CheckUser problem

Hello Darkspots; I just wanted to say I am a checkUser too, I am just not a bureaucrat. Benniguy is a known (repeat) vandal here. Unfortunately, he operates form many ranges (which are usually blocked, as he normally is the only user from there). I therefore invite you to contact me in case there are any problem. As for times: I am in Central Europe (currently UTC+2)--Eptalon (talk) 18:55, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads up. I'd like to help this guy out but it's a little odd. Check out en:Wikipedia:Village pump (assistance)#Blocked on Simple English Wikipedia and compare it to en:Wikipedia:Village pump (assistance)/Archive 10#IP blocked on Simple English Wikipedia. I guess I'll contact the user directly, he was active a little while ago on English WP. Thanks, Darkspots (talk) 19:57, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

Let me update you on the situation; there are currently two users, one commonly called IamAndrewRice (later renamed to Benniguy), the other IuseRosary. We currently do not know their exact relationship. Worst case, they are good friends; CheckUsers have confirmed that they edit from different IP ranges (ie. they are probably not the same user).

Here is my reading list:

• IamandrewRice ban (Jan 08)
• IamAR block evasion (Jan 08)
• IUseRosary block (Jan 08) (also read User:Gwib directly below)
• School IP (and Iamandrewrice's new restrictions two posts below)
• Iamandrewrice blocked (due to incivility) (also Unblock request, directly below)

(Second part of January)

• IamAR renamed to benniguy (new start)
• Benniguy and IUseRosary (ban expired...)

(Second part February/First part march)

• Inkpen2/Benniguy (March O8)

(Second part March)

• Another chance for benniguy?

(Second part April)

• IUseRosary (indef blocked)
• Gwib getting attacked on commons by Benniguy?

(all of the abouve are just the admin noticeboard, there is more of it on simple talk, varius requests for checkUsers, and user talk pages) --Eptalon (talk) 21:54, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for all this. The problem seems to be resolved. Darkspots (talk) 19:25, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
