Both accounts appear to be socpuppets of the same user. They make exactly the same edits: and  ;  and. 190.10.0.20 has been making the same kind of edits as other sockuppets of Copperchair(Casavette or 24bh3s): minor disruption and infobox-tinkering on "War on terrorism"-related articles and templates. Also, his IP is very similar to 190.10.0.36, that was also blocked as a sockpuppet of Copperchair. I don't know much about IP ranges, but it doesn't look like a coincidence.

 * Evidence

Why should I bother to defend myself if you've accused seven other people of being sockpuppets of the same user, and you've blocked them all? 190.10.0.20 (talk) 00:01, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Comments
 * To the IP: Implying that administrators block who they feel like is not going to help your case. Tell us that you're a different person from the others, and give a little background about who you are and what you like to edit, and then we can talk.
 * All right. I'm a different person from the others (wasn't that clear by my previous post?), but I know you won't believe me, because you're on a withchunt. I come from a military familiy (my greatgreatgrandfather, greatgrandfather and my grandfather were in the Armed Forces) and I have recently volunteered as a reservist. Therefore, I like to edit articles about ongoing wars. Movies are my hobby and that's why I collect DVDs (especially boxed sets of movie series). 190.10.0.20 (talk) 23:48, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
 * To reviewers on this case: I think Raoulduke47 makes a strong case. I am not familiar with Copperchair's history, but I looked at his block log, and it's quite long and ugly.  If the allegation here is true, and I think it is, I'll ask to extend Copperchair's block to indefinite.  He's had enough second chances.  IAMTrust meets my arbitrary "three-month" test: he's edited Wikipedia for more than three months, so extra care must be taken in considering a block on him.
 * I'll ask User talk:Thatcher to look at this. He's a checkuser, so he can use the tool if he needs it, and he's also one of the admins in the block log, so he knows the specifics of Copperchair's history. Shalom (Hello • Peace) 01:24, 28 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Conclusions
 * looks conclusive with the IP, not sure about IAMTrust. Please see the results of the UserCompare tool.. βcommand 2 16:50, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I have no choice but to request checkuser. I think these are sockpuppets but I am not able to prove it.  The shared interests showed by Betacommand's usercompare tool are interesting, but maybe random.  So here we go: Requests for checkuser/Case/Copperchair.

 * Blocked indef per CU. Tiptoety  talk 04:09, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
 * If someone could please block the IP and close this case, it would be appreciated. The Evil Spartan (talk) 14:38, 7 June 2008 (UTC)


 * While I was checking my watchlist today, I saw with surprise that Copperchair's acccount has become active again. I find it rather surprising that he is allowed to edit freely, as this case shows that he has been using sockpupets in order to evade his block. --Raoulduke47 (talk) 19:58, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
