(This is my first time making a CheckUser request. Please forgive if this is too verbose or lacks important information.)

This may be someone's campaign to prohibit anonymous editing taken too far. I request that CheckUser be used to determine whether Hildanknight is violating WP:POINT by vandalising various Microsoft-related articles ([1], [2] and [3] are typical examples) and creating attack usernames (the above list). The vandal states that this is to make anons look bad [4]. Compare the previous diff with what the user says on his own user subpage: allowing anonymous users... to edit is a foundation issue (and a foundation problem) which everyone supports (except me)., Anonymous vandals constantly attack pages I am interested in.... Admins are afraid to semi-protect the article, as they want the anonymous vandals to overrun the article., and I suspect that the Microsoft vandal and this user are the same person.

As well as multiple shared singaporean IPs that vandalize microsoft articles replacing c with the cent symbol and S with the $ symbol. I've suspected this for awhile. A few other bits. He admits to editing from 202.156.6.54, as he says on the /Crisis page that he is frequently autoblocked due to blocks on that IP. He's made numerous personal attacks against 69.145.123.171 (one of only a few major static IP anonymous editors), on the basis of being an anonymous editor. 69.145.123.171 and him had a brief war of vandalism against eachother and 69... left wikipedia for awhile. Try out this contribs link which should have contributions from the 15th through the 19th of august 2006. You'll see the slew of microsoft vandalism that is of the same persona, though I understand that stuff from mid august may be out of the reach of checkuser. His 'crisis' is dated August 13 2006, and the microsoft vandalism started up around the 16th I believe. There's also a special thread in the village pump that I'm not willing to link to here for a bunch of various WP:BEANS reasoning. Please leave me a note on my talk page before you(the checkuser) decide about this and I'll gladly email you a link to the discussion so they can see a wealth of increased depth on this subject. Since they've already admitted to editing from the starhub IPs of singapore, there's nothing to be 'outted' from revealing that they edit from them in general. (see also this which matches this) I also admit that this may be a difficult checkuser to preform, since there's so much shared activity to sift through. Let's also go way back, back to April, with stuff about referring to microsoft with the $ symbol and stuff that becomes apparently in the VP link I'm willing to email:
