Evidence

All these IP addresses have edited within the past 2 weeks, except for 82.27.103.3 (last edit 2007-07-13) and 81.157.172.208 (last edit 2007-06-20). All but three have edit histories of over 8 months.

Several of these have their own tendentious edit histories, and all appear to be YourLord, a banned user evading block. YourLord acknowleges (post-ban) a history of IP editing.

81.152.188.27

Contacts me self-identifying as YourLord. Asks to have {{socksuspect}} template removed from other IP address Talk pages since he is no longer re-creating deleted pages.

While not capable (as an anon) of the behavior he was banned for, he is currently resuming old tendentious behaviour around restoring removed (and improper) article categories (something he's been warned about )

Implies this is a static IP.

81.157.172.208

Identifies this as the 2nd IP address from which he currently edits. Implies this is a static IP (not sure about subsequent addresses).

81.145.240.57

Self-identifies in the above message while posting from this account.

YourLord edits subjects relating fictional characters with super powers. Distinquishing behavior is adding certain categories to none-too-appropriate subjects, typically continuing to do so after others' objections.

82.27.103.3

This IP self-identifies as User:YourLord to defend similar categorization to the article Stewie Griffin. ]

81.151.200.60

This IP performed the edits defended above. Categories are "Fictional bisexuals", "Supervillains", "Fictional dictators"

81.157.172.208

Defense of above categorizations. While not self-identifying as YourLord, continues to advocate/rant for YourLord's obsessions. Then restores same defense from IP 82.27.103.3 (see above) with odd signature ]

81.145.240.65

Troll-ish remark on same Stewie Griffin argument. Edit history is atypical, less dominated by comic book style subjects, but general resembles YourLord if avoiding such subjects.

81.145.241.148

Edits previous YourLord comment in Stewie Griffin . Edit history, while including typical YourLord topics, branches out into British media, sport and music subjects, which are common on the two IPs with atypical edit histories (81.145.240.65 and 81.145.241.241, immediately above and below).

81.145.241.241

Also avoids usual comic book style subjects. Typical YourLord categorization, again with Stewie Griffin.

81.145.240.39

Self-identifies as YourLord, continues request to have {{socksuspect}} notices removed. Current edit history for this IP address resembles the two "atypical" histories above.

Comments

I think the report is correct. If YourLord were innocent of sockpuppetry with these IPs, he would not have edited to say "These are not me" in a very suggestive tone: he would simply have ignored it. These IPs are guilty of many instances of vandalism and trolling.

Only two IPs are sufficiently active as of this writing to warrant blocks, and since I'm not an admin, I can't block them anyway. But if they flare up again, please do block them. Shalom 15:08, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
