didn't stop, and the AFD is over...--Chaser - T 22:21, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
 * But he still did it, isn't that what matters?  Cheers,JetLover (Report a mistake)  23:45, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
 * I don't see anything that constitutes abuse of alternate accounts. It's common that new editors will do things with multiple accounts or with an account or IP because they aren't aware of sockpuppetry concerns. Unless there's a clear violation of the policy, nothing needs to be done.--Chaser - T 00:09, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
 * He just got blocked again for "disruptive editing." He is also making legal threats.  Cheers,JetLover (Report a mistake)  22:24, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Now that's actionable! The account was blocked indef and the IP for a month. I think that resolved everything for the time being. The IP may change in that time period, anyway.--Chaser - T 03:51, 7 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Conclusions
 * No further action seems necessary at this time. --Akhilleus (talk) 04:59, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
