PatA51[edit]

I am convinced that ReinaB is a sock of PatA51, who is currently blocked (by me) for persistent copyright infringement. Both users' edits are almost entirely limited to General Hospital articles, and both frequently post character bios that are copied from other sources. Both appear to be editing from the 64.107.x.x range. P was created on Aug 17, 2007, a few hours after R was blocked for persistent copyright infringement. When I blocked P on Oct 10, 2007, R started editing a few hours later for the first time in 40 days, and also set up a RFA page for herself. There is additional evidence in the accounts' respective contribs where one stops editing and the other starts within minutes. I should also mention that I received an email from R stating that she had only one account and knew not of P.

I am less convinced about the other users, Redtoe, Angla17162 and 74.237.35.23, but I have included them here to get a determination whether they should also be blocked. They have similar patterns of primarily General Hospital edits, although they venture into other daytime soap operas.

Whoever is behind the first two listed accounts has created an extensive copyvio problem that has taken me much time to clean up. We need to do what we can to stop this from continuing. Thank you. -- But|seriously|folks  18:00, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

 Likely PatA51 is ReinaB. The IP data alone suggests its only "possible", but combined with the evidence it seems likely.
