I believe the aforementioned users are sockpuppets/meatpuppets of the blocked user Matthvm. Matthvm was a user originally banned here for persistant legal threats, incivility, and sock/meatpuppetry. Following the investigation, the following sockpuppets of his were blocked indefinitely:

• User:Patylucy (formerly Patycat)
• User:Jwalker2006
• User:compaquser (formerly Vmatthews)
• User:20060706
• User:20060715

Markhamman is the same person as Matthvm because they seem to have the same interests (Nova Scotia towns, transportation), and they've both exhibited a dislike towards treating a regional municipality the same as a city. Both Markhamman and Matthvm2 have accused me of having an "agenda" when I try to argue that a city and an R.M. are essentially equivalents, and Markhamman has been reverting my edits without commenting on my reasoning at all. Also, on Markhamman's user talk page, Matthvm popped by here to tell Markhamman to ignore me; I thought the timing was a little suspicious.

Matthvm has been using these accounts to evade a perma-block, while still retaining that incivility that helped to get him blocked in the first place. ([1] [2] [3] [4])

Both Markhamman and Retsopllib (formerly Bill poster) have been changing hundreds of Halifax-related articles, with an edit summary almost always similar to "Halifax Regional Municipality is regional municipality -not a place as per HRM website". Most of all these users also have a fondness for changing their username - here, Markhamman commented on Retsopllib's denied request.

This might be more appropriate for Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets - let me know if it should be moved.

Declined. For the moment this seems more of a sockpuppet investigation request, especially given the age of the older batch of accounts (last August). Mackensen (talk) 15:03, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
