The original user was indef blocked for continuing to add unsourced content after being warned and blocked several times. The user has a history of adding the corporate suffixes (eg. Inc., Corp.) onto the articles of various companies, ex:, , , ,. There may be more accounts created by this user that I'm not aware of, so I'm requesting a CU. █ EMARSEE   02:42, 29 September 2013 (UTC)

Edits are similar in style to those of Neji. See 1 - addition of corporate suffixes compared to this edit from Neji, 2 - removal of abbreviations compared to this edit from Neji. █ EMARSEE   03:44, 11 October 2013 (UTC)

''Accused parties may also comment/discuss in this section below. See Defending yourself against claims.'' The behavioral case by Emarsee is well-made (and I hope that the incorrect request for CU will have no bearing). In addition to the style of edits, as documented by Emarsee, another behavioral match is the choice of articles--both Neji56565onyoutube and the IP have an interest in TV networks and Canadiana. I would add that the sockmaster showed an extreme level of abuse--there were 1000s of edits like this--so addressing the IP could be highly effective in preventing further abuse and socking.

The previous SPI that was denied for being "too stale" also featured the IP within the range of 216.8.X.X. The edits made by the three accounts feature similar edits: modification of corporate suffixes, , compared to  made by Neji. Fixing capitalized trademarks:,. Removal of abbreviations:, , , [ Edits by the three accounts are mostly related to telecommunications, which used to be Neji's primary focus. █ EMARSEE   22:58, 20 December 2013 (UTC)

''Accused parties may also comment/discuss in this section below. See Defending yourself against claims.'' This is a very, very strong behavioral match, in terms of long strings of minor edits to company names without edit summaries, interest in television and Canadiana. I'm sorry that this kid is still at it. CU not needed. Logical Cowboy (talk) 23:10, 20 December 2013 (UTC)
