Evidence submitted by Michaeldsuarez
I believe that User:Afatatlot is abusing his editing rights by creating multiple accounts, including User:Uberfuzzy the big fat poo and User:Heretodeliveramessage. I also believe that 82.11.177.252 is their IP address. By comparing Special:Contributions/82.11.177.252 and Special:Contributions/Afatatlot, you can that the IP address and the registered account both edited Talk:Allah, articles related to The Elder Scrolls series of games, and articles related to the Kingdom Under Fire series of games.


 * The Elder Scrolls IV: Shivering Isles (Part 1)
 * On February 11, 2010, 82.11.177.252 added a criticism section to The Elder Scrolls IV: Shivering Isles. On February 18, 2010, I reverted 82.11.177.252's revisions, since they used a wiki talk page (editable by anyone) as a source.


 * The Elder Scrolls IV: Shivering Isles (Part 2)
 * On April 1, 2010, 82.11.177.252 returned and restored the criticism section. This time, you used the wiki talk page and a blog as a source. 82.11.177.252 also added a few personal attacks directed at me (view the edit summaries). As seen here, 82.11.177.252 is not a NPOV editor; he really, really hates The Elder Scrolls. I will expand on this in another section.


 * Four minutes after 82.11.177.252 made his last revision on April 1, 2010, User:Uberfuzzy the big fat poo was created. This newly created account replaced the entire page with the following:

Go and play Mass Effect 2 instead of this horrible, terrible, awful, pathetic, bugged, unfinished, abomination. This game is a disgrace to games and it is the worst item created in history, it has brain washed so many weak-willed fools that this game makes hitler the Atheist seem like a saint.


 * What User:Uberfuzzy the big fat poo had stated above is reminiscent to some of 82.11.177.252's edit summaries. Both of them call the game an "abomination", and both of them told readers to play a Bioware game instead.


 * User:Uberfuzzy the big fat poo also left a threat directed towards me on Talk:The Elder Scrolls IV: Shivering Isles:

Just you try to get rid of the link that shows that bethesda made a scam by making this disk, for I and others will be back to see it is always there. --Uberfuzzy the big fat poo (talk) 15:54, 1 April 2010 (UTC)


 * As seen here, User:Uberfuzzy the big fat poo doesn't want 82.11.177.252's criticism of the game removed.


 * The Elder Scrolls IV: Shivering Isles (Part 3)
 * On April 12, 2010, User:Afatatlot was created. User:Afatatlot's first action on Wikipedia was to restore the criticism section and call me a vandal in the edit summary.


 * User talk:82.11.177.252
 * On April 5, 2010, 82.11.177.252 left another personal attack in an edit summary. As a result, I left several warnings on User talk:82.11.177.252. On April 12, 2010, User:Afatatlot removed the warnings and call me a vandal without any justifcation.


 * Kingdom Under Fire II
 * Both users have edited Kingdom Under Fire II. 82.11.177.252 made three revisions on February 11, 2010, and User:Afatatlot made a revision on April 12, 2010.


 * Talk:Allah
 * On February 11, 2010, 82.11.177.252 made a comment concerning God's name. On April 12, 2010, User:Afatatlot also made a comment concerning God's name. A few hours later, 82.11.177.252 then reappeared out of the blue to make a comment. User:NotAnonymous0 then reverted 82.11.177.252's comment. 82.11.177.252 then restored his comment. Three minutes later, User:Afatatlot then made a comment. I believe that User:Afatatlot was logging in and out in order to make it appear as if he were two persons.


 * User talk:Afatatlot
 * On April 13, 2010, I left several warnings for User:Afatatlot. User:Afatatlot removed the warnings later in the day. Four minutes later, the aptly-named User:Heretodeliveramessage was created, and he "delivered a message" calling me a troll and insulting my mother. I'll expand on this in the YouTube section. Although User:Syrthiss blocked User:Heretodeliveramessage, User:Afatatlot believes User:Heretodeliveramessage. Due to the timing, I believe that User:Afatatlot and User:Heretodeliveramessage are the same person.


