Evidence submitted by Bretonbanquet
Bit of a no-brainer, this one. Felipemassa123 was indef blocked for a death threat against me, and now he's back as... Felipemassa124. I feel a little bit mean about this, because the new account has not done anything wrong, but he is clearly avoiding his block. The IP, likewise, generally contributes well, although he has caused a few problems in the past. They are clearly all the same person. The editor clearly does not understand a lot of the procedures and policies, and he may not have malicious intent, but even so - he's avoiding his block.

124 blocked and tagged. We can leave the IP under an autoblock for now and see what happens. –MuZemike 20:46, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

Almost identical pattern of editing, with the same preoccupation with non-Championsip Formula One races. Similar lack of edit summaries and formula for creating account name. Similar lack of ability in written English (see here and here). Now pursuing a misguided, disruptive recategorisation project using both a new account identity and IP (contributions: Garrypaffet2 and 217.123.215.92) which they refuse to discuss, in addition to indulging in blanking vandalism when cloaked behind the IP identity (see here and here).

We've been here before - user is evading a block, issued for a death threat. He has opened new accounts to evade his block before, e.g. User:Felipemassa124. He also uses his IP a lot, and an unacceptable number of his edits are antagonising other editors, quite apart from the block evasion issue. I suggest a block on his IP, or at least disabling of account creation, and a block on the Garypaffet2 account. Bretonbanquet (talk) 13:24, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

Previous investigation of 217.123.215.92 is here - I believe the above IPs and User:Kevintjeerdsma1996 to be the same user as these previous sockpuppets/sockmaster. The most active IP at the moment is 81.92.176.48, seen edit-warring in tandem with User:Kevintjeerdsma1996 at Andy Priaulx and Colin Turkington. Further edit-warring with both accounts is continuing at 1975 Formula One season after a discussion on this user's edits took place here, a discussion the user initially participated in. The IP is also vandalising,.

The previously-blocked IP 217.123.215.92 was edit-warring to aid User:Kevintjeerdsma1996 at Augusto Farfus at the end of January, and committing vandalism elsewhere. This IP had been blocked on 26 June 2010, and User:Kevintjeerdsma1996 was created on 3 July 2010, in order to avoid this block.

The IP 217.27.231.238 was in use during February and March 2011, and was vandalising/edit-warring, , and here ,. This IP was blocked for vandalism twice in early February 2011.

The IP 188.202.128.34 has only been used to edit User:Kevintjeerdsma1996's user page, but it's clearly all the same guy.

This user has in the past edited in a reasonable way, although he has often caused work for others by making repeated mistakes and refusing to leave edit summaries on any of his accounts. A number of editors have tried to explain what the problems are and have tried to help him, but lately the problems and vandalism with multiple accounts are outweighing any value of his other edits. His talk page contains a number of conversations aimed at helping him out or explaining where he's going wrong, but ultimately to no effect, and a number of users have lost patience.

 * Further edit-warring/vandalism using his IP, continuing at various Dutch racing driver articles (user is Dutch): Michael Bleekemolen, Boy Hayje , Jan Lammers . Bretonbanquet (talk) 20:16, 2 May 2011 (UTC)
 * User's IP vandalised Boy Hayje 4 times in the space of three minutes, , , , breaking 3RR, shortly before leaving the note below with his named account. He similarly vandlised Michael Bleekemolen again at the same time . Maybe his note implies that he will leave edit summaries when he vandalises articles with his IP from now on.

 * I'll second Bretonbanquet's comments, and add that this editor has repeatedly entered into low key, slow burning edit wars using his IP identities to try and throw off suspicion. On one occasion, when challenged at the IP talk page they responded while logged in. The usual pattern is to repeatedly ignore BRD requests and use various identities to fly just on the right side of 3rr. This editor creates more problems than he solves, and as reasonable community attempts to get them to modify their disruptive behaviour have failed this SPI approach is thoroughly justified.

