Damolisher logged out so he could continue to edit war on List of Impact Wrestling personnel. See here and here. This user was blocked before for abusing multiple accounts. The IP address edit was also the user violating WP: NOR after a final warning. Requested checkuser in case there are any sleepers. StaticVapor message me!   17:26, 18 February 2019 (UTC)
 * This is a case of WP: DUCK. The edit the IP address made would have been the editor adding WP:OR after a final warning. So I see this as a double reason for a block. StaticVapor message me!   22:47, 18 February 2019 (UTC)
 * User: Sir Sputnik Sorry if my checkuser request was incorrect, I only requested it due to the previous block for abusing multiple accounts. Might have other registered accounts we do not know about. StaticVapor message me!   22:49, 18 February 2019 (UTC)

 * - CheckUser evidence cannot be used to publicly connect a registered account to an IP address. Sir Sputnik (talk) 18:26, 18 February 2019 (UTC)
 * No comment technically, but as the IP hasn't edited in some time, there's nothing behaviorally to assess, so closing procedurally. Re-report for a behavioral investigation by a clerk or admin if disruption starts agains. TonyBallioni (talk) 04:04, 28 February 2019 (UTC)

In the last few days I looked at the history of the talk page of List of Impact Wrestling personnel and I took note of the behaviour of Damolisher. The conduct looked somewhat similar to that of the sock in question although Damolosher looked more aggressive. The only thing truly suspicious was the fact that the sock account was created just two days after the last contribution from the sockmaster. However I was presented with the following evidence by that I would consider pretty conclusive even without other evidence. This shows how many mutual articles both users have edited. I believe this crosses the threshold into a clear duck and SkylerLovefist should be indefinitely blocked. For the record the sock has been subject to previous blocks, the first for conduct similar to that of the sockmaster - incivility. Addicted4517 (talk) 00:18, 11 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Further evidence - the use of the term "unhelpful edit" (ncluding adding an S and an ING). Sockmaster; ; Sock (granted it's only one but it adds to the evidence already presented). Note also that the reasons for the sockmaster's ban is exactly what the sock is engaging in right now (see below and ).  Addicted4517 (talk) 08:55, 9 July 2023 (UTC)

User is clearly now at the point of trying to make editing disputes WP: PERSONAL. The only reason this user is attempting to file this "investigation" is because myself and another user have made a point of criticising his WP:OWN behaviour on a wrestling article. I can't link things here due to mobile editing being a nightmare, but check the talk page of the "List of Impact Wrestling Personnel" page and you'll see Addicted having a slow meltdown over not getting his way. SkylerLovefist (talk) 00:28, 9 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Two points only need to be made here. One - there is nothing here to address the accusations above, and two - how did he find this when he was not notified of this SPI? I'll leave that there for clerks to consider in combination with the evidence given. Addicted4517 (talk) 02:46, 9 July 2023 (UTC)
 * The same could be asked for the fact you haven't been seen in over a month, felt the need to go through my edits, then find some alleged other account of mine and come here for no reason other than "how dare that bad man criticise my actions on Wikipedia." It's WP:Personal, kid. Be honest. You've got a paper trail of a personal vendetta a mile long. SkylerLovefist (talk) 03:12, 9 July 2023 (UTC)

I'd also like to note how flimsy the "evidence" here is: "You have similar pages you edit". One lot is for a TV show from my home country and the other is for my favourite wrestling company. If I'm reading that whatever it is correctly, then most of those pages are "You edited mutual pages years apart." This is literally Addicted4517 continuing a weird personal vendetta over wrestling pages. And while I'm at it, isn't the purpose of a sockpuppet check to remove any malicious editing from sockpuppets of banned trolls, not "this guy hurt my feelings by not letting me wipe an entire section out of a wrestling page and I don't like being criticised for WP:OWN behaviour"?

