Evidence submitted by Nev1
There's a fairly obvious similarity in editing patterns between Sarumio and the two IPs beginning 87.11…: both have been editing articles about football clubs, removing F.C. from articles without gaining consensus. Here's a typical Sarumio edit, It's pretty minor but is causing disruption over multiple pages, and the following links are samples from the 87.11… IPs:. I'm unaware of the evidence that prompted someone to suggest that Sarumio has also used the last two IPs in that list, but I'm fairly sure about the first two and wouldn't be surprised if more were in use. I think a CU is necessary to find out how many accounts are in use and therefore how many articles are affected. Nev1 (talk) 22:21, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

 * This is not sockpuppetry - I have merely omitted to log in to my own wiki account. I admit to making the edits under other IPs but not on prupose or for any malicious devilish reason. Dudesleeper is insiting on changing Infobox headers - I have been counteracting this which I am so permitted to do. I shall endeavor to make certain that I am logged in as Sarumio in every instance in the future. Please remove the block - it is an innocent mistake on my part!

Sarumio claims he didn't know he wasn't logged in, but when you aren't logged in, you can't undo edits with one click — you have to enter an article's history, find the last "good" version, open the edit page, and save it. You'd think someone who "undoes" edits with regularity would realise that the process is markedly different when you forget to log in.

Plus, I don't get how Sarumio is able to keep tabs on the changes to multiple articles without logging in. Unless he's logged-in in one window and not in the other one, in which he's editing. Either way, I see he reverted Nev1 already. He seems to only include me in his complaints, yet he's reverted the edits of KeithD, who also appears to be trying to preserve the status quo. - Dudesleeper / Talk  02:16, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

There is obvious similarity in editing patterns between AL1983 and PyramidEditor who has been identified as a Sockpuppet of Sarumio. Both AL1983 and PyramidEditor have been editing articles about football leagues / football clubs, removing FC from articles without gaining consensus.

A new user with the same editing habits as PyramidEditor has appeared as AL1983 at 07:49, 9 June 2011, the day after PyramidEditor was closed as a Sockpuppet of Sarumio

ADL1983's edits to English county templates and his edit summaries are very similar to those made by Sarumio in October 2008. Like other sockpuppets of Sarumino he often edits infoboxes in football club articles (removing FC/AFC from clubname ). The username is similar to Sarumio's blocked sockpuppet account User:AL1983.

This account was created one day after User:ADL1983 was blocked and restored one of his edits here without explanation. Same editing pattern - removing FC/AFC from clubname parameter in infoboxes. Barret (talk) 16:31, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

A previous SPI on 31 January 2011 found that Sarumio has used this IP address in the past to evade his block. It mostly edits the same articles as the other sockpuppet accounts (English football articles and English county templates) and has the same editing pattern--repeatedly removing content such as "FC" and "AFC" ) and adding or removing settlements from the templates without explanation.

NL2013's recent edit to Template:Dorset was very similar to edits made by previously identified sockpuppets User:SCFCAran, User:ADL1983  and 195.195.247.142. NL2013 has also recently started to make the same edits to British football club articles removing "FC" and "AFC" from the infobox. Barret (talk) 18:33, 11 December 2012 (UTC)
