112.150 made posts at Talk:Book of Revelation and Talk:Solomon that Themainman69 signed right after (Talk:Solomon, Talk:Book of Revelation), posts that advocated the view that an offhand comment in the Book of Kings about Solomon receiving several hundred talents is the Number of the beast in Revelation, and so Israel is the Beast or something. 76.64 added the exact same idea at Number of the Beast multiple times, claiming that there's "a clear pattern here." Themainman69 was an antisemite (actively misspelling the word "Jew", claiming Einstein stole everything from German scientists, accusing an atheist user of being a "religious nut" and otherwise ragging him because he's ethnically Jewish), while 76.64 is a bit obsessed with a company being owned by a Jewish family, has cited neo-Nazi David Duke's youtube channel.

76.64 was pushing for a particular POV at Talk:Reddit, in a thread started as Gigaus. 76.70 continued edit warring on behalf of this idea, admits to having and using proxies and IP hopping, and accused an ethnically Jewish user of being a racist by merit of reverting an edit of his. 64.229 is also obsessed with the same -25 karma Reddit issue as the other IPs, seems to think the US state department has something to do with this (I've yet to run across a neo-Nazi that wasn't also a conspiracy theorist), and made a bunch of edits that I cannot provide diffs of because they were revdeled for attempting to out an editor, not out of character given his incivil behavior toward ethnically Jewish editors.

While this is an open-and-WP:DUCK case (at least to my eyes), and I'm aware that he's IP hopping, a CU would be nice to spot potential sleepers (as his IP behavior is a good indication that they are not going to be clean start accounts), and the whole case is here to keep track of this guy.

''Accused parties may also comment/discuss in this section below. See Defending yourself against claims.'' I am the one who made the reddit wiki and 666 edits. however, i am not the same person above. this is a HUGE ip range in toronto, canada. bell canada. this is a witch hunt. 76.64.45.85 (talk) 20:30, 30 July 2014 (UTC)


 * And yet you continued with Themainman69's assertions that 666 relates to Solomon as being 'obvious' and 'undeniable', and has made accusations of "Israeli shills" being on the site, believing me to be one of them. You're obviously the same neo-Nazi.  Ian.thomson (talk) 20:31, 30 July 2014 (UTC)


 * wait, what? so now you're calling me neo-nazi, but my comment describing you as an israeli shill is edited out? what sort of propaganda is this? and no, i'm not you fabled ghost. I don't have a named wiki account. your account names have been noted for further arbitration. 76.70.42.97 (talk) 20:38, 30 July 2014 (UTC)
 * You cited David Duke, and you think accusing someone of being an Israeli shill is an appropriate response. No one on Earth is stupid enough to believe that you're not the same user.  Ian.thomson (talk) 20:46, 30 July 2014 (UTC)

 * - Gigaus is, . Also, your case is going to have to be for either 122.150.138.169 or the rest of the IPs. None of them are direct proxies, and you can't live in Australia and Canada at the same time. -- DQ   (ʞlɐʇ)  20:50, 30 July 2014 (UTC)
 * All IPs and named account's edits are stale...closing for now.

Both users advocate an antisemitic canard that the Seal of Solomon is the Number of the Beast (Themainman69, Sellingstuff), and claim that Jews were a recently invented ethnicity (Themainman69, Sellingstuff). Both accounts are obsessed with anyone being of Jewish ethnicity, as if that disqualifies someone from holding any other religious belief (Themainman69 1 and 2, Sellingstuff 1 and 2). Both intentionally decapitalize the words "Jew" and "Judaism" (Themainman69, Sellingstuff). Ian.thomson (talk) 02:12, 20 August 2015 (UTC)

''Accused parties may also comment/discuss in this section below. See Defending yourself against claims.''

I categorically deny i am related to that other user. Based on evidence and belief Ian Thomson is attacking anyone who points out Solomon is the 666 as can be seen on the number of the beast talk page. Sellingstuff (talk) 02:17, 20 August 2015 (UTC)
 * 1) You've provided no evidence for your accusations, which is against site policy.
 * 2) Even if you had provided evidence, that still does nothing to disprove or explain the identical behavior between you and your older account. Ian.thomson (talk) 02:28, 20 August 2015 (UTC)

 * - to compare the two. Evidence is provided above.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  21:18, 20 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I don't have anything to compare the account to as everything else is stale. Any action will have to be based upon behavior. Mike V • Talk 16:14, 21 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Oh, sorry, it's August 2014.  Vanjagenije   (talk)  16:33, 21 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Indeffing sock and closing.
