Suspected sockpuppets




Evidence submitted by Jappalang
WikiProject Video games have come to a concensus that Infobox VG shall list only "notable composers such as those with substantial work outside the video games industry" in the composer field. User:Raizen1984 listed the entire composing staff on Project Sylpheed on 11 February. I reverted him with the explanation that it is not meant for indiscriminate listing. He continued to list them twice, expressing a view that shows his ignorance of WP:VG's concensus before seemingly stopping after my explanations and appeals to have a discussion on the talk page.  However, this is not before he decided to reduce the entries to a "notable" and "non-notable" composer, which he self-reverted.  Raizen1984 also did not go to the article's talk page or WP:VG's talk page to pursue his opinions.

Several months later (October 2009), Raizen1984 decided to include all of the composers again, which I do no doubt is an intentional act in light of the circumstances above. I reverted him, pointing out that we had discussed this and he should bring his opinion to the table and seek concensus.  Two IPs, 24.4.28.224 and 99.64.39.86, reverted my reversions.  On investigating the contributions of these IPs, I noticed that they edit only the articles Raizen1984 had.  The edits focus on music, just like Raizen1984's interest, of which this and this on Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots show exact viewpoints. Also on Final Fantasy XII are this and this.

I believe Raizen1984 is intentionally using two IPs from two service providers, Comcast Cable Communications and Heyes Day & Nite Pest Control, to ignore concensus/discussion and enforce his view, regardless of policy and guidelines.

 * - The fact that it is two ISPs is interesting, so a CU should be run to confirm this. NW ( Talk ) 00:59, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

Clerk, patrolling admin and checkuser comments
Raizen1984 has edited from one of those IPs, but not the other. J.delanoy gabs adds 01:03, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

Conclusions
User:Raizen1984 blocked 3 days for edit-warring via IP socks. This user is hopping across IPs, and 24.4.0.0/16 is too busy to anon-only rangeblock. Hence, blocking the IPs won't do much good here. MuZemike 19:45, 19 October 2009 (UTC)
