  • Supporting evidence: Users Soccer mom 5 and MGM87 appeared the same time Grant23 did and have exclusively edited the same pages and talk pages that Grant23 is currently having disputes on. They have all attempted to add the same content. They all make similar spelling/grammar mistakes. None of them know how to use the signature feature on talk pages.
These users have been generally disruptive. If these users are all the same person they have been used to revert the same edits and used to build consensus in community discussions. Thanks, - Schrandit (talk) 06:17, 14 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Additional information needed can you provide diffs showing the disruption and team tagging? Thanks -- lucasbfr talk 13:25, 14 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • If these users are the same person I believe 1 2 3 4violate the 3RR rule.
  • Here, an entire sourced section was removed without discussion.
  • Grant's opinion on the Talk Page for the article Anchor baby can be seen here and here. Then, within 3 hours MGM87 can be seen here backing him up while writing the same way and also failing to understand the signature feature.
  • Grant's opinion of the Talk Page for the article Illegal immigration to the United States can be seen here. Then, within an hour and a half Soccer mom 5, MGM87 and 64.252.250.169 chime in here, here and here backing up Grant again in the same writing style and again failing to understand the signature feature.
  • Grant again entered a dispute on the Talk Page for the article Illegal immigration to the United States, his opinion can be seen here. Then, within 15 minutes of each other Swim19 and MGM87 come in to back him up here and here still in the same writing style and still signing the same way.

I must again stress, Users Soccer mom 5, MGM87, 64.252.250.169, and Swim19 were all created the same time as Grant23, they have exclusively edited pages Grant23 is having disputes on, they all write the same and they all code the same way. These users have been very disruptive, particularly on the IIUS article and I deeply suspect they are one in the same. - Schrandit (talk) 05:03, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Per technical evidence, all these are  Possible. From the CU evidence, I would say that Grant23, MGM87 and Soccer mom 5 are  Likely.
By all the behavioural evidence that you cite, I would treat all these as one user. Sam Korn (smoddy) 12:58, 16 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Under your denfinition the guy terijen or whatever just found using sockpuppets and you would be considered sock puppets. Check if you have to and you'll see that none of these people are me. Jeez, just because someone disagrees with you doesn't mean you try to soil their reputation. Very disappointed in you scandit. Grant23 (talk) 17:25, 17 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There is absolutely no technical evidence to back this up. You found a biased admin and were able to do this. Sorry guys who were banned I wish there was something I could do.Grant23 (talk) 03:00, 19 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
