I've Orthogonius's disruptive behavior on his/her user talk. This came directly on the heels of my edit warring against Attleboro. Orthogonius has a precocious , with first few edits being reversions and the being the addition of a main template. If you compare the two users' edit histories, I believe '''every single revert''' Orthogonius has ever done (and there are a lot in his/her short editing history) was done in tandem with Attleboro's reversions (see Attleboro's history ), and the two editors' POV are identically aligned. I could go on but I think that's sufficient. --] (]) 00:52, 5 November 2013 (UTC)

P.S. I could notify the accused users of this SPI but I'd rather not, since I don't want to inflame tensions if I'm somehow mistaken. If an admin would prefer that I notify, however, then let me know and I will. --] (]) 00:54, 5 November 2013 (UTC)

;Update 11/5/2013
This goes much deeper than I had thought. If you look at Attleboro's early edit history you'll see similar and even more precocious behavior -- including of a by 108.120.179.135. Look at and you'll see alleged (''alleged'') links among Attleboro, Mbhiii, Welhaven, Trift, 98.69.193.71, and "a long list of others." I think a comparison of the edit histories of Attleboro and these other editors bears out 108.120.179.135's claims. You'll see very similar ] to Attleboro-Orthogonious in similarly intense edit wars. (] was particularly brutal.) In addition there are accusations of links with Dawakin. To top it all off Mbhiii, Dawakin, and Welhaven were blocked indefinitely for sockpuppetry and disruption back in 2010-2011. Before being blocked Mbhiii had a pretty consistent interest in health care legislation and a similar POV to Attleboro. In sum, this may be a lengthy, elaborate, and extremely disruptive pattern of ]. --] (]) 22:09, 5 November 2013 (UTC)

And ]'s Mbhiii's SPI page, which hasn't had an active investigation since February 2012. And I see at the bottom a CU was done comparing Attleboro to Mbhiii and it came up negative. However Attleboro's early edit history clearly shows behavior evidence of a link with ''some'' other user. --] (]) 23:11, 5 November 2013 (UTC)
