Quacking is loud enough here for the first account that a checkuser may not be strictly necessary, but I think it may be important to check on the other one as well. Both are single purpose accounts with numbers in their names focusing on the article that seems to obsess User:Zhand38. I'm afraid that this may become an ongoing problem. User:Zhand38 was blocked for disruption and may not currently be able to work within Wikipedia norms. I have not blocked in spite of the strength of quacking. Given his history and my current contract, I should not. I may semiprotect the article, though, if this continues. :/ (Note: I am not informing the user, as I think it probably in our best interests not to do so.)

Seems so. Blocked account is enthusiastic to a fault, and could someday be a valued contributor. For now article ownership and lack of willingness to work toward improving edits to meet encyclopedic guidelines remains problematic, a situation exacerbated by apparent use of multiple accounts. Page protection may well be the way to go. 99.184.129.216 (talk) 16:01, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• The first two are  Confirmed matches, along with the sleeper Natport1 (talk⁺ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · spi block · block log · CA · CheckUser(log) · investigate · cuwiki)., The third is enough to block with the behaviour. I've semi'ed the article. Courcelles 16:24, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
•  Administrator note I'll call Okapi2196. Blocked and tagged. — HelloAnnyong ^{(say whaaat?!)} 18:41, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Was User:Okapi2196 blocked only on behaviour or on a technical match? I ask mostly because Okapi was deleting and otherwise thwarting Zhand's edits. Zhand has also said many times that while he was indeed Hmilz and Natport, he was not Okapi. If there has been no technical checkuser run on Okapi, I ask that it be done now. Thanks.

If I look just at the technical evidence, it is  Possible. Courcelles 22:39, 12 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No meaningful worries here, then. Gwen Gale (talk) 00:38, 13 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I just needed to tell Gwen Gale that I wasn't Okapi, and I wanted to get unblocked and I needed another IP address to do that74.83.218.178 (talk) 01:56, 25 October 2011 (UTC) I also want to know why I was blocked for no reason before my sockpuppets74.83.218.178 (talk) 01:56, 25 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
