 * Evidence
 * The edit history of all three consists entirely of an edit war over the grandchildren of Robert Chandler (network executive).


 * Comments
 * has been blocked for 24 hours for continued edit warring. Tiptoety  talk 23:20, 22 December 2008 (UTC)


 * I think is unrelated to the other two here. Both the IP and Vtmountains are making the same revision, while ZOHCLE is reverting them.  Tiptoety  talk 23:20, 22 December 2008 (UTC)


 * I assume that the editor may have typed the wiki-address into his browser window here; rather than clicking on the link. Lazulilasher (talk) 23:24, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Yep, I have deleted the page. This was what ZOHCLE had written: "I am not using any other usernames. I am simply deleting my father's revisions, as well as his cousin's husband's revisions". Tiptoety  talk 23:26, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

To sum up - ZOHCLE isn't related, the IP and Vtmountains are probably the same user, but the IP is blocked for 24h for edit-warring. However, there was no attempt at block evasion by the IP and Vtmountains anywsy, so a further block seems pointless, especially as all of this is concentrated and one article which can be watched.

 * Strange case. It appears that the IP and Vtmountains were correct, based on the reference given for the statement regarding the grandchildren. He had just one grandchild, although the name is not mentioned. Initially I reverted the IP's change but found it to be sourced correctly and reverted myself.

 * Okay, is now blocked for edit warring as well. In regards to Diliff's comment; it really does not matter who is right and who is wrong here. What matters is that they are edit warring (and I urge you not to join in) and possibly using multiple accounts to do so.  Tiptoety  talk 23:37, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
 * From what I gather from the reversion edit summaries, ZOHCLE claims to be the second grandchild in question, and 71.125.252.52 is Doug Chandler, one of Robert's sons, who denies the grandchild's existence. :-) Is anyone writing this down? Sounds like the premise for an episode of the Bold & the Beautiful or something. As for the edit war itself, I don't think they're using multiple accounts. It seems as though the IP and VTmountains are probably the same user based on their edits, and you're correct that it doesn't matter who is right or wrong, but ultimately we need to keep the article consistent with the source and that is what I've done. What you do with the two users is up to you. I'm not an admin. Diliff  | (Talk)   (Contribs) 23:40, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
