- Evidence
User is a sock of User:AFI-PUNK, already blocked for sockpuppetry in May of this year. See the case here.
I got suspicious about this user when he reverted an edit I made to Post-Hardcore and left a message on my talk page, telling me not to bother and essentially claiming ownership of the page. Looking at other edits this user has made led me to the original username, which was reported by User:Hoponpop69 and the disruptive user, sock IPs and another username subsequently blocked. Both User:Minutes to Rise and the anon IP have made edits to articles AFI-PUNK and its socks have edited, and continued in its grand tradition of making contentious, uncooperative edits on user talk pages. I believe that a look through both users' edit histories and comparing them with AFI-PUNK will reveal them to be the same person. This is pretty open-and-shut sockpuppetry.
- Additional evidence supplied by TheLetterM via email
Please take into my consideration evidence that User:Minutes to Rise is using User:87.167.226.119 as a sockpuppet, and evidence showing how both are sockpuppets for User:AFI-PUNK (also banned for sockpuppetry).
Evidence showing that User:87.167.226.119 (heretofore referred to as "The IP address") is an SP of User:Minutes to Rise:
IP posts comment on my Talk Page, signs it as Minute to Rise.
This time, Minutes to Rise himself posts a comment.
Also see the following: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Post-hardcore&diff=prev&oldid=144436418 http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Post-hardcore&diff=prev&oldid=144437951
Observe the same edits to the post-hardcore article by the "different" users.
Thus, I believe this shows that the IP address and Minutes to Rise are one and the same.
Evidence showing how the above are Sock Puppets of banned User:AFI-PUNK:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_Paramour_Sessions&diff=132217330&oldid=132117239 http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_Paramour_Sessions&diff=prev&oldid=144416642
These show AFI-PUNK and the IP address making edits to the same page, both stating how this album "has a few pop-punk influences".
Edits here posted on the Talk Page of defunct user Hoponpop69 have the same insulting tone and all-caps typing that both my talk page and user SalaSkan have endured.
Furthermore, I've just run WHOIS on the IP address, the results seen here:
Now, after comparing with the WHOIS entries from IPs from the AFI-PUNK suspected sock puppets page
comes the following:
- http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools/whois.ch?ip=87.167.211.93&email=on
- http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools/whois.ch?ip=87.167.231.59&email=on
- http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools/whois.ch?ip=87.167.249.151&email=on
- http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools/whois.ch?ip=87.167.235.7&email=on
Showing that the IPs are indeed related and come from the same place.

More evidence: I am now 100% certain it is him. The IP made another all caps comment on a talk page [1], and then Minutes to Rise signed it.[2] SalaSkan 11:50, 14 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- Conclusions
This seems a pretty clear case of sockpuppetry to continue revert warring. I have indefinitely blocked Minutes to Rise as a sockpuppet of User:AFI-PUNK who was blocked for the same thing. -- zzuuzz (talk) 23:14, 14 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
