Clerk, patrolling admin and checkuser comments

Clerk declined - There really isn't much that we can do here in terms of checkuser. — HelloAnnyong ^{(say whaaat?!)} 02:06, 11 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Clerk note: If you lookup the IPs, you'll see that the master here is in Germany, and one is apparently Santa Clara, CA. Based on that, I'd say we're looking at meatpuppetry perhaps. — HelloAnnyong ^{(say whaaat?!)} 02:06, 11 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

pardon me if i'm posting this incorrectly, but the user as much as admits to being the same person here while using yet another ip address: 24.118.14.160. --emerson7 18:48, 11 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Clerk note: By googling some of the whois information, I have found that:

85.114.137.152 - Is a German Webhost, most likey not home location
173.203.215.116 - A Texas Webhost called Slicehost
65.209.244.80 - Could be a webhost or a business, it's hard to tell, I am leaning towards business. It does work in the IT industry.
24.118.14.160 - Is a Comcast landline, so this is most likey home in New Jersy.

A Webhost is kind of like a proxy, were you can go on someone else's internet, but if traced to the end, is registered to you. -- DQ (t) (e) 18:21, 12 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Clerk note: Scratch that, they have all been blocked by Zzuuzz (talk · contribs) as proxies. Marking closed. -- DQ (t) (e) 18:24, 12 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
