Evidence

• [1] 'nough said? I count 21RR.
• [2] Ditto.
• [3]
• [4].

My main contention is if Mgh is the sockpuppett, along with 208.168.whatever. Please take a look at this page to see the edit warring linking 208 with Mgh: both edit warring in the same war, breaking 3RR so badly it hurts. This was a continuation of an edit war started out by Yankees10 and a user great at IP hopping: I note that Yankees 10 hasn't edited since July 2, so I'm suspicious. I'm also filing a report on the other user, who's a pretty obvious sock. Given that these users managed to reach literally '21RR on Reggie Jackson (see history), I think a hefty block would be in order for all of them. The Evil Spartan 22:53, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Conclusions

Hmm... a complex one. Here's what I came up with:

• Bucs10 == Yankees10 (first edit was to redirect user and user talk pages), but they haven't been used abusively and neither has edited that recently, so I'm not going to block them at this point.
• The IP's belong to User:Mghabmw - he has admitted as much on his talk page.
• User:Get Buck has already been indef-blocked as a likely sock, which I think is appropriate.

Since Mghabmw has already been blocked for his egregious 3RR violation, I'm not going to take further action, other than to note that the IP's are his, and that Yankees10 and Bucs10 should note their connection. Any further edit-warring by Mghabmw should be met with a lengthy block. MastCell ^Talk 21:30, 20 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please note, that the IPs are not solely my own. Other people use this network. Whether they wikipedia or not, that I do not know. Mghabmw 06:06, 21 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