 * wikiquote:User:Michaeldsuarez
 * On March 6, 2010, an user known as User:Uberfuzzy, vandalized my Wikiquote user page. On March 13, 2010, 82.11.177.252 also vandalized my Wikiquote user page. On April 2, 2010, 82.11.177.252 vandalized my user page for a second time. On April 6, 2010, User:Uberfuzzy, restored and vandalized my user page again.


 * I believe that 82.11.177.252 and 82.11.177.252 are the same person. This shows that 82.11.177.252 is a cross-wiki vandal who has a grudge against me.


 * YouTube
 * Although I don't want to involve an outside site into this investigation, YouTube is deeply connected to this sockpuppeteer. During early Arpil 2010, a troll and his sockpuppets were attacking me on YouTube. I was able to convince Google to suspend most of these accounts, but some of these accounts still remain. Many of these suspended accounts were members of the YouTube group known as Suarezfamilyseries. The remaining accounts (that aren't suspended) are Suarezfamilykilled, TheElderscrolls5, and xXAARmyXx. All three accounts are a part of the YouTube group known as TheAARmyHeadquarters.


 * I would like to direct your attention to Michaeldsuarez (my YouTube account). As you can see, my account isn't suspended. The suspended account that User:Heretodeliveramessage was referring to was an impersonator pretending to be me. I'm the one who convinced Google to suspend the impersonator. I believe that User:Heretodeliveramessage is the YouTube troll attacking me, and I also believe that User:Heretodeliveramessage are the same person.


 * Please read the comments on my YouTube channel. the troll known as TheElderscrolls5 makes reference to User:Afatatlot, so I think that they're one and the same.

This is my evidence. --Michaeldsuarez (talk) 16:51, 13 April 2010 (UTC)


 * Even after being blocked, User:Afatatlot continues to troll me and linking to offensive YouTube accounts. --Michaeldsuarez (talk) 19:59, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

Requested by Michaeldsuarez (talk) 16:51, 13 April 2010 (UTC) I've blocked the sock accounts indef, IP for 55 hours, and the master account for 2 weeks. It's pretty obvious they're all related, but a sweep for sleepers may be a good idea, especially as this may be tied to User:Stopallspam. TN X Man 17:28, 13 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I've also disable the talk page for Afatatlot to prevent further abuse. TN X Man  20:09, 13 April 2010 (UTC)


 * The connection to User:Stopallspam quacks very loudly. However, Category:Suspected Wikipedia sockpuppets of Stopallspam suggests that there may be a rangeblock (or a couple) possible if we're lucky. Accordingly I'm endorsing this request to check if that rangeblock is possible. -- Sh i r ik ( Questions or Comments? ) 20:12, 13 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Moved from WP:Sockpuppet investigations/Afatatlot based on recent evidence. -- Sh i r ik ( Questions or Comments? ) 20:17, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

✅ that the following accounts are the same person: No comment about the IP. Clerks: When closing this case, please contact me on my talk page or on IRC, detailing what actions you've taken on the listed accounts. --Deskana (talk) 03:24, 16 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I have left Tnxman307 a message asking him to take another look at the case, currently pending his "verdict". SpitfireTally-ho! 03:56, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

Please view the archive in order to learn how Afatatlot, Uberfuzzy the big fat poo, Heretodeliveramessage, and 82.11.177.252 were determined to be the same person. This SPI will focus on RaspberryRush, Rapperman124, Messageforyou, and Validlessness. Of these, Validlessness is the most recent, so feel free to skip to the "Beowulf: The Game", "Validlessness" and "Conclusion" sections. The other sections are there in case further explanations are needed.


 * Established patterns


 * As established by the previous SPI, Stopallspam has a habit of:


 * Defacing or POV-pushing in articles related to The Elder Scrolls.
 * Making anti-Atheist or pro-religious comments.


 * What I neglected to discuss in the previous SPI is Stopallspam's homophobic comments and obsession with Beowulf: The Game, but they'll be discussed this time around.


