– Behavioral evidence clearly indicates that this is Ruin Cireela; no CU necessary. With that said, I have blocked Adventures r cool as a sock. –MuZemike 23:21, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

 * EDEDDNEDDYROX created a template that is incredibly similar to past templates created by previous socks Adventures r cool and IAdventure time. Template even contains a link to Ruin Cireela's user/talk pages, which makes it blatantly obvious that he's a sock. One of the links on Template:Ry also links to another user's sock puppet, Jspyster1, which makes me wonder what sort of connection there is between Ruin Cireela and Komodo lover.
 * Nickname is similar to previous sock EdEddnEddyrockz.
 * Both BLAHBLAHBLAH222222 and EDEDDNEDDYROX recently made strange edits to List of The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack episodes wherein letters were repeatedly removed and readded. Each account did this ten times in the span of a couple of minutes.

 * Iluvzune created a template that is incredibly similar to past templates created by previous socks Adventures r cool, IAdventure time, and EDEDDNEDDYROX (a non-deleted example is Template:Ry).
 * Iluvzune twice reverted List of Adventure Time episodes to a fairly-old version that readds now-removed colored lines to the episode list. Ruin Cireela and other socks have repeatedly made previous edits that reinstated said lines (and other major changes to the episode list table).
 * Iluvzune's user page says that the user's favorite show is Ed, Edd n Eddy, and that the user has a hatred for vandals. Two previous sock names (EdEddnEddyrockz and EDEDDNEDDYROX) also refer to an interest in said show. User:EDEDDNEDDYROX also refers to liking said show and hating vandals.
 * ZUNeLova's name is very similar to Iluvzune's.
 * ZUNeLova also utilizes a signature template similar to previous socks, although this time it's not in the main templatespace.
 * ZUNeLova's user page also talks about loving Ed, Edd n Eddy and hating vandals.
 * The two accounts were created within six minutes of each other.
 * ZUNeLova reverted Iluvzune's aforementioned edits to List of Adventure Time episodes twice in a strange attempt to act like a different person. ZUNeLova then left a message on Talk:List of Adventure Time episodes suggesting that Iluvzune is a clone of Ruin Cireela.

 * 66.30.105.234 made a comment on Talk:List of Adventure Time episodes indirectly suggesting that content removed during reversion of one of ZUNeLova's edits be reintroduced into the main article.
 * 66.30.105.234 is listed on ZUNeLova's talk page as an IP that is "[allowed] to edit [his] user page."
 * Even better, solid evidence:.
 * This IP was also previously investigated and blocked for being a sock.

Registered accounts indefinitely blocked and tagged, IP blocked (AO) 3 months. –MuZemike 03:16, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

Ruin Cireela was blocked for disruptive editing on 20 May, then requested to be unblocked three times during May and June. All requests were declined. Other suspected socks were blocked on 19 June.

On 1 July, Not cool man WINOX created an account and began editing List of Adventure Time episodes and its talk page, the pages Ruin Cireela had been blocked for disruptively editing. Not cool man WINOX has edited those pages about a dozen times in ways that some editors of that page appear to deem disruptive. The other pages that Not cool man WINOX has edited are his/her user page and other lists of cartoon episodes, a pattern of editing similar to Ruin Cireela. Cnilep (talk) 23:41, 25 July 2010 (UTC)

I would like to add that Sites2Sea (who is already a suspected sockpuppet of Ruin Cireela) and Not cool man WINOX made their first contributions to Wikipedia within three minutes of each other. With the exception of a user page edit by Not cool man WINOX, both accounts spent their first five days exclusively editing the List of Adventure Time episodes article. Seeing as Sites2Sea is already a suspected sock, I see no reason why Not cool man WINOX should be exempt from the same treatment. Nicklegends (talk) 04:37, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

 * Blocked and tagged. The sock group is fixated with the same article, and the same facets of that article and there are other indicators of connection: using username templates, timing of edits, promoting Microsoft products on userpage. extransit (talk) 04:37, 26 July 2010 (UTC)
