Since he doesn't seem to usually create socks, I have soft blocked the IP for a month. Poke me if an other IP comes from the same range and I'll see if I can do a rangeblock. -- lucasbfr  talk 22:26, 19 January 2009 (UTC) The Helpful  One  19:11, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

66 seems to Geolocate to Phoenix, Arizona, while 98 to Corona, California. Either the user travels frequently, or is using a proxy of some sort (or, of course, this is not the same person). Intelligent  sium  03:27, 18 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Different geolocations may be deployed, but the consistency in pattern of posts over more than two years now is unmistakable. Every month or so, User:Tfoxworth uses a sockpuppet or new IP to revert edits made by User:DWC_LR, then reverts or deletes factual material from Nugzar Bagration-Gruzinsky, Maximilian von Götzen-Itúrbide and Line of succession to the Russian throne, and articles on related subjects (e.g. Leonida Georgievna, Grand Duchess of Russia, Maria Vladimirovna, Grand Duchess of Russia and Grand Duke George Mikhailovich of Russia (Leonida is mother of Maria, who is mother of George), or articles related to Line of succession to the Georgian throne, e.g. Bagrationi dynasty. Recently, he has also used other sockpuppets, including Aunties Ants, 207.50.146.169, 206.53.144.50 and 217.118.66.79. Monitoring & correcting his vandalism now extends over several years.

 * These defiantly look like Tfoxworth. 66.162.39.129 has been editing Tfoxworth’s old talk page posts. 98.165.71.29 has been removing sockpuppet tags from User:Tfoxworth. It was claimed that User:I vonH and Tfoxworth were married I don’t know if that could explain the two locations? - dwc lr (talk) 13:01, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

CheckUser requests
Requested by MuZemike 03:00, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

– Tfoxworth, as well as all other socks of this user (except the two just reported here, of course), are for CheckUser purposes. This will have to be determined by behavioral evidence alone. MuZemike 08:48, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

Conclusions
66.162.39.129 blocked 2 weeks. The other IP hasn't edited in a week, so there's use blocking that one. MuZemike 01:10, 19 December 2009 (UTC)

 * Suspected sockpuppets

Tfoxworth is on another edit raid. This happens every other day or so and it's the exact same edits all the time. Attempts to communicate with this editor have proven fruitless for numerous editors (including me). SQGibbon (talk) 07:18, 14 March 2010 (UTC)

Indefinitely banned User:Tfoxworth is back, vandalizing the same royalty-related articles as before and stalking the same contributors and/or admins as before -- those who have previously reported or corrected his vandalism. FactStraight (talk) 00:44, 28 July 2011 (UTC)

 * Tfoxworth is currently not registered. Elockid  ( Talk ) 03:06, 28 July 2011 (UTC)
 * This case was opened as TFoxworth. That account doesn't exist; Tfoxworth does, however. I've moved the case to reflect that. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 03:32, 28 July 2011 (UTC)

12.28.236.6 reblocked 1 week. 184.98.204.157 is a little stale, so I'm not going to block that yet. If the other IP resumes editing, please re-report. Elockid  ( Talk ) 03:45, 28 July 2011 (UTC)
