Code letter: G

Supporting evidence: Per this post to AN/I, User:Osxdude claims someone found out his/her password and vandalized two articles. No edits have been made since the ANI posts, but it might be necessary to perform a checkuser to see where the offending edits came from (IPs) and if the story from the aforementioned user is legit. - NeutralHomer • Talk • November 10, 2008 @ 23:53

Unfortunately Osxdude has almost no recent edits. I can confirm that the 4 edits around 02:00 on 10 Nov were made from a different location than the most recent edits at 03:11 and 03:19, but I have no way to know which (if either) is the correct account owner.

- So there would be no way to tell between the edits which were actually his and which came from the user who stole the password? - NeutralHomer • Talk • November 11, 2008 @ 01:19
  - At this point I have no baseline to compare the recent edits against. All I can say is that they were made from two different places. Thatcher 02:27, 11 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    - OK, thanks for your help :) - NeutralHomer • Talk • November 11, 2008 @ 02:29
