Please see Requests_for_checkuser/Case/Foxhunt99 for the preliminary evidence. Foxhunt99 and Xbox999 are both on the same network and are listed as likely. Guox0032 is listed as possible since the IP is from the same city. However, because of the timing of Foxhunt99's ban and Guox0032's subsequent registration and identical edit pattern, these are certainly the same user. I suspect one is a school or work account and the other is used only from home or vice versa. The edit histories reveal that all three accounts are pursuing the exact same position on a very closely related set of pages. These include both Joseph Smith, Jr. & Mormonism and Tibet and Slavery in Tibet. Again, because of how unique the POV is in both these cases it makes it very unlikely that they are unrelated.

 * Evidence

I've readded Easymem who, although the checkuser came back as unrelated, is engaging in exactly the same edits as Xbox999 and holds the exact same views (with same edit summary and registration dates) as Foxhunt99 and Guox0032. Here Xbox999 is complaining at ANI about the unfair treatment he's recieving, but quotes three diffs, two from himself and one for Easymem. The edits here are especially troublesome, since the both respond as though they are the same person. Again, their POVs are identical and the pattern of editing American TV shows to hide diversify their edits is identical. This user is the same person as all the other three.

Xbox999 posted this notice at ANI about the edits he had been making to the talk pages of American television shows. Easymem joined the conversation less than 40 minutes later claiming that he found it (in that short span of time) by searching my user history. All four accounts have been busy responding to and reverting the edits I had made to articles they had been active on. At Xbox 360 (note the irony here), Foxhunt99 inserted random information about special events, which I undid since it wasn't sourced and he immediately replaced it. At 30 Rock, Xbox999 had inserted the phrase (without laugh track) to the top of the article without explaining why. As a matter of editorial discretion (that isn't the place for that comment), I removed it. That edit was later reverted by Xbox999 as vandalism and when that was reverted, it was changed again by Easymem with the same explanation. None of the four accounts have any overlap time and today they have all exhibited the exact same pattern and editing style as each other. Cumulus Clouds (talk) 19:19, 23 May 2008 (UTC)


 * I found it less than 40min because I looked at your history, you have accused me sockpuppet immediately after I saw your discussion under Serfdom in Tibet, and opposed your idea. I found out about the case you opened as earlier as yesterday, however you didn't add me to the case back then, so I didn't bother to comment. However since you have added me, I started to watch all history of yours.  So far none of your evidence can conclude anything.  You have been vandalizing my and other's that you are accusing of sock puppet's edits all over wikipedia. I rv the 30 Rock you made for obvious reason that you are doing this without proper reason, it is an act of revenge that more than 1 people disagreed with you on Tibet article.  I have sent notice to foxhunt99 and guox0032.  You have turned this into an edit war.  Easymem (talk) 19:28, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
 * You have posted those notices because I pointed out how bad it looks that you four seem so coordinated with your on-wiki activities. This makes me deeply suspicious of User:Chenyangw as well, since he shares your POV and had a similar notice posted on his talk page by Foxhunt99 this morning.


 * You will have trouble convincing anybody that you were able to figure out how to track my edit history and to understand the processes at ANI, SPP and RFCU after being registered for just 24 hours. All of the evidence taken together is indicative of a puppetmaster controlling all four accounts. Cumulus Clouds (talk) 19:47, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
 * There is a clickable text called "contribution" by your name. Can wait for the admin to find out about your lies. Easymem (talk) 19:53, 23 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Comments

This looks pretty open-and-shut. The checkuser results and contribs are enough to block the first 3 accounts; Easymem looks like a pretty clear match on contribs. In particular, stalking Cumulus Clouds to 30 Rock to revert to one of these socks' preferred versions is odd for a day-one account. All are indefinitely blocked.
