Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments

•  Clerk declined - All previous socks (Amend, except the master 11:28, 30 March 2011 (UTC)) are stale and unlikely that a CU will connect the IP to the account in this case. -- DQ (t) (e) 11:41, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
  • Not sure what you're saying - what about the main Racepacket account? --Rschen7754 17:19, 29 March 2011 (UTC)

Per a my talkpage request to cross post Well Racepacket has been confirmed by a checkuser to live in the same approximate location. And from the amount of evidence LauraHale has presented (I haven't read all of it), it looks like a WP:DUCK case, which means block. My third reason is User:DeltaQuad/Templates/nocu There are exceptions, but this looks like enough of a duck case not to connect. -- DQ (t) (e) 02:48, 30 March 2011 (UTC)-- DQ (t) (e) 11:28, 30 March 2011 (UTC)
