- Evidence
User:Particleman24 has been a contentious editor, to the point where an RFC was filed against the user. Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Particleman24. Shortly after the RFC was filed, Particleman24 disappears, and User:Moleman 9000 appears, with the same agenda:
- Adding material regarding "YouTube Poop"
- Adding unsourced material to Cartoon Network related articles
- Edit warring
The usernames and behavior are too similar for me to overlook, using a fairly obvious naming convention similar to what is observed with Mascot Guy. Please also note an RFCU at Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/Moleman 9000. Please also review the RFC referred above, as the issues have been fairly well (IMO) documented and endorsed by three ohter users; and the issues from the RFC have not been resolved. Diffs are as follows:
- Particleman24 adding YouTube Poop information to Cartoon Network: [1]
- Particleman24 making statements about copyright infringements on YouTube: [2]
- Particleman24 adding YouTube Poop information to Colgate: [3]
- Moleman 9000 adding the same YouTube Poop to Colgate: [4]
- Moleman 9000 edit-warring over the notability of Cartoon Network characters: [5]
- Moleman 9000 making statements regarding his disregard of copyright: [6]
- Moleman 9000 edit-warring over YouTube Poop: [7]
- Moleman 9000 still edit warring over YouTube Poop: [8]
Well, as it turns out, shortly after I file this report, Moleman is indef blocked for personal attacks [[9], but not before denying the statement of this SSP. Even tho he is indef'ed, I'd still like this case to move forward. Yngvarr (t) (c) 22:46, 27 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I'm adding Special:Contributions/Marzillius based on this.
- Updating with 70.246.50.160, here
- Based on a posting I made to ANI, I'm going to add a few socks here. Please review that diff, this is more of a case of meat-puppetry and off-wiki campaigning (some of which may be viewed at [10]), rather than a simple sock. The Molemen have been blocked, and Hammerthingys42 has not made any current edits beyond a level-one warning. Yngvarr (t) (c) —Preceding undated comment was added at 18:49, October 10, 2008.

- Conclusions
Hammerthingys blocked indef as a sock. Not enough to go on for the other account, and the IPs are somewhat stale, so no further action taken. GbT/c 17:45, 12 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
