Block evasion by RRRR8888; see Administrators%27_noticeboard/IncidentArchive867 for previous instances of block evasion, which concluded with a range block on the editor's IP range.

ParkourGamers' edits are similar and to the same articles as those listed at ANI, and ParkourGamer's first edit was a personal attack on me. ~ Super  Hamster  Talk Contribs 06:36, 8 January 2015 (UTC)

 * The personal attacks coupled with the continued reverting on competition/award-based articles (Sock: 1, 2, 3, 4 Master: 5, 6, 7) gives me good reason to conclude it's a sock. Mike V • Talk 21:25, 8 January 2015 (UTC)

 * Removed the sockpuppet tag from the userpage one of RRRR8888's other puppets, ParkourGamer, with this edit
 * Restored an old (and false) revision with this edit on The Game Awards (the edit is one that RRRR8888 has been trying to get included for quite a while across several accounts, for example: ). ~ Super  Hamster  Talk Contribs 00:27, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Very similar username. Same disruptive edits made to several articles, with inserting of false information (see similar contributions and edited articles of confirmed socks: ParkourGamer, RobotWar, and RRRR8888. ~ Super  Hamster  Talk Contribs 01:40, 27 March 2015 (UTC)

 * , please provide some WP:diffs to show editing similarities.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  20:02, 28 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Sure. Other than the obvious username similarity, the editor tends to add false additions to award-related articles. For example, RRRR888 has repeatedly added a false award category to The Game Awards; meanwhile, 88RRRR88 has added false information to 41st People's Choice Awards (an article also edited by another one of his/her accounts). See here for articles commonly edited by all accounts. Finally, here are two diffs where 88RRRR88 and ParkourGamer restore the same bit of false information: . ~ Super  Hamster  Talk Contribs 22:51, 28 March 2015 (UTC)

The sockpuppeteer is known for inserting blatantly false information into articles about game/award shows, particularly adding fake nominations to award categories. See the archives for past incidents.

BlazeTou has inserted false information in the following articles:
 * 41st Saturn Awards; Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was not nominated per source.
 * List of awards and nominations received by Linkin Park; Linkin' Park did not win.
 * Electronic Entertainment Expo 2014; Riot Games did not have an exhibit, per source.
 * American Ultimate Disc League; the New Jersey Cyclones are not in the league.
 * BlazeTou also takes a strong interest in American Ninja Warrior / Ninja Warrior UK, which all other socks have also done.

BlazeTou has received multiple warnings regarding inserting false information. Each warning was quickly removed by the editor, as all other socks have done ~ Super  Hamster  Talk Contribs 02:23, 25 August 2015 (UTC)

 * This isn't going to be the most useful result, but BlazeTou is ✅ to the blocked accounts User:NinjaRya and User:Matey488. Everything in the archive is, so that's as far as we're getting technically. Courcelles (talk) 22:13, 26 August 2015 (UTC)
