 Clerk note: Article interests seem similar to me and see prior RFCU about locations of user, esp "I'd say Komodo lover moved from Malaysia to the UK around that date". RlevseTalk 20:41, 30 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Great job Alison! However, I still believe User:AAP52 and User:Tyrannosaurus X are related, since Komodo lover's IP changes, it's possible he never edited pages without logging in when using those two accounts while having that IP. The edits by those accounts and his other sockpuppets seem too similar to me. Keep up the good work! DietLimeCola 18:18, 4 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you! I'm only a n00b checkuser here, though :) Re. the two accounts, I doubt they're related based on what I know about their IP addresses and Komodo's IP ranges - Alison 18:21, 4 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I blocked Tyrannosaurus X because he has the exact same M.O. as Komodo lover. He created an account and immediately jumped into the Zoo Tycoon articles. Either a sock or a meatpuppet. --Spike Wilbury talk 01:12, 5 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
 Unlikely - Godzillastar‎ (talk · contribs) - Alison 21:09, 4 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

 Clerk note: per tracert and WHOIS--both publicly available info, the "Australia" IPs are in Malaysia and the "Netherlands" IPs are in the United Kingdom. Also if you look at the contribs of the two groups (Malaysia and UK), the Malaysia ones all cease editing prior to about 01 Aug 2007, and the UK ones start a few days thereafter. I'd say Komodo lover moved from Malaysia to the UK around that date.RlevseTalk 02:54, 5 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Great find! However, I'm still wondering about the Canadian one. Perhaps he was on vacation? DietLimeCola (talk) 03:08, 5 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
It was probably a bad call, to ID as KL, I think it's a fluke. Or if the edits match real well, he may have been traveling, or it may be a meat puppet.RlevseTalk 03:19, 5 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I've grown interested in stopping this guy too. Check out this information I compiled of him, if you have any other information feel free to add to it. [2] I dealt with this guy about a half a year ago, where he attempted to protect a non notable character's article (I had to redirect over 10 times after the decision was made, resulting in the redirected page to being locked, see [3] and look at the history. It was quite a hassle for me and a hand-full of editors. I thought they were separate people back then, but now that I know it's all one person, I'm glad we're talking care of the problem.
