I strongly suspect that User:Tabib is a sock-puppet of User:Grandmaster used for vote-stacking, User:Tabib only appearers every now and then, to vote with, and on the same pages as User:Grandmaster. [1] [2] [3] [4] Mardavich 06:02, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Declined --jpgordon^∇∆∇∆ 07:54, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Why declined? I have followed the instructions and provided evidence. Please review again - much appreciated. --Mardavich 08:09, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Since you and the two named editors are all parties in an clearly to-be-accepted arbitration case, this should be treated as a Question about a possible sock puppet related to an open arbitration case, and your request may be handled as part of the arbitration. However, that wasn't the reason for my declining the case; my reason was based on observation of the parties editing patterns, which do not (to me) fit your descriptions. These are both well-established editors, with thousands of edits each. --jpgordon^∇∆∇∆ 17:21, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

If you take another look at the parties' editing patterns, you'll see that User:Tabib's recent edits have all been either double-voting with, or reverting to, User:Grandmaster. [5] I strongly believe that User:Tabib is an old alias of User:Grandmaster, which User:Grandmaster irregularly uses to vote-stack and evade 3RR. --Mardavich 18:33, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

You've provided no evidence of 3RR issues; if you can demonstrate that (providing diffs for sockpuppet-like 3RR violations), there might be cause to run a checkuser. Regardless, the case is going into arbitration; we'll do this, if we do it, in process. --jpgordon^∇∆∇∆ 22:22, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
