These are all the same editor. The first IP admits to being TylerWade 123 here. The second IP admits to being the first IP here. The third IP admits to being Tylerwade123 here.

One IP address (66.207.75.219) geolocates to Waynesboro, Virginia with the other two IPs registered to companies at the same location. If all the sockpuppets have disclosed their identities, I move to close the case, with possible sanctions. Foxy Loxy Pounce! 09:22, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

 * The edits of these IPs are all similar to the suspected pupeeteer, removing multiple official sources while claiming them either inaccurate, unreliable or the most incorrect term: fansite. And adding one single source from an actual fansite claiming it is more reliable.  The user have multiple issues in logical thinking and editing.  All of the edits are purely from the user's love or hate of the character and by removing the official sources, adding in his/her own point of view to distort the article to his/her own liking.  Yes, the admin below is correct, the case cannot be closed since the user is smart enough to at least change computers to evade blocks(but obviously not using open proxies, thank goodness.) but not smart enough to figure out that his/her actions are very clearly vandalism and wikipedia do record all of his/her editing history.

 * wow, Foxy, lets not be formal with "Move to close" :P. Thanks for the chuckle though. That aside there is not *that* much we can do here, as I can't be positive that the listed IPs are static. And it looks like we are talking about 2 different ranges anyway. Right now the best I can think of is just block for 31 hours as you see them and report them here. If it gets bad enough I'll do rangeblocks but not before asking a checkuser for collateral damage checks. ——  nix eagle email me 19:48, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

Tylerwade123 is a self-admitted sockpuppeteer. User Rebelprince started editing 4 days after Tylerwade123 was indefinitely blocked. Rebelprince has recently created a new category and started spamming it across some of the same articles Tylerwade has shown an interest in and added a talk page comment engages in heavy praise of Tylerwade123. Rebelprince has also re-added the same list of categories (plus his new category) that Tylerwade admitted he had repeatedly tried to add to the  Lelouch_Lamperouge article.

It seems highly improbable that a different user would immediately begin adding the same categories added by another user, and at the same time engage in such effusive praise of said user. In my opinion, Rebelprince is at the very least a Tylerwade123 meatpuppet. Blueboy96 16:06, 14 March 2009 (UTC)
