Evidence

User:JB196 was banned back in September, for edit warring on numerous articles, including Death Valley Driver Video Review, Wrestling Spirit, along with a running argument with administrators. He did not take this lying down, using AOL Proxies continuing to spam article tabs (such as notability, etcetera) on articles he did not like. He did so until the pages were semi-protected, would wait for them to time out, and then continue adding the tags to the article.

Now, User:BooyakaDell (first edit is on 11/19 is acting the same way, with edits only on wrestling articles, adding the notability tag to the Death Valley Driver Video Review article, as well as adding to a section on criticism of the site's administrators (after causing trouble there, he was banned), and all his edits have to do with wrestling articles (which is JB196's interest). I feel very strongly that this is User:JB196, using a WP:SOCK account to get around his indefinite ban, and to try to get around any semi-protection of pages.

Edit: I'm not so sure about BooyakaDell, but he's continuing to edit war from IP adderesses on the Wrestling Spirit Article.

I think it is. I have just reported User:BooyakaDell for abusing the notability tags which is consistent with his previous behaviour. Was he persisently claiming the right under WP:NOTABILITY? That's what he's doing to me, and I've slapped a test4 on his user talk page which he has labelled invalid. Yeah right! Curse of Fenric 02:21, 6 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Added User:I Wear Two Shoes - multiple AfD's on wrestling articles. Tevildo 07:31, 5 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Blocked by the admins. SirFozzie 19:21, 5 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Added User:MusicqueenEr. As above. Tevildo 22:41, 5 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Removed the PROD, and asked the Admin I work with for action. SirFozzie 22:49, 5 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The latest Sock has been banned, and created a page to help educate anyone who runs into JB in the future: Wikipedia:Long term abuse/JB196

Comments

Has a Checkuser been requested yet? Lethaniol 11:52, 30 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That's coming soon, just wanted to see if folks thought it was a possible first. SirFozzie 06:01, 1 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Declined, the Suspected sockpuppet master (JB196) was banned in September, and they can't attempt to match the two , due to the length of time not making it possible to check IP's

Conclusions

Was proven by a CheckUser and BooyakaDell, another account, and IP addresses have all been blocked SirFozzie 00:03, 4 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
