After being indeffed, Akash used this IP to evade. This IP has the same ISP and is from the same location as the IPs here. Akash was blocked for adding massive amounts of WP:PUFFERY to The Undertaker (among other things), the IPs and AViatingExpert2 have done so as well.


 * 176.252's first edit was to User:B. Mastino's user page, a user that he regularly had conflict with.
 * 176.252 then added content to The Undertaker and edit warred against Masinto on Angelina College
 * 90.202 added content to The Undertaker
 * When this was reverted, AViatingExpert2 made their first edit by reinserting it. LM2000 (talk) 09:27, 31 March 2016 (UTC)

. That's why I reverted the second IP, and tagged the user page as a suspected sock, because it was as obvious as it could be based on behavioral evidence that it was Akash, who I might add isn't just indeff blocked, but outright banned. I didn't bring it here, because I know CU can't be used for an IP address, but a lengthy block of these IPs and a ban on the obvious sock (which could be CU'd) is needed. Maybe then they'll get the idea that no one wants them around here. (Though I get the feeling that they lack the ability to act collaboratively and abide by consensus outright.) oknazevad (talk) 12:55, 31 March 2016 (UTC)
 * DUCK surely applies since both Akash3141 and AViatingExpert2 point to "other" wrestler articles in order to justify their edits to The Undertaker: . B. Mastino (talk) 13:07, 31 March 2016 (UTC)

- IMO, this B.Mastino is a sock puppet of DoubleYouSeaDoubleYou .. After DoubleYouSeaDoubleYou was blocked, it didn't take long for a new user to come and say exactly the same things and use exactly the same policy. It puzzles me how a new user can know so much about policy. B.Mastino is deffo a sock puppet of DoubleYouSeaDoubleYou. As far as I am concerned, I am the suspected users' friend. TIll now, I haven't done anything so I deffo cant get blocked. --AViatingExpert2 (talk) 07:39, 1 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Best to file a formal report, then. You've made your comment; we'll now see what the checkuser comes up with. B. Mastino (talk) 08:16, 1 April 2016 (UTC)
 * If it's not sockpuppetry then it's WP:MEATPUPPETRY. You seem to be familiar with the other editors involved with the article, including user DoubleYouSeaDoubleYou who was blocked over three months ago.LM2000 (talk) 12:37, 1 April 2016 (UTC)

AViatingExpert2 last night violated WP:3RR at The Undertaker; Akash3141 was once blocked for exhibiting the same behaviour, on the same article. B. Mastino (talk) 10:05, 2 April 2016 (UTC)

 * - Please compare Akash3141 with AViatingExpert2. presents the evidence very well. Specific edits that caused me to endorse include  vs . CU requested to confirm. Kevin ( aka L235 ·&#32; t ·&#32; c) 16:59, 10 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Akash3141 and AViatingExpert2 are ✅. Tagged the master and blocked/tagged the puppet.--Bbb23 (talk) 17:44, 16 April 2016 (UTC)

These IPs are edit warring on The Streak (wrestling), a related article to Akashi's favorite subject, The Undertaker. User denies being Akash but not only engages in the same behavior, also continuously mentions long-time rival B. Mastino, who was blocked after the last investigation for being a sock of The abominable Wiki troll. While these IPs edit warred with another IP who they claimed was Mastino, that IP geolocates to Belgum, so I don't think it's actually Abominable. The IPs listed above do geolocate to the UK though, much like the other Akash IPs from the last investigation. LM2000 (talk) 22:10, 16 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Point to be considered is that this user, despite being relatively new seems to have a sound understanding of Akash's edit history. It is very possible that the same user happens to be in Belgium because you don't have to be in the same country all the time .. Also, from the language of this user, his edits, aggressiveness and motives (adding the fact he's returning after a couple month gap just like Mastino did after DoubleYouSeaDoubleYou was blocked) only adds to my suspicion that this user is Mastino. Oh yh and i'm definitely not Akash. Although, he's my mate, it doesn't make us the same person... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:C7D:BF3C:3900:475:A27:4CA1:6234 (talk) 22:22, 16 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Also, having basically been shown how nearly all of my mate's constructive edits have been removed by aggressive users like DoubleYouSea..., B.Mastino, Dr. J Alvarez etc. who are basically all the same people, I am more than familiar with the language used by this one person.. This IP is so new and it is very confusing how he/she would know about my friend's, what even I would consider, semi-aggressive edit warring, if they weren't witnessing it or part of it themselves. The former is highly unlikely because it's a new IP. The latter is very likely because they've been blocked and then return just like Mastino after a gap of a few months with the same motives/ language/ aggressiveness etc. --2A02:C7D:BF3C:3900:475:A27:4CA1:6234 (talk) 22:27, 16 June 2016 (UTC)

It should be noted that the accused has the exact same agenda (puffed-up "legacy" sections relating to The Undertaker), country of residence and ISP as his "mate". I'm not "new"; I've been editing wrestling and MMA articles via IP for around 8 months. 185.54.163.102 (talk) 22:31, 16 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Brother, my house is on the outskirts of Wolverhampton, England and my mate's house in central. There is no way our IP address is the same. Also, there are only a few edits listed underneath your contributions for the IP's you've been reverting my edits with (EG: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/185.54.163.102).. Also, why didn't you ever revert my edits on "The Streak" before, if it really has been 8 months?? --2A02:C7D:BF3C:3900:58C6:871F:36A4:924D (talk) 22:46, 16 June 2016 (UTC)
 * I said you and your "mate" have the same ISP, not IP. There are only a few edits credited to me on the link you gave because I'm on a dynamic IP, just like you are. As for why I didn't revert your Streak edits before, I guess it's because my life doesn't revolve around the Undertaker, like some people's. Great wrestler and all, but come on now.


 * It's a shame you couldn't have parleyed your Undertaker enthusiasm into being a constructive editor, rather than being banned forever more. 185.104.185.226 (talk) 23:14, 16 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Come on now, why should I be banned? My edits on "The Streak", were all very constructive.. I don't think that they weren't not worthy of being there..2A02:C7D:BF3C:3900:C58F:4122:7433:691 (talk) 15:22, 17 June 2016 (UTC)

Anybody want to close this? At this point all accounts are stale. I've seen no sock activity from either Akashi or the Abominable wiki troll since.LM2000 (talk) 06:53, 2 August 2016 (UTC)