 * 81.92.176.48 is clearly the account. The rest are block stale so I didn't look into them. Logged out editing, and no WP:3RR vio. I'm tempted to close this case but would like a 2nd clerks opinion. -- DQ  (t)   (e)  03:11, 4 May 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm with DQ on this. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 01:56, 6 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Forgive me if I'm wrong, but does this mean you guys are happy with this editor's behaviour? And you don't mind the 3RR violation and the vandalism using multiple IPs? Bretonbanquet (talk) 08:11, 6 May 2011 (UTC)


 * There have been further devleopments + a new master noted here. -- DQ  (t)   (e)  19:44, 6 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Indeed. Can someone provide some actual evidence linking the sock to this new master? As a side note, I've warned both the account and the IP to log in. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 22:45, 6 May 2011 (UTC)
 * As I said above, The IP 217.123.215.92, which was blocked for 6 months as a sock of Felipemassa123, was edit-warring to aid User:Kevintjeerdsma1996 at Augusto Farfus at the end of January, and committing vandalism elsewhere . This IP had been blocked on 26 June 2010, and User:Kevintjeerdsma1996 was created on 3 July 2010, in order to avoid this block. They both exclusively edit motor racing articles, and, just like all the other socks and IPs, they never leave edit summaries or a reference for anything they've ever done. More evidence can be found if required, it won't be difficult. Bretonbanquet (talk) 11:15, 7 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Per behavioral evidence I've blocked and tagged Kevin. I also blocked the 81.92 IP for two weeks. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 13:04, 14 May 2011 (UTC)
 * just to clarify upon closing: this case was originally opened under Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Kevintjeerdsma1996, before being moved to Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Felipemassa123. SpitfireTally-ho! 18:13, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

Yet another disruptive, clueless sockpuppet of this abusive user. Entirely identical pattern of editing, complete lack of any real concern for Wikipedia procedures, protocol and requirements, lack of edit summaries, and unexplained removal of content (e.g. here). In addition to the usual, now we have addition of copyrighted material with no fair use justification, improper removal of tags (here), and reintroduction of the same material even where it has been removed by another editor for entirely proper and justified reasons (here). This banned editor has been shown on numerous previous occasions to merely create reams of clean-up work in their wake and has never contributed anything of real worth to offset this hugely disruptive editing style. I was under the impression that this user was now under a new account creation block, but obviously they have managed to evade even this. Could the closing admin please make sure that any and all IP addresses used and abused by this user are blocked indefinitely, as I'm getting sick of this.  Pyrop e  14:19, 18 July 2011 (UTC)

''Accused parties may also comment/discuss in this section below. See Defending yourself against claims.'' I really thought that we might have cracked this the last time, but he never learns. I had half-suspected DaSilva123 as another sock but was basically hoping it wasn't true. There's no doubt about it though, it's the same pattern and the same problems. We need some kind of concrete lid to put on this or it will come back time and time again. Bretonbanquet (talk) 17:24, 18 July 2011 (UTC)

Same IP as was blocked previously for vandalism and misusing multiple accounts. IP and new named account are being used to edit war and make generally unhelpful edits. This is persistent sockpuppetry which has been going on for over a year. Why do we have to keep coming back here with this guy? Bretonbanquet (talk) 20:57, 24 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Note that the new named account was opened the day after the IP was last unblocked. This is flagrant contempt for the rules against multiple accounts. Bretonbanquet (talk) 21:38, 24 August 2011 (UTC)

Usual pattern of disruption on articles concerning Formula One (see archive). Removing large chunks of information wrongly claiming that it's all incorrect, , and removing references and whole sections with no explanation in the edit summary. This user has used several named accounts and several IPs, all of which have been blocked at some time or another. He always returns with another IP or account.

He has placed a lot of tabular information on the talk page of one of his blocked accounts (User talk:Dasilva123) and is transferring it to mainspace using his new Kirkahengaillaan account.

These two latest accounts sometimes edit the same (sometimes very obscure) articles. Bretonbanquet (talk) 22:24, 9 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Kirkahengaillaan confirms his connection to the IP here, saying that he previously edited using the IP address before he registered his account. But he still uses the IP alongside his account, as he did with previous accounts and previous IPs. Bretonbanquet (talk) 00:55, 10 December 2011 (UTC)
