Curb Chain has recently exhibited behavior highly similar to the indef-blocked troll account, most notably deleting sourced material on spurious grounds&mdash;a signature action of Shaz0t. Another striking overlap is the recent sustained attack by Curb Chain against ]; Shaz0t also targeted BMK.

In October Curb Chain deleted stuff about drug testing because he personally did not have access to some science journals e.g. (there are more like that) in violation of ].

Bernolákovčina had relatively few edits but I do see some overlap:

I don't know if the non-overlap between Curb Chain's edit to ] and Bernolákovčina's 10 edits to ] means anything.

: There is little doubt that those two are the same person. A quick survey of their wikignoming style, which constitutes most of their edits is convincing enough. Also Bernolákovcina edited only for a few days in Jan 2011 and Curb Chain started in April of that year, so it's not exactly socking. The more serious question is proving that Shaz0t and Curb Chain are the same user; these two overlap in time and Shaz0t was used as ] account. ] (]) 13:52, 29 November 2012 (UTC)
* '''Comment''' The constitute edits on different areas of the respective articles, with a ''minimum'' time between edits of 86 days - that means that if CC and Berno are the same person, that person used their sock account to return to a mere 4 articles after ''nearly three months'' in order to make a completely unrelated edit. That doesn't seem like the behaviour of a sockpuppeteer to me. The are even fewer - no article overlap at all, and although the nearest edits are only a week apart, they concern entirely unrelated disagreements with ] on BMK's talkpage. The "similarities" (spurious deletions, use of WP:SYNTH) pointed out above have very dissimilar edit summaries and concern different issues. Looking over the evidence above, I personally don't see any connection between the three accounts mentioned. ]&nbsp;]&zwj;] 14:34, 29 November 2012 (UTC)
* '''Comment''' This is nothing but a malicious effort on Tijfo098's part to retaliate for Curb Chain having raised issues regarding Tijfo098's wiki-friend at ANI. As I pointed out there, this is a new low for Misplaced Pages, and should be closed without further consideration. --] (]) 18:11, 29 November 2012 (UTC)