 * User_talk:Solar_Dragon


 * 82.11.177.252 has been identified as one of Stopallspam's IP addresses during the previous SPI. In August 2010, this IP became active again. On August 9, 2010, 82.11.177.252 restored the User:Solar_Dragon's talk page. Stopallspam has a grudge against Solar Dragon on Wikia, and he has impersonated Solar Dragon in the past (see Special:Contributions/TheSolarDragon). 82.11.177.252 then created User:Messageforyou in order to harass Solar Dragon and me. While harassing Solar Dragon, Messageforyou left the following message about defacing Elder-Scrolls-related articles:

Obsession with The King Of The Guild above. An intelligent person would Google his name to see he doesn't have time to troll or impersonate a narcissus twat called Michaeldsaurez. You STILL haven't guessed who I am and it is HILARIOUS! Well be seeing ya around! Block this account if you wish. I can easily change IP address in less than a minute. Also I would check those Elder Scroll articles. Looks like I am not the only one who hates that crap!


 * As stated in the "Established patterns" section above, Stopallspam hates The Elder Scrolls and loves to add his POV to those articles. The next section will discuss the vandalism Stopallspam made to Elder-Scrolls-related articles. His "I am not the only one who hates that crap" line is a reference to his many sockpuppets. "The King Of The Guild" was Stopallspam's account on Wikia and the username Solar Dragon and I knew him by.


 * The Elder Scrolls (Part 1)


 * Prior to August 2010 (January – April 2010), Stopallspam and his sockpuppets were heavily involved in POV-pushing on The Elder Scrolls IV: Shivering Isles article.


 * On August 7, 2010, Stopallspam returned as User:RaspberryRush (he stole the username of a Encyclopedia Dramatica sysop who banned him). RaspberryRush's first action was to restore Stopallspam's POV to the "Shivering Isles" article. RaspberryRush ten proceeded to making homophobic remarks, which eventually resulted in this sockpuppet's ban.


 * On August 2010, User:Rapperman124 appeared and picked up where the RaspberryRush sock left off, but Stopallspam decided to use subtlety this time. He restored RaspberryRush's POV, and sneaked "Reception" sections into various Elder Scroll articles. Once he was completed, Rapperman124 dropped the act and displayed his true anti-Elder-Scrolls colors. Rapperman124 added a link to an anti-Elder-Scrolls Flash video on his user page, and User:Salvio_giuliano removed the link as spam.


 * On August 9, 2010, 82.11.177.252 got himself blocked, which is most likely why Rapperman124 stopped editing at that point. Since Rapperman124 couldn't edit with 82.11.177.252 blocked, I felt that it was pointless starting a SPI at the time. I believe that User:RaspberryRush and User:Rapperman124 are the sockpuppets User:Messageforyou mentioned in his comment to Solar Dragon.


 * Stopallspam on Uncyclopedia


 * Stopallspam also has a presence on Uncyclopedia:


 * Special:Contributions/82.11.177.252 = wikia:uncyclopedia:Special:Contributions/82.11.177.252
 * Special:Contributions/Heretodeliveramessage = wikia:uncyclopedia:Special:Contributions/Heretodeliveramessage
 * Special:Contributions/RaspberryRush = wikia:uncyclopedia:Special:Contributions/RaspberryRush


 * Stopallspam is a lot more open about his hatred towards Atheists and homosexuals on Uncyclopedia.


 * Proxy use


 * On September 26, 2010, Stopallspam used his first confirmed proxy 213.239.192.110. Stopallspam used the 213.239.192.110 proxy to restore the "Criticism" and "Reception" sections on the Elder-Scrolls-related articles.  I removed those sections in the first place since they contained only numbers. Numbers on their own is just trivia, they along offer insignificant insight into what critics were thinking. Numbers should be backed by an analysis or comments from reviewers. Stopallspam refused to add words since adding criticism in words would mean doing work and possibly adding praise from reviewers alongside it.


