Cmonflippie has been editing since August 2010 and he or she edits Atari 5200 exclusively. Recently, Cmonflippie engaged in an edit war which resulted in full protection of the page for five days. An anonymous editor (108.75.204.28) was also engaged in this edit war. In the post-protection discussion, a second anonymous editor (167.138.234.18) accused another editor (user:Wgungfu) of sockpuppetry. Going back in the page history, one finds a handful of related IP addresses making edits similar in editorial bent and sometimes content to Cmonflippie's edits. Most significantly, there were two flurries of edit warring in late January:,. The initial edit contains language identical to Cmonflippie's very first edit and true to his word, he did stop once the word failure was removed.

My interpretation of these facts is that Cmonflippie is using and has a history of using anonymous IP addresses allocated for the Miami, Florida area to make disruptive edits to this article. 167.138.234.18 may or may not be in the Miami area; it's allocated to Wachovia and is presumably assigned to a workplace somewhere in Florida.

 * Most of these IPs geolocate to the same area. The article in question has already been protected, though, so I think we can hold off on any sort of one-off blocks for now. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 03:57, 28 November 2011 (UTC)
