I'm guessing you mean June 2014, as the only earlier investigation was April 2013, which was a royal mess. I havent reviewed all of the socks listed from June onwards, and havent compiled a timeline of Russavia's banned/unbanned/blocked/etc status on English Wikipedia to compare against the rulebook, but from a quick scan those accounts appear to have been doing good work, and not misusing multiple accounts. > It would be fairly understandable if the relevant authorities > on en tried to gather further information.

But why is that relevant to a checkuser on Commons that is stated to have occurred 12 months earlier? -- John Vandenberg _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, <mailto:wikimedia-l-requ...@lists.wikimedia.org?subject=unsubscribe>