 * After editing those Elder-Scrolls-related articles, 213.239.192.110 removed Template:Sockpuppet from User:82.11.177.252, and vandalized Fable II. 213.239.192.110 exposed himself as a proxy on User:Stopallspam by bragging about how he used "surf-proxy.de":

http://www.surf-proxy.de/index.php?q=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fable_II I don't think so. He defended Fable II. Why then would he later insult himself and insult the game he liked?


 * 213.239.192.110 was later confirmed as a proxy and banned.


 * On September 28, 2010, Stopallspam returned using the 77.68.106.13 proxy. Once again, he restore the "Reception" section to An Elder Scrolls Legend: Battlespire. On October 12, 2010, 77.68.106.13 was confirmed as a proxy and banned.


 * Beowulf: The Game


 * I would like to take this time to discuss Stopallspam's obsession with Beowulf: The Game. Most gamers (myself included) know that games based on movies (with the exception of a few Star Wars games) are generally poor in quality, yet Stopallspam is one of the few users who loves this game. Beowulf's lack of fans is apparent by the current briefness of the article. Stopallspam first edited the "Beowulf: The Game" article anonymously as 86.21.153.45. One of 86.21.153.45's edit summaries looked like the following:

Seriously, these racist people need to grow up, Just because this game is better than crap Oblivion doesn't mean they should vandel its page.


 * This comment about The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion is a telltale sign that this is Stopallspam, plus 86.21.153.45 was the first IP address Stopallspam used to push his POV on the The Elder Scrolls IV: Shivering Isles article.


 * Stopallspam also edited "Beowulf: The Game" anonymously as 82.11.177.252. As I've said before, Beowulf has few fans, so it's reasonable to conclude that a sockpuppet editing that article has a high probability of being be Stopallspam.


 * Validlessness
 * On January 3, 2011, Stopallspam returned as User:Validlessness. Validlessness's first action as a "new user" was to revert me. This first edit was the first clear sign that Validlessness may be a Stopallspam wishing to final the fight. Validlessness then expanded the Beowulf: The Game article. His interest in Beowulf rung bells, but I didn't have enough evidence to firmly conclude that Validlessness was Stopallspam.


 * I then discovered that the "Features" section Validlessness added was copied word-for-word from uk.games.ign.com, so I marked the addition as a copyright violation. This angered Validlessness enough to make him lower his guard and make one of Stopallspam's trademark anti-Atheist edit summaries:

Ha ha ha ha. An eye for an eye only makes the whole world blind. Unreligious people don't know this.


 * The revisions to Elder-Scrolls-related articles, the interest in Beowulf, and the anti-Atheist comment are evidence that Validlessness is really another one of Stopallspam's sockpuppets.


 * Conclusion


 * As explained above, Validlessness and Stopallspam are the same person. In the end, Validlessness couldn't contain his hatred of Atheists, and I doubt that he could integrate into the Wikipedia community due to inability to keep his opinions and hatred to himself. 82.11.177.252 is still blocked, so either Stopallspam is using a proxy, his IP address changed, or he's editing from a different location. A CheckUser could verify whether Validlessness is using a proxy. The other accounts are too old to preform a CheckUser on, unfortunately. Whatever the case, I believe that Validlessness is an obvious block-evading sockpuppet who should be blocked per WP:DUCK.

 * is not using proxies (or using other accounts that I can see) and the other named accounts are . Behavior will be the determining factor here. TN X Man  15:17, 5 January 2011 (UTC)
 * As I've explained before, Validlessness behaves similarly to Stopallspam and his sockpuppets. The "Unreligious people" comment is a dead giveaway. Without the "Validlessness = Stopallspam" explanation, that "Unreligious" comment is extremely random and out of place, and Stopallspam has a long history of attacking Atheists as I explained above. I also made The Elder Scrolls and Beowulf: The Game connections between the Validlessness and Stopallspam's socks clear above. If Validlessness isn't Stopallspam, then why did he make an "Unreligious people" comment on a video game article? --Michaeldsuarez (talk) 23:13, 5 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Based on behavioral evidence, I've blocked and tagged Validlessness. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 13:20, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
