Checkuser is very ill-equipped to detect for this kind of thing.  It's
normal for a single person to use different computers, sometimes rather far
away via network topology.  For example, if a person logs to Wikipedia from
home, from office, perhaps while commuting on a train -- that makes three
distinct addresses already with nothing obviously untowardly going on.

Considering this, and the fact that checkuser people are sometimes
incompetent and always secretive, I wouldn't say that the checkuser
confirmed Russavia using a single PC.  I would say that the checkuser was
likely useless to determine it either way.

Quite possible, but given the above, I wouldn't agree it's an interpretation
well supported by the available evidence.

Well, some of that drudgery work might theoretically be automated.  (This
would explain both Russavia's willingness to do them *and* the 60-hour
editing streaks.)  He doesn't strike me as a programmer, but I might have
misjudged him, and if he *has* it as a full-time job, then somebody else
might be doing the software development for him.
