- Evidence
Has edited user talkpages who have dealt with his sockpuppets in the past and prior identities' userpages with aphorisms tagged with "Colective" at the end. [1] [2] [3] Greg Jungwirth seems to be the real identity of the sockpuppeteer as a prior CU case has shown [4] The IP address has been warned due to vandalising his own accounts as a double-bluff.
- Further evidence: Has recently blanked my usertalk page several times ([5] [6] [7]) and may want to consider the Greg Jungwirth account as the master account because of it predating the Rhode Island Hero account by a month. Also can be tied to User:Jungwirthwillkillallrocks given the Greg account tried to move their account to that username a few times [8]. treelo talk 16:12, 16 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Vandalism is ongoing via different usernames and IP addresses, might need something a bit more immediate to deal with this issue. According to a WHOIS check all IP addresses are coming from a single ISP based in Atlanta, GA. --treelo talk 03:29, 22 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Has recently added goading comments to talkpages[9] [10] and userpages of previous identities[11] indicating their connectedness to a spate of pageblanking with associated accounts in an attempt to make those who have dealt with his vandalism in the past feel they cannot "catch him" and may have stolen another account. Given the severity of which Greg wants to vandalise and feel he's unstoppable leads me to believe that he may have mental problems and should have any prior accounts and newly used accounts at WP:LTA, preferably in a subpage. --treelo talk 03:45, 22 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- RFCU filed for suspected user. [12] --treelo talk 18:50, 22 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comments
Excuse me, I haven't been on Wikipedia for a while, so when I came on today, it had a note to my IP address about changes to its talk page. Apparently, I have the same IP address as this person....
I have two questions:
- 1. Is it even possible to have the same IP Address as someone else?
- 2. Will the banning of these accounts affect mine?
I really don't want to be connected to any of this, plese answer back. Pokemega32 (talk) 23:58, 14 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- To answer, yeah they can have the same IP address but not at the exact same time. The vandal's IP address has come from a pool of IP address for your ISP but won't affect you unless you use the same IP address again should it be blocked in which case you'll have to log in to edit. treelo talk 16:12, 16 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Um the only thing I have to do with Rhode Island Hero, is that I live 12 houses away from him. And he is my friend.Greg Jungwirth (talk) 22:00, 22 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Yep, that comment pretty much proves that you're a sock puppet of Rhode Island Hero. DietLimeCola (talk) 00:30, 23 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Conclusions
Greg Jungwirth, The C. Leader, 3151253209225 leader are all indef blocked as a result of the RFCU case. Will look at the rest tomorrow. — Rlevse • Talk • 02:34, 24 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
70.181.24.188 blocked 48 hours for continuing vandalism. 70.253.93.103's vengance, I.P. 70.253.93.103's vengance, and 70.253.93.103's vengance2 are all three blocked as username violations. — Rlevse • Talk • 12:57, 24 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Rather than write out all actions taken, see notes by each name. There is obviously something fishy going on here. "Crips r us" and Rhode Island Hero are not the masters, I think Greg Jungwirth is, so I'm tagging all in this case and the RFCU cases as such--at least they'll all be tagged the same too. — Rlevse • Talk • 13:19, 24 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
