Community ban for BLP-violating, sock-hopping conspiracy theorist from Hyogo, Japan
Proposing a community ban for a long-time disruptive editor from Hyogo, Japan. A formal WP:BAN will make applying any technical measures and cleaning up the edits require less red tape. This individual has used the following IPs: (It's possible there may be a named account sockmaster, probably blocked, but haven't run across it if so.) Typical behavior is (based on the warnings issued) mostly WP:BLP violations, WP:NPOV & WP:V/WP:NOR problems, and vandalism. The main account is used until blocked, then hops to one of the other IPs until the block is expired, then returns. The raw stats for the edits from across these 10 IPs is: 286 total edits, receiving 37 distinct warnings, and 15 blocks. Top three warning types are BLP (10 warnings), WP:NPOV problems (9 warnings), and WP:V/WP:NOR and vandalism warnings (7 each). There was at least one case where the individual's edits required REVDEL or oversight and resulted in a 2-week block. This works out to about 1 warning (and most often a BLP warning) for every 7.7 edits, and one block for every 19 edits, requiring attention from 11 different administrators. Clearly this individual is WP:NOTHERE and a waste of our resources.
 * (96 edits, 12 Jul 2011 - 8 Apr 2013) - probable "master"

A ban on the individual should be effective because the edits are easy to identify. They come from (almost always) static IPs in or near Hyogo Precture, Japan, which I would imagine is not a very common editing source location for en.wp, the edits themselves are in what I imagine is a particularly unusual subject area for edits coming from this area, and also have a distinct style. Typical BLP edits target individuals of certain (suspected) background, often include conspiracy theories, never include reliable sourcing, edit summaries often include ALL CAPS. Examples:
 * George Soros, added "He is reputed to have extremely reliable sources of "insider" information prior to assuming positions of interest, and had been briefed on the 1st report of fundemental design flaws (reported 35 years ago) of GE Fukushima Reactor.", edit summary "Added enhanced corporate foresight to IMPLICATION OF SOROS [Corporate Negligence] in GE ecological and humanitarian crimes"
 * History of the Jews in South Africa, added "Convicted criminal Alfred Beit financed Cecil Rhodes and worked under the cover of the Crown Charter to amass domination of the diamond fields in South Africa, which was then taken over by Jewish-bornErnest Oppenheimerin 1927. Beit, particularly influential in Africa, having divested himself from the Crown Charter, went on to deceive Lobengula and created Rhodesia. Solomon Joel, his brother Jack Joel were brought into the company of Beits main early fellow Jewish rivalBarney Barnato. Such influence and power as these men held is significant not only to African, but also to Jewish history.", edit summary "FOUNDERS AND FINANCIERS(dare one say robbers) OF SOUTH AFRICA AND RHODESIA"
 * Jewish religious terrorism, added "Jewish Terrorism against the British Mandate Palestine: There were a number of attacks perpetrated by Jewish terrorists on British Policemen, Government Offices, Prison Guards, civilians, and foreign dignitaries in Mandate Palestine. Count Folke Bernadotte was murdered by Jewish Terrorists.  The King David Hotel was bombed by Jewish terrorists who disguised themselves and entered via the staff-entrance.", edit summary "added MANDATE PALESTINE, do not hesitate to contribute."
 * Elie Wiesel, added "Wiesel was devastated having lost the bulk of his fortune to Bernanke Madoffs Ponzi scheme. To add insult to injury, he was the unwitting victim of telephone hacking/wiretapping by the Israeli firm Amdocs.", edit summary "victimised by double-whammy, BERNANKE MADOFF FINANCIAL CRIME and AMDOCS/Rupert Murdoch GLOBAL TELEPHONE HACKING SCANDAL"
 * Arms Trade Treaty, added ", in a possible reference to the Israeli sale of the US AWACS system to Chinese." adding unsourced speculative motivation for something Hillary Clinton said; also added "The current debate within the gun-control lobby in Washington, DC in draft documents, has been critical of the proliferation of large-calibre handguns and "assault rifles" produced in disreputable Middle-Eastern countries, such as the Desert Eagle and the Uzi, which have been glamourised in Hollywood. ... There has been criticism of Dimona-produced [polonium]] and cesium, which may have found its way outside of the middle-east, and has ostensibly been used in assassinations and the construction of dirty-bombs.", edit summary "Undid revision 548515610 by Parsecboy (talk) parsec boy is clearly misleading wikipedians, failing to mention his censure of Basil Zacharov".
