- Evidence
User pages, usernames and contribution histories show that all of the above go by the name of Chris, and have a predilection for editing Coronation Street and Horrid Henry related articles. User:Dodgechris initially took umbrage at, and reverted the use of a compacttoc in the article List of recurring and minor Coronation Street characters [1] [2]. User then began editing under User:Chris the master who also continually reverted to User:Dodgechris's preferred version [3] [4] (the latter diff displaying intent to continue reverting after being informed of the 3 revert rule). Latest account is User:Killerboyratz who has avoided directly reverting, but used the article talk page to support the stance of his other accounts under the pretense of being an unrelated user [5].

This came to my attention when a redirect [ Joe McIntyre (Coronation Street) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) ] Coroguy nominated for speedy deletion turned up in Category:Candidates for speedy deletion.
Dodgechris was active from 9 June through 12 July, Chris the master from 28 June through 2 July, Killerboyratz from 2 through 8 July. Coroguy has been active since 11 July. — Athaenara ✉ 23:33, 12 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Dodgechris is again active, and has now taken it upon himself to create the account Frickative2. They do say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but this is becoming a real headache. Frickative 15:52, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
