Block evasion by RRRR8888; see Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/IncidentArchive867#Weeks-long_vandalism_to_multiple_articles for previous instances of block evasion, which concluded with a range block on the editor's IP range.

ParkourGamers' edits are similar and to the same articles as those listed at ANI, and ParkourGamer's first edit was [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:ParkourGamer&oldid=639823272 a personal attack on me]. ~SuperHamster Talk Contribs 06:36, 8 January 2015 (UTC)

• The personal attacks coupled with the continued reverting on competition/award-based articles (Sock: [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_Game_Awards&diff=prev&oldid=641538105 1], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=41st_People%27s_Choice_Awards&diff=prev&oldid=641505093 2], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=41st_People%27s_Choice_Awards&diff=prev&oldid=641503618 3], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=41st_People%27s_Choice_Awards&diff=prev&oldid=641502631 4] Master: [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_Game_Awards&diff=prev&oldid=639165385 5], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=American_Ninja_Warrior&diff=prev&oldid=639152763 6], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=American_Ninja_Warrior&diff=prev&oldid=639153042 7]) gives me good reason to conclude it's a sock.

Very similar username. Same disruptive edits made to several articles, with inserting of false information (see similar contributions and edited articles of confirmed socks: ParkourGamer, RobotWar, and RRRR8888. ~SuperHamster Talk Contribs 01:40, 27 March 2015 (UTC)

• {{U|SuperHamster}}, please provide some WP:diffs to show editing similarities. Vanjagenije (talk) 20:02, 28 March 2015 (UTC)
• {{ping|Vanjagenije}} Sure. Other than the obvious username similarity, the editor tends to add false additions to award-related articles. For example, RRRR888 has repeatedly added a false award category to [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_Game_Awards&diff=639165385&oldid=639098504 The Game Awards]; meanwhile, 88RRRR88 has added false information to [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=41st_People%27s_Choice_Awards&diff=prev&oldid=652830551 41st People's Choice Awards] (an article also edited by another one of his/her accounts). See [http://tools.wmflabs.org/sigma/editorinteract.py?user1=88RRRR88&user2=RRRR8888&user3=ParkourGamer&startdate=&enddate=&ns= here] for articles commonly edited by all accounts. Finally, here are two diffs where 88RRRR88 and ParkourGamer restore the same bit of false information: [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=41st_People%27s_Choice_Awards&diff=641505093&oldid=641490952] [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=41st_People%27s_Choice_Awards&diff=652830551&oldid=650713426]. ~SuperHamster Talk Contribs 22:51, 28 March 2015 (UTC)

The sockpuppeteer is known for inserting blatantly false information into articles about game/award shows, particularly adding fake nominations to award categories. See the archives for past incidents.

BlazeTou has inserted false information in the following articles:

• [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=41st_Saturn_Awards&diff=prev&oldid=677571262 41st Saturn Awards]; Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was not nominated per [http://www.saturnawards.org/ source].
• [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_awards_and_nominations_received_by_Linkin_Park&diff=prev&oldid=670870810 List of awards and nominations received by Linkin Park]; Linkin' Park did not win.
• [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Electronic_Entertainment_Expo_2014&diff=prev&oldid=672086030 Electronic Entertainment Expo 2014]; Riot Games did not have an exhibit, per [http://www.polygon.com/e3-2014/2014/6/11/5799232/why-riot-games-isnt-showing-at-e3-and-doesnt-need-to source].
• [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=American_Ultimate_Disc_League&diff=prev&oldid=672086966 American Ultimate Disc League]; the New Jersey Cyclones are [http://www.theaudl.com/teams not in the league].
• BlazeTou also takes a strong interest in American Ninja Warrior / Ninja Warrior UK, which all other socks have also done.

BlazeTou has received multiple warnings ([https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:BlazeTou&diff=672086324&oldid=666002155] [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:BlazeTou&diff=672086675&oldid=672086640] [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:BlazeTou&diff=672087207&oldid=672086842] [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:BlazeTou&diff=677671278&oldid=672088325]) regarding inserting false information. Each warning was quickly removed by the editor, as all other socks have done ([https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:RRRR8888&action=history] [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:RobotWar&action=history] [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:88RRRR88&action=history]) ~SuperHamster Talk Contribs 02:23, 25 August 2015 (UTC)

• This isn't going to be the most useful result, but BlazeTou is {{confirmed}} to the blocked accounts User:NinjaRya and User:Matey488. Everything in the archive is {{IPstale}}, so that's as far as we're getting technically. Courcelles (talk) 22:13, 26 August 2015 (UTC)
