Template:Checkuser requests to be listed

In the prior request, there wasn't really an alleged violation - the user wasn't blocked at the time and the IP edit didn't constitute a fourth revert. The user said it wasn't him and there was no reason to check to see otherwise. But now IPs from this same block seem to be helping UnclePaco once again and some of the prior edits from Special:Contributions/67.87.197.9 look like they are definitely UnclePaco. Please check to confirm whether UnclePaco has violated 3RR. Thank you. --B (talk) 04:33, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The weight of evidence here isn't very strong, however they're Red X Unrelated - Alison 04:54, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]


If you are creating a new request about this user, please add it to the top of the page, above this notice. Don't forget to add
{{Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/UnclePaco}}
to the checkuser page here. Previous requests (shown below), and this box, will be automatically hidden on Requests for checkuser (but will still appear here).
The following discussion is preserved as an archive of a Request for checkuser. Please do not modify it.

UnclePaco was edit warring on the article on Dominican Day Parade and filed a 3RR case. I claimed that his 3RR case was bogus. Shortly thereafter, an anonymous IP made wild and unsubstantiated allegations against me. This anonymous IP continued to make edits to Dominican Day Parade. UnclePaco was later banned for edit-warring. The administrator, User:B, claimed that the anonymous IP contacted him and said that he was not UnclePaco. I do not know how User:B received this information (perhaps e-mail?) because it's not in the IP's contrib list. In any case, his suspicious edits suggest they're the same person, so I thought an RFCU would be a good idea in case it hasn't already been done behind the scenes.

No, I said that UnclePaco said that he was not the IP. Nobody contacted me - I saw the comment on UnclePaco's talk page when I was updating my statement for the arbcom case. I hadn't intended to accuse him of anything - I had just assumed since the IP used the same edit summary on the same article that it was him editing logged out. Editing logged out is not prohibited and plenty of people occasionally do it accidentally. I didn't mean anything whatsoever by it and removed the comment as soon as UnclePaco said it wasn't him. --B (talk) 02:20, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, I see how it could be misunderstood and I have clarified on the arbcom page. --B (talk) 02:22, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Disregard my comments above. This request is withdrawn. See this diff. [3] Also, UnclePaco's writing style appears to be quite different from the anonymous IP. Zenwhat (talk) 03:49, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

 Clerk note: Listing as declined, in that case. – Luna Santin (talk) 12:11, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
