This is a long standing case where Grant Chuggle has repeatedly asked to be allowed back to editing all the while verifying his intent to use his IP address' constant changing to get back in. On the day that User:MaryPoppins878 was warned about the possibility of their identity being in question, Grant once again asked to be unblock.
 * Evidence

On both my talk page and that of Wikipedia Admin Daniel Case there are extensive discussions about this user. I recently, erroneously, placed this information on the admin notice board. Even after warning MaryPoppins, they continue to edit based on how they "feel" not consensus of the project. Another pattern of Grant's. Investigation was semi-begun by Daniel, he is no longer free to devote time to this. Assistance is appreciated. Irish Lass 17:34, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Another evidence

Grant Chuggle always claimed to just be a loney boy from south Africa, his IP traced to there. Here is another edit by MaryPoppins878 leading to our suspicions. User states they are from Windhoek. Additionally, the edit summary of a verified sockpuppet of Grant's Special:Contributions/Hen55 are nearly identical to the edit summaries MaryPoppins878 uses. Irish Lass 18:29, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Additional evidence

Grant Chuggle was very disruptive. He always insisted on adding ages to fictional characters and changing dates of birth on characters whose births we saw onscreen. He was constantly rewriting the retcon section on Santo DiMera, this was one of MaryPoppin878's first edits of memory, changing the retcon on the same article using virtually the same argument previously used by both Hen55 and Grant Chuggle. The Santo DiMera history page is a good example of Grants actions that are mirrored by MaryPoppins. The IP on the history page has also been verified as Grant's. A cursory look at Grant's page will show his interest in The Bold and the Beautiful, pages MaryPoppins878 also repeatedly edits/vandalizes. I have no doubt MaryPoppins878 is another sockpuppet of Grant. Both actually used the same response when confronted with the word "sockpuppet." MaryPoppins878 has been given a considerably long leash and has abused editing privileges. The pattern of vandalism after being called on their edits fits both editors. To someone who had to deal with Grant and who noticed immediately that when MaryPoppins878 was confronted about being a possible sock, Grant immediately showed up to beg to come back. Too coincidental for a couple of us. Thank you for hearing me out. CelticGreen 01:30, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
