Continual disruptive editing of various pages, especially talk pages, looks remarkably similar. Note that they often feature unsourced claims, not attempts to sign their names and volatile reactions whenever anyone questions them. [] [] []. Convinced this user is the sockpuppeter as all the IPs have edited this article at least once. [] CBFan (talk) 18:33, 27 March 2012 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but checkuser does not generally disclose connections between IPs and named accounts. TN X Man 19:29, 27 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Master given 1 week for disruptive logged out editing. I don't know how old this sockmaster goes, so will leave an extension of the block up to JBW, the admin blocking the IPs. -- DQ  (ʞlɐʇ)  07:59, 1 April 2012 (UTC)

 * I blocked a couple of the IPs, but Fastily had blocked 121.217.15.206 for three months long before I came on the scene. Fastily's three months seems to me a reasonable length, particularly since the disruption has been going on for just about three months (unless there is more further back that I have missed). I have therefore blocked the master for that length of time. I think this can be closed now. JamesBWatson (talk) 13:51, 1 April 2012 (UTC)

For the user, I think the near identical username is proof enough. For the IP, I noticed identical additions of unclarified information to articles  and page blanking whenever a warning was issued. Also both have made edits to this article. "Alison" is already undergoing a 3 month ban for disruptive editing and sockpuppeting, but these would suggest avoidance of said ban. 85.210.191.129 (talk) 20:33, 29 May 2012 (UTC)

 * Based on behavioral evidence, these sure look like the same user. Blocked and tagged. ​—DoRD (talk)​ 00:48, 30 May 2012 (UTC)

Edits made to Talk:Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex as seen here, where the user makes unsourced claims about "remakes" and "re-releases", is practically identical to statements made in other talk pages by already established IPs used by sockpuppet master, as well as sockpuppet master themselves. . Again, most significant is the fact that they have contributed, again, to this userpage created by the Sockpuppet master. . Alison Buchanan was due to be unblocked by the end of this month. I am pretty positive from these usages of IPs that they do not intend to contribute fairly, and can't help think the block needs extending. 85.210.187.251 (talk) 22:32, 28 June 2012 (UTC)

 * The IP's last edit was in April. Even if the suspected sock-master was still using that IP address (it's likely to have been re-assigned), I'm not seeing any recent activity that requires a preventative block. I'll close this case now, without prejudice to re-opening in the event of later activity. AGK  [•] 23:34, 28 June 2012 (UTC)

I am posting this again due to an apparant case of mistaken identity from another IP. Rather than "the last edit was in April", as was believed, the last edit was yesterday...two days before the sockpuppet master was due to be unblocked. As stated before, it seems apparant that they are still not willing to contribute fairly. And, to make it clear this time, here are the contributions to the IP. 85.210.187.251 (talk) 14:54, 29 June 2012 (UTC)

Seems very clear to me. This edit is made by the IP to a subpage of Alison Buchanan, which on its own connects them somewhat strongly. There are also two edits to Tekken Tag Tournament, by the IP and the master making similar changes to the character section. Both master and IP also like to mess with the references on the Street Fighter X Tekken character section. Recommend blocking the IP for evasion. Regards, MacMedtalk stalk 16:29, 29 June 2012 (UTC)

Edits made by this contributor are identical to ones made by the Sockpuppeter, who recently received a six-month ban for continuing to vandalise after their previous block had finished. The addition of unsourced information to talk pages is identical (old -, new - ), as is continual vandalism of Tekken Tag Tournament 2 (Old - , New - ). As if that wasn't enough, BigBumBro has also edited Alison's personal page...and note the last-name given. They practically reveal themselves. . And as Alison, as stated already, has recently been banned, this means this is block evasion. 85.210.178.219 (talk) 07:30, 27 July 2012 (UTC)

Addition of "Crash Bandicoot HD Classic Trilogy", created by Alison, is added to page here. The poor grammar is quite distinctive to Alison. Block evasion. 88.109.16.225 (talk) 06:53, 4 August 2012 (UTC) 88.109.16.225 (talk) 06:53, 4 August 2012 (UTC)

 * Closing as stale. Please refile if there is new evidence of socking.

Continual vandalism of Tekken Tag Tournament 2 and Street Fighter X Tekken. Edits are unsourced and identical to Alison's style ...user is clearly abusing multiple IPs. 88.109.22.89 (talk) 10:46, 10 August 2012 (UTC)
