This user's first edits were to do a checkuser on me. . He has been identified as single purpose attack account. His edits include    He claims the IP addresses in question are independent editors. However some have discovered to be via open proxies. These IP addresses have disappeared from the articles in concern. However Youonlylivetwice reverts the articles to the versions of the IP addresses. He is also making minor changes to many articles

A CheckUser was performed on User:Mudaliar by User:MarkPC here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_checkuser/Case/Mudaliar. I am using most of the evidence he collected. I am filing this on the advice of User:Thatcher an admin. My beliefs are that Mudaliar and Youonlylivetwice are the same person.

 * Conclusions

I am blocking and tagging accordingly. I believe that checkuser is not necessary because the similarities are very obvious, and because checkuser cannot help with open proxies, nor when the puppetmaster has been blocked for a long time. Jehochman Talk 03:35, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
 * 1) I checked the list of IPs first.  Many were already blocked as open proxies, but I found about five that needed to be blocked, which I've now done.  A few were not proxies, but I believe they could have been at the time, given how these proxies come and go very quickly.  This gives me the impression that the person filing the report is credible.
 * 2) By the behavior, Maruthavel is clearly a sock puppet of Mudaliar.  Compare  with.
 * 3) The evidence against Youonlylivetwice also checks out.  Youonlylivetwice made their first edit by filing a request for checkuser.  By editing style and by supporting the other sock puppets (open proxies) used by Mudaliar (an ArbCom banned user), Youonlylivetwice appears to be identical to Mudaliar. Compare  to.