I'd again like to reiterate for whoever winds up having to waste their time on this that this stems from this user's own personal vendetta against me which you'll note from the talkpage of the List of Impact Wrestling personnel page. User has frequently made unhelpful edits without consensus and clearly exhibits WP:OWN tendancies. This is the definition of WP:PERSONAL behaviour. SkylerLovefist (talk) 07:36, 9 July 2023 (UTC)


 * This is really rather sad, Addicted. You're now trying to vacuum through years old edits over a vendetta because someone keeps pointing out your WP:OWN problem. SkylerLovefist (talk) 09:43, 9 July 2023 (UTC)
 * And HHHPedrigree's talkpage *isn't* evidence of this being WP:PERSONAL? This is just getting sad, kids. SkylerLovefist (talk) 08:00, 10 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Looking from afar, I can see that Addicted does seem to have a personal feud with Skyler. Just look at this from December - 7 full months ago - where Addicted says to HHH Pedrigree on his talk page "The time is coming for one of them in particular. The timing simply has to be right, that's all" He's been looking for months to find a way to put some sort of whammy on Skyler. And in this little exchange from HHH Pedrigree's talk page, Addicted - probably already figuring the SPI is a lost cause - is already thinking of next steps such as searching for "sleeper accounts" This is like Tom Clancy kind of stuff or the CIA looking for "sleeper cells" of ISIS.  The scary part is, if you look through Addicted's contributions, it's not like he and Skyler have had any recent run-ins or confrontations prior to the SPI - sans this, where five full months after a discussion was held on an article topic, which was settled and everybody else had long since moved on, Addicted felt it necessary to just have to get "the last word" in on Skyler.  Addicted telling Skyler to "let it go", when it was Addicted - five months after the dust had settled - who just had to get in a "parting shot" should be the clearest indicator of them all that he was just sitting, stewing, and looking for some kind of way to get revenge on Skyler.  Skyler did "let it go"...it was Addicted who couldn't, which is why we're here now. Vjmlhds (talk)  14:20, 10 July 2023 (UTC)

Unprovoked personal attacks directed at, something that has engaged in before (ANI thread here). The user has popped up occasionally to make similar unprovoked personal attacks against the two of us (others revdel'd) which makes me believe this is him again. — Czello (music) 23:21, 12 December 2023 (UTC)
 * To be clear so I understand, is it accepted to raise a SPI on an IP? — Czello (music) 11:33, 13 December 2023 (UTC)

 * - we're not going to make a comment about whether this is or isn't him from a CU perspective and looking here amounts to fishing. I've dropped a block for what looks like obvious behavior given your description, but it's a short one for an IP that didn't spend a whole lot of time being active. Given the behavior this may be a question for WP:EFN to prevent/log other instances, and WP:AIV in case you end up with another IP being harassing. Izno (talk) 00:22, 13 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Yes, you may post an IP here for discussion of whether they are the editor. You will not however get a CU response. Which is why I made the earlier suggestions, as they are often quicker to remedy an issue if you can point to clear and obvious block evading edits (like random harassment targeting a specific user). Izno (talk) 03:33, 14 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Got it, thank you. — Czello (music) 15:23, 14 December 2023 (UTC)

This IP edited the talk page of the List of TNA Wrestling personnel here. It was yet another personal attack against me consistent with his conduct under his Skyler Lovefist sock here re Twitter as a source - which was what this new section the IP was commenting on was all about. The IP is also from the North Island of New Zealand in it's southern part, which has been previously established by admins as part of the blocking of the Skyler sock as the location of this editor. This is a continuation of the bitterness held by Damolisher against me - apparently I'm told he attacked me previously in a manner that was removed totally (hence why I can't link it) and this applies to also to this under the second sock IP and this under the third sock IP. The IP has also previously attacked other users involved in the blocking of the Skyler Lovefist sock here at HHHPedrigree in the edit summary under sock four (same range as sock three), and here at both Czello and HHHPedrigree under sock five. The fifth sock has already been block for the user name. It looks like this has the makings of long term issues. The duck rule should apply here and I hope this is enough to prove my case. Addicted4517 (talk) 00:25, 19 January 2024 (UTC) Addicted4517 (talk) 00:25, 19 January 2024 (UTC)
 * And just in the last few minutes we now have a sixth sock here restoring the previous comment by sock one that had been removed by HHHPedrigree, and in the edit summary repeated the accusation of sock four. I reverted it again. Addicted4517 (talk) 00:31, 19 January 2024 (UTC)
 * We now have a seventh sock that has already been blocked for personal attacks. A view of his contributions will say it all - including one that has been completely deleted consistent with the previous one mentioned above. This furthers the existing issues. Addicted4517 (talk) 11:58, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Oh and we have another from the same range as sock number 2 as well. It has also been blocked and there was another complete deletion in the contributions. Addicted4517 (talk) 12:04, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
