was blocked 4 August 2013 by Infrogmation as a puppet of Billy Hathorn. Dragon Rap221's user page was temporarily moved to Hissrapmaster. Hissrap18 started editing on 6 September 2013 with improbably similar patterns. Checkuser requested to prevent evasion of indef block. DPRoberts534 (talk) 05:51, 25 September 2013 (UTC)

Weird it is. Thanks for looking into it Amalthea. DPRoberts534 (talk) 06:45, 25 September 2013 (UTC)

Added. User has not edited since 27 April. Similar interests, username, and editing patterns. DPRoberts534 (talk) 16:01, 25 September 2013 (UTC)

Some additional evidence: an account was created on 8 April. It has no contributions on this wiki. It was globally locked for abusing multiple accounts on Wikiversity. The other accounts involved were and Hissrap1999. 123lilbrad was also blocked on this wiki for "vandalism: or more likely gross incompetence". Before that, he created a user page User:123lilbrad/Books/Dragon Lil Brad. DPRoberts534 (talk) 04:19, 27 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Also User:Hissrap1999, but only Hissrap18 is still able to edit, all others are blocked or locked. I'm checking with the stewarts who handled the accounts in April. Amalthea  19:17, 27 September 2013 (UTC)

 * The tag marking Dragon Rap221 a sock of Billy Hathorn was placed by Dragon Rap221 himself, it seems Infrogmation blocked only because of that self-declaration. At a glance at the contributions, I don't think the two accounts Billy Hathorn and Dragon Rap221 are actually related.
 * The page overlap combined with the name similarities (Dragon Rap221,, Hissrap18) makes it likely in my eyes that they the two accounts are the same person, but this whole situation is so weird that I want to talk to him first.
 * I've asked Hissrap18 to explain what's going on. Amalthea  08:23, 25 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Never deigned to respond, and has now been blocked independently, so I'm closing this. Thank you for pointing out the 123lilbrad connection, DPRoberts534, that made this case much easier. The editor caused problems across wikis with numerous accounts, e.g. by uploading numerous copyright violations on commons that have now all been cleaned up. If you notice him return please do not hesitate to re-open. Amalthea  00:01, 29 September 2013 (UTC)
