Ip block evasion, this editor used to extensively use sonnets in communications in wikipedia. If you check the most recent comment by 69.x you see he uses sonnets, part of the meltdown after the indef block and the request and umpteen other references he decried that he was a donater to wikipedia and the same is being used by 71.x This is behavioral only as obviously checkuser can't comment on named accounts/ip and super stale but i have never seen a duck if this isn't Proof77

I'm very confident that these IP's are Mbz1. I'm also very confident that Mbz1 and Proofreader77 are not the same person. I've been in email contact with Proof on and off since his indef block, I really don't think they'd be able to pull the wool over my eyes for so long. The personalities are very different. I don't know why Mbz1 mentioned Proofreader77's talk page when she was talking to me, but I think linking the two accounts is a red herring. --

Note that Proofreader77 used to write his own sonnets, whereas Mbz1 here is quoting Shakespeare. Also, @
Newyorkbrad: has written sonnets on WP before; I assume you don't think he's Mbz1/Proofreader77 too. "Having something to do with sonnets" is a pretty weak duck test. --

It was a general sanction on Proof itself, alone I would definitely agree with you, the mentions of the donations and that put together is why I think it's a duck test. It's an overall look that leads me to it. I've been wrong before though as you well know so I'll leave that up to others to decide. I'm just presenting the evidence I see. The
User:Gwen Gale comments is also what tells me, there was several IP comments about her on various pages that was most definitely him.

Mbz1 has always taken a strong interest (if I can put it that way) in Gwen Gale, for several years now. Maybe Proofreader does too, and maybe they were both involved in the same incident or incidents sometime in the past, but they are very clearly distinct people. On a side note, I'm not sure that material in the form of sonnets would be an approved component of recognised Brad-speak. --

Floquenbeam is clearly correct.

Checkuser comment: We will not be linking IP addresses to a specific account, particularly one that has not made edits in several years and thus is Stale. Block IPs that are violating policies such as
WP:NPA as appropriate to the situation.

The
only IP in the list which is still active was blocked as an open proxy. Closing as nothing else to do here. —
