 * Evidence
 * A very similar edit pattern with many edits involving Muhammad Ali and Led Zeppelin. These users have been warned over Led Zeppelin edits.
 * Both users blank their user pages and user talk pages.


 * Update: These diffs as well |diff 1 and |diff 2.


 * Comments
 * High correlation of edits at Muhammad Ali and Led Zeppelin, as mentioned. Both editors have also been engaged at Generation X, Generation Y, List of generations, Joe Frazier, Hippie, Leon Spinks and The Rumble in the Jungle.

 * You left out these accounts which have similar edits to the other accounts already mentioned. This needs to be looked at:

N.B. WikiAlf's comments here:

Addendum. Another check in the article history of Muhammad Ali reveals these accounts with a similar edit history comparable with Rumble74:


 * User:68.38.103.89
 * User:69.142.242.165


 * I'm convinced based on similar patterns between the two listed at the top. I also will note that this particular user (in both forms) seems to be engaging in too much radical back-and-forth changes in Muhammad Ali, when the material should have been stabilizing somewhat by now.  A big reason we cannot even consider submitting this article for GA is because of this user, in my humble opinion.  Stevie is the man!  Talk &bull; Work 23:56, 5 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Conclusions
 * If not obvious, then probable. Wikix blocked indef and Rumble blocked for 24 hours. The IPs will be taken out by the autoblock if they're related. Scarian  Call me Pat!  05:04, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
