Evidence

79.67.147.3:

79.67.241.120 continues Talk thread, then runs up to 3RR on Routemaster, then Oxyman42 takes over, using similar edit summaries and arguments.

Oxyman42:

Oxyman42 specializes in London transport. The IP range 79.64.0.0 - 79.71.255.255 is Tiscali UK Ltd. Oxyman42 was previously questioned about possibly using IP 79.68.135.210, i.e., from the same range, to avoid 3RR violation.

MickMacNee asked Oxyman42 if he was the IP editor who had reverted previously, and Oxyman42 responded only with a question, "Have you done the same thing?" which appears to be an admission that he did, indeed, edit previously. Because of the prior warning above for use of IP to avoid 3RR violation, and because the admission was not clear, I'm filing this report but will also assert a 3RR warning for this user, given that the time-connection is so clear and, as well, Oxyman42 asked for "editor assistance" before he had done any recent editing on the article under that account, but only as the IP. --Abd (talk) 04:20, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

Oxyman42 was previously blocked for 3RR violation on this article, same dispute was involved.--Abd (talk) 04:20, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Conclusions

Oxyman42 was blocked for 48 hours for 3RR violation,[24] apparently based on likelihood of the IP usage described. In his comments on the block, he acknowledged being the IP editor.[25] No further action required, in my opinion. Please close. --Abd (talk) 13:35, 19 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
