I am convinced that Jhamilton303 is Cali11298. For starters, Cali11298 was blocked by Bbb23 on April 6, 2015; the block log reads "with an expiry time of 15:24, 12 April 2015 (account creation blocked, cannot edit own talk page) (Revoking talk page access: inappropriate use of user talk page while blocked: polemics." On April 8, 2015, Jhamilton303 shows up to take Cali11298's place. For what I mean, let's look at the following:

Cali11298 wrote on his user page, "My name is Cameron, I live in New Jersey; my interests are politics, I'm a conservative Republican." Jhamilton303 similarly wrote on his user page, "My name is John, and my interests in editing are politics and public figures." As seen with that Jhamilton303 WP:Diff-link, once I accused Jhamilton303 of WP:Sockpuppetry at the talk page of the Abstinence-only sex education article, he changed his user page text to, "My name is John, I like sports. I'm from Illinois, my friends call me Jack."

Cali11298 was repeatedly reverted at the Abstinence-only sex education article, and, as seen at the Abstinence-only sex education talk page, does not understand how to apply the WP:Neutral policy. Jhamilton303 showed up to essentially make the same edit as Cali11298.

Cali11298 was repeatedly reverted at the Soon and Baliunas controversy article, including by William M. Connolley and VQuakr. Jhamilton303 showed up to essentially make the same edit as Cali11298 and was reverted by Dave souza. As seen in that revert by Dave souza, Jhamilton303 also does not understand how to apply the WP:Neutral policy.

When, at the Abstinence-only sex education talk page, I told Cali11298 that I was certain that he was not a new Misplaced Pages editor, he gave me the explanation that WP:Sockpuppets usually give; "I'm not new to editing Misplaced Pages but I previously edited with only an IP address, and decided to create an account." He then stated at my talk page, "You know, sockpuppetry is a serious accusation, and I don't like being accused of it." Similarly, at the Abstinence-only sex education talk page, Jhamilton303 stated, "I am not a sockpuppet, and I don't take kindly to being accused without hard evidence."

Also seen at the Abstinence-only sex education talk page, Cali11298 repeatedly WP:Pings me, stating "Flyer22," despite my having told him that I don't need to be WP:Pinged there since that article/talk page is on my WP:Watchlist. Jhamilton303 does the same with regard to WP:Pinging; he also did this linking instance even though (clearly unknown to him) WP:Pinging only works with a new signature.

Cali11298 calls me "pal." Jhamilton303 calls me "buddy."

Looking at their contribution links, you can see that Cali11298 and Jhamilton303 mark edits as WP:Minor even when those edits clearly are not WP:Minor; I warned Cali11298 about this at the Abstinence-only sex education talk page. Flyer22 (talk) 01:31, 9 April 2015 (UTC)

Since I clearly do not think that this is Cali11298's first time WP:Sockpuppeting, I would not be surprised if he has a sockfarm. I ask that the WP:CheckUser also check for WP:Sleepers. Flyer22 (talk) 01:33, 9 April 2015 (UTC)

And let's not forget that they both like to preface comments with "Sorry," as seen here and here. Flyer22 (talk) 01:43, 9 April 2015 (UTC)

Comments by other users

Accused parties may also comment/discuss in this section below. See Defending yourself against claims. It's extremely difficult to believe that Jhamilton303, an editor with 27 article edits in 1 day of editing, would randomly overlap with Cali11298 on four widely varied articles:

• Soon and Baliunas controversy - concerning a review study about global warming
• Abstinence-only sex education
• Lani Guinier - a civil rights theorist
• Gary Franks - a Republican politician

There is certainly enough evidence presented above for a duck block. but I agree with Flyer22 that a check for sleepers would be a good idea. BMK (talk) 01:42, 9 April 2015 (UTC)

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments

I'd like to get my story out here and defend myself against Flyer's gratuitous allegations. First off, Flyer22 is completely in the wrong here. I didn't change my text on my user page to hide from anything, I changed it to explain more about me. You see, the part about editing politics was deleted by accident when I went to update it, I must have highlighted it and backspaced, but forgot to undo it. Unfortunately, it seems that Flyer22 likes to jump to conclusions. Just because someone, in this case me, happened to support another editor's idea, another editor who he felt to be wrong, doesn't automatically mean that I'm a sockpupper of said editor or working in concert with him. I can assure you, I am not Cali, I've never met the guy, and I'm not some rabid Wiki vandal gone wild. Flyer's slanderous accusations are built on nothing more than innuendo and hearsay. Contrary to Flyer's claim, I don't always rate my edits as minor – not by a longshot – and whenever I do, I label them that way because they are minor, with cases such as fixing spelling errors, removing dead links, or fixing comma mistakes. The vast majority of my edits are labeled as minor because they are minor. Jhamilton303 (talk) 01:51, 9 April 2015 (UTC)
