Evidence

All three users are primarily and actively involved with a pair of active AfDs: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ronn Torossian and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/5W Public Relations. All three have also made a handful of other edits, mostly related to Israel. All three have made brief additions to articles, all in the form "On Month Day, Year, the following event occurred."

• Agavtouch
  • Karnei Shomron [1] - re terrorist attack in Israel
  • Annapolis, Maryland [2] - re Israeli expectations at Peace Conference
• Batright
  • Sderot [3] - re rocket attack in Israel
  • User:Batright [4] - English teacher in Israel
  • Hapoel Jerusalem [5] - re efforts to disrupt an Israeli basketball game
• Heathspic
  • Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Anglo-Saxon economy [6]. "Many non-English speaking nations have large Anglo-Saxon communities (i.e. -Israel)...", all the more bizarre, as the article never mentions Israel in any way.

Comments

Please examine also the contributions of User:Zonenet, with regards to the AfDs. I had flagged Agavtouch as a probable sock or puppet-master. Michaelbusch (talk) 03:23, 25 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Conclusions

It is clear to me that all three provided accounts are operated by a single individual. I arrived at this conclusion primarily after a number of clear indications:

1. The similar editing pattern and preferences.
2. The userpage similarities - e.g., one-line "mini-biographies", mentioning occupation
3. The similar votes on the AfD; similar language and word choice
4. The strongly-worded !votes in the AfDs, all of which where in identical directions.

Thus, it is  Likely Agavtouch = Batright = Heathspic. Anthøny 16:55, 25 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
