Evidence

They have very similar editing styles as shown in the contributions. They were each created within weeks of each other after one got a warning message about vandalism.

Comments

I agree totally with milkthecows. I initially discovered the similarities between Zim2007, Thehalo1noob, and 69.178.194.212 and I posted a question on all three talk pages asking about this. Shortly after that, an admin blocked Zim2007 for vandalism. Almost immediately after that, the Angrygamer account was created and started making very similar edits to the earlier accounts. After I again posted a question about similarities between Zim2007/Thehalo1noob/69.178.194.212/Angrygamer, the Flnclan account was created. It seems as though this user doesn't wish to deny or verify the connection between all of these accounts. Instead, the individual is more inclined to ignore any and all questions, put his most recent account into hibernation mode, and create a new account. All of these user accounts have been warned about these suspicions of sockpuppetry, but — again — there has never been really any kind of response. --MatthewUND^(talk) 02:37, 18 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I should also point that Zim2007 seems to actually want people to access his account see here. It seems like he wants people to think that, because it is so easy to access his account, that preemptively explains any wrongdoing by the Zim2007 account. --MatthewUND^(talk) 02:44, 18 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Is that the actual password (did you try it)? I'm just making sure if Zim is being serious.--milk the cows (Talk) 03:28, 18 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

As shown here, Zim2007 blanked its user page and replaced it with THIS ACCOUNT IS NOW CLOSED. Shortly after, Thehalo1noob replaced it with the Sockpuppet tag and a link to the The1halonoob account. I also reverted an edit on this page by 69.178.195.77. The IP also blanked its talk page.--milk the cows (Talk) 22:29, 18 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I believe that 69.178.195.77 is also involved with this too.--milk the cows (Talk) 23:21, 18 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Conclusions

• The contributions of User:69.178.194.212 strongly suggest that all these accounts belong to the same person. The named accounts are indef blocked, the IPs are untouched for now. --Akhilleus (talk) 03:11, 23 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
