Pretty much a WP:DUCK, a brand-new account with an exclusive interest in the blocked master's Jumbo Hori:. GABgab 01:19, 28 January 2017 (UTC)

Thesuperblackninja and ChiefWahooMcDonalds were created shortly after Anon385385 was blocked and have likewise focused on Japanese wrestling -- particularly the website ProWresBlog, which Rzombie1988 admits to owning and was quite upset that we won't allow links to. I was initially less suspicious of Thesuperblackninja because he doesn't react to any and all messages in a hostile manner as Rzombie1988 did, but he still obviously doesn't want to hear from me for some reason (I blocked Rzombie1988). I'm more certain about ChiefWahooMcDonalds, which leads me to believe that Rzombie1988 is still active. Both Thesuperblackninja and ChiefWahooMcDonalds cite the personal site Puroresu Central in addition to ProWresBlog (and I'd be willing to bet that digging through the blocked accounts' deleted edits would also bring up Puroresu Central, though I haven't done that yet because I just woke up). ChiefWahooMcDonalds claims to be a former contributor and his threats to "not" contribute reflect Rzombie1988's. Ian.thomson (talk) 00:36, 17 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Oh, forgot: CU requested because if these are Rzombie1988, then we're probably gonna have sleepers. Ian.thomson (talk) 00:38, 17 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Compare "ego trip" and "powertrip", "threats" to "leave" on this page with Rzombie1988's, and claims of tyrannical admins on this page with Rzombie's claims of admin abuse. I'm blocking ChiefWahooMcDonalds now on behavioral evidence. Ian.thomson (talk) 01:48, 17 February 2017 (UTC)

 * You misunderstood the phrase "former contributor". That was in reference to me no longer wanting to participate on the site due its deletionist stance. It has since been updated. PuroresuCentral is actually the 3rd or 4th result down on google for Yoshihito Sasaki, hence why I used it. ChiefWahooMcDonalds (talk) 01:09, 17 February 2017 (UTC)
 * (Comments by other users go in this section, hence the section title). In other words, you are not here to contribute to the encyclopedia? Whether it's a reference to previous accounts you're now trying to cover up or an intention of not contributing positively, that's block worthy.  Google search results are somewhat tailored -- what is the third or fourth result for you is not necessary the third or fourth result for someone else.  Also, that has nothing to do with a source's reliability.  Ian.thomson (talk) 01:13, 17 February 2017 (UTC)


 * "Contribute" is open to interpretation. I don't feel most users actually contribute here and I don't feel a lot of the editing and deleting really adds anything to the site. To me, that's not contributing. Contributing to me is adding and only removing things when its clearly trolling or something that didn't have any effort put into it. Any articles with issues can always be fixed to be suitable, but who wants to put work in when you can get something deleted? I'm personally an inclusionist, not a deletionist. I think many things should be on here that are not including Hitomi Tanaka and the articles I marked for deletion that are Ayumi Shinoda and Aki Tomosaki. All 3 deserve to be on here but there is no possible way for them to beat the admins here or to get mainstream media to cover them, regardless of the content. While a lewd code, porn is no different than wrestling, television, acting or sports, it's just something that the mainstream media cannot cover due to its content.


 * I know how wikipedia, or at least the tyrant admins of wikipedia feel about sources. If you don't follow or know anything about a subject, you shouldn't have any involvement in it. CNN was doing articles on Chris Benoit back in the day, and I couldn't think of a place that would be a worse source. Why would I go to a non-wrestling source to hear reporting on wrestling? But whatever, it's bigger than me and no matter what wikipedia does it will never shake its rep as an awful source and as long as people can "own" articles or "delete" articles, it will always be a contest of egos above all else. I know what I'm writing about, it's just a shame wikipedia isn't the place to share it with everyone else.ChiefWahooMcDonalds (talk) 01:26, 17 February 2017 (UTC)

Note also that both the suspected socks created their accounts in the week after Rzombie was blocked, and that Thesuperblackninja recreated Jumbo Hori, a PROD-deleted article originally created by Rzombie. The Big Bad Wolfowitz (aka Hullaballoo). Treated like dirt by many administrators since 2006.   (talk) 14:17, 17 February 2017 (UTC)
