This diff confirms it's him. It appears that this diff and the other diffs in the contribution history of this user were done to avoid scrutiny.

I find this a little bit of a problem. Stating they are a new editor yet you said this is TheDoctorIsIn. Just bringing it to attentions here. -- Crohnie Gal Talk  21:39, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

 * The 67.49 IP has a tendency to come back later and re-sign his contributions as TheDoctorIsIn. Looks more like inadvertence than deception . For purposes of counting heads on Talk pages or in 3RR situations, he should just be considered the same as TheDoctorIsIn. To avoid confusion, he should either stop editing with the IP or put a disclaimer on the IP's page to admit his real identity. I left a notice on the IP's Talk page warning him that he should log in, to avoid further problems. EdJohnston (talk) 18:45, 3 January 2009 (UTC)


 * If you look at the history of List of pseudosciences and pseudoscientific concepts you will see that TheDoctorIsIn account reverted once and the 67.49 account reverted three times in 24 hours. That's using your anonymous account to subvert the WP:3RR.

 * OK, has been blocked 48 hours for 3RR and sockpuppetry, and  has been blocked 1 month for abusing multiple accounts. The IP was used coooperatively with TheDoctorIsIn in a 3RR situation, seemingly to avoid scrutiny. (This can't be viewed as an innocent failure to log in). TheDoctorIsIn has received 3RR warnings in the past, so he should be familiar with the rule. EdJohnston (talk) 05:59, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

Closed. Both given blocks, as noted above. Cirt (talk) 08:28, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
