Evidence

The user often using cut and paste move, and move the page to unknown name, or very uncommon "real" name.

Kaka12 and Kaka12o have strong link, the page created by 12, is redirected by 12o.

And Gzus209 is the user of the unique template created by 12o, for a youth team in Mexican football.

The other were main contributer of the Mexican team affected. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Matthew hk (talk • contribs) 15:49, 15 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

69.225.253.123 (talk · contribs) is clearly the same person as Gzus209; he edited the same article many times a day later.

All editors share the same interest in Latin American soccer (futbol). I am not yet convinced that they are the same person or even "meat puppets". Certainly the similar usernames of Kaka12 and Kaka12o is strongly suggestive of sock puppetry, but I don't see the connection to the other users. Clarification via diffs and links, which were not provided in the "evidence" section, would be helpful. Shalom (Hello • Peace) 00:15, 16 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Note also: Kaka12 made a few edits in August, then Kaka12o started editing in September, and the first account has not edited since then. It looks like this person simply forgot his password and started a new account with a similar name. This is not a violation. Shalom (Hello • Peace) 00:18, 16 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Conclusions

This is really shaky. WHile the general area of Latin America is of mutual interest, they don't even edit the same articles. The two similar names are interesting, but we'd need more to block. Next time provide diffs that link the accounts together. — Rlevse • Talk • 01:23, 17 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
