;Evidence
User pages, usernames and contribution histories show that all of the above go by the name of Chris, and have a predilection for editing Coronation Street and Horrid Henry related articles. User:Dodgechris initially took umbrage at, and reverted the use of a compacttoc in the article List of recurring and minor Coronation Street characters [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_recurring_and_minor_Coronation_Street_characters&diff=221206779&oldid=221073315] [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_recurring_and_minor_Coronation_Street_characters&diff=221442565&oldid=221261109]. User then began editing under User:Chris the master who also continually reverted to User:Dodgechris's preferred version [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_recurring_and_minor_Coronation_Street_characters&diff=222707517&oldid=222705736] [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_recurring_and_minor_Coronation_Street_characters&diff=222731607&oldid=222711509] (the latter diff displaying intent to continue reverting after being informed of the 3 revert rule). Latest account is User:Killerboyratz who has avoided directly reverting, but used the article talk page to support the stance of his other accounts under the pretense of being an unrelated user [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk%3AList_of_recurring_and_minor_Coronation_Street_characters&diff=223345939&oldid=218643736].
;Comments
This came to my attention when a redirect [ {{La|Joe McIntyre (Coronation Street)}} ] Coroguy nominated for speedy deletion turned up in :Category:Candidates for speedy deletion.
Dodgechris was active from 9 June through 12 July, Chris the master from 28 June through 2 July, Killerboyratz from 2 through 8 July. Coroguy has been active since 11 July. — Athaenara ✉ 23:33, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

Dodgechris is again active, and has now taken it upon himself to create the account Frickative2. They do say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but this is becoming a real headache. Frickative 15:52, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
