User:Copperchair
Copperchair is back as. He has made his favorite edit to World War III here], adding "future" and removing the Cold War template. He removed the Copperchair sock notice from here. He made his favorite edit to Template:War on Terrorism here; compare this with the version of Tony Camonte (Copperchair's last sock) here. He is also well known for removing references to the Iraq War being part of the War on Terrorism; see the latest sock doing this here, here, and here.

Note that Copperchair returned and registered this new name just a couple of days after the two week block expired on 192.10.0.36. See that block here and the creation of the new account here. 190.10.0.36 has also made edits since the lift of the block, and the IP's return was just 13 minutes before the creation of The end is near. 190.10.0.36's edits have been to the same sort of articles as Copperchair and the gang, and he has made the same non-disruptive edits as Copperchair, but has not made disruptive edits since the lift of the block. It looks like 190.10.0.36 is also operated by the banned user. An extended block on the IP might be helpful in preventing Copperchair's return. TomTheHand 13:34, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, I spent all morning chasing him. Despite numerous requests to desist on his talk page, he persisted in modifying the War on Terror template and then removed it from a number of pages. Budgiekiller 12:10, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I recommend that something other than a temporary block be used, this is the 5th time he has returned and its something as simple as his IP block wearing out. Copperchair was banned for a year and a day, in the very least his sock puppets should get banned for the duration of Copperchairs, but taking into consideration all the disruption caused by his frequent use of sock puppets it should probably be extended even further. We probably cant fully keep him away, but the steps that can be taken should be taken. ~ Rangeley ( talk ) 15:48, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
 * That user has been blocked. I think I will bring this to the admins noticeboard for an indef block. Iola k ana • T  20:14, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
