It is obvious that User:Blackcaptain = User:OliverTwist88 = 24.25.218.135. (WP:DUCK)

User: GrandMariner put a message on User_talk:Coopuk that is very similar with a recently one posted by IP 24.25.218.135 on the same page:

He also contributed on Ferenc Puskás, article, like OliverTwist88 and IP 24.25.218.135 did in the past Iaaasi (talk) 05:43, 19 February 2011 (UTC)

In the Discussion page of Golden Team, comments for users GallopingMajor, OliverTwist88 and GrandMariner all claim to either have been the main author of the page, or to have been working on for the last 4-5 years. I find it unlikely that we have three users all working on the same article for that period without having some conflicts on revision history, which suggests to me that they are the same person. I appreciate this is a subjective conclusion. Coopuk (talk) 11:18, 19 February 2011 (UTC)

 * As I said previously, that IP is in the United States, NOT Hungary. Please understand that. Bsadowski1 05:48, 19 February 2011 (UTC)
 * I don't understand your point. User:OliverTwist88 and 24.25.218.135 were blocked as socks of User:Stubes99, so it is correct to block User: GrandMariner too (Iaaasi (talk) 05:52, 19 February 2011 (UTC))
 * OliverTwist88 was blocked based on behavioral evidence, NOT CheckUser-based evidence. --Bsadowski1 05:54, 19 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Ii is proven that User:Gallopingmajor = User:Blackcaptain = IP 24.25.218.135 = User:OliverTwist88 = User: GrandMariner. So it may be possible this is a separate group (a different sockmaster). However, I'd like to inform the admins that User: GrandMariner might have broken WP:NPA in this message on my talk page (Iaaasi (talk) 06:10, 19 February 2011 (UTC))


 * Based on behavioral evidence, I've blocked GrandMariner. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 13:45, 19 February 2011 (UTC)
 * My block on this account is being questioned, so I'm adding a CU to clarify what's going on. I still stand by my evaluation of behavior, but.. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 14:41, 19 February 2011 (UTC)
 * My personal opinion in this moment is that we have two different sockpuppetry groups: Stubes99 (Hungarian IPs and accounts) and Gallopingmajor - Blackcaptain - OliverTwist88 - GrandMariner - IP 24.25.218.135 (located in San Diego, California, US) (Iaaasi (talk) 14:46, 19 February 2011 (UTC))
 * Hmm, that's interesting. I guess if the CU comes back that OliverTwist88 == GrandMariner, then that theory may hold water. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 14:48, 19 February 2011 (UTC)


 * and are ✅ socks of one another.  Tiptoety  talk 18:14, 19 February 2011 (UTC)


 * Okay, here's what I'm doing. Though this case was originally about Stubes99, I've spun it off onto its own case. Now, given that OliverTwist was incorrectly blocked by me, I'm willing to unblock one of the accounts as long as the user promises not to continue this sort of editing. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 20:21, 19 February 2011 (UTC)
 * I've left a note with both accounts, so it'll be dealt with eventually, I guess. Closing for now. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 15:57, 20 February 2011 (UTC)
