 * Evidence

I'm pretty sure user Crazyaboulost is using a sockpuppet to keep with his violations and edit warrings in Wikipedia, after getting blocked for 1 week.

These IP adresses (201.1.197.173 and 201.1.65.154) have the same origin of this Crazyaboulost blocked IP (201.10.36.228)

The user name Crazyaboulost was blocked after violations in the article Carmen Miranda. After getting blocked, he used this IP 201.10.36.228to leave a message in the Incident page. Then, somebody also blocked his IP.

Now, he's using this other other IP (201.1.197.173), that has obviously the same origin of the other he used after getting blocked, to keep creating edit warrings in articles.

The "new" IP did a personal attack to me in the article Afro-Brazilian: "Dont be fool!", he wrote.

Actually, in the article Afro-Brazilian, IP 201.1.197.173 reverted exactly to the same revision Crazyaboulost reverted before being blocked:


 * Crazyaboulost reversion:
 * 201.1.197.173 reversion:
 * 201.1.65.154 reversion:

"They" also use the same violant way of speaking:


 * Crazyaboulost sentence: "learn english..."
 * 201.1.197.173 sentence: "Data was wrongly copied from source. Check and learn to work with figures"

Changes in article Italian Brazilian have the same intentions:


 * 200.171.48.189 change:
 * 201.1.197.173 change:

All these evidences show Crazyaboulost is using a sockppupet after his user name and his other IP were blocked. Opinoso (talk) 02:23, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Apparently, the contribs are exactly the same, and the subjects tha they have contribed to are the same, so I deem them socks. Rory the Slitheen (talk) 07:51, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

I have made the following:
 * 201.1.65.154 reversion:


 * This revision was being voted since June without no opposition. User:Opinoso have already approved it (see Talk:Afro-Brazilian and reverted it because someone altered the article "without his consent". Then he started an edit warring with User:Crazyaboutlost that noticed his contradiction. I've made the first alteration and this last one.


 * 201.1.197.173 sentence: "Data was wrongly copied from source. Check and learn to work with figures"


 * User:Opinoso reverted it just because he thought someone "vandalized" his great work. In the altered table, a 4.9 was changed to 9.4, according to data provided by the original source, and other figures were rounded to have the same precision. He did not check, just reverted. The "violent way of speaking" is just a retribution to HIS way of speaking.

I did not check all examples throughly, but I am pretty sure that I have made the above cited alterations and maybe others that I do not remember. They were useful alterations, and User:Opinoso have kept them after a small edit warring (as he likes to do).

I used an anonymmous IP to avoid troble with User:Opinoso. I exposed my decision here (in Portuguese) after an argument that resulted in User:Opinoso blocking for 3 months from the Portuguese Wikipedia (20 voted for and 8 against it) as can be seen here (in Portuguese).

Since then, I am using a new username: User:Zephynelsson Von. Recently I discovered that socketpuppetry is almost a felony, and I am providing the necessary changes in my accounts.

I do not like User:Crazyaboutlost either, but he is not guilty in this case.

I also did this reversion.

User:Opinoso started an edit warring because he wanted a merge tag to stay in the Afro-Brazilian article. He had proposed to merge this article to the Afro-Brazilian Culture article and someone did it. He did not even read the article to realize that those articles were already merged, so the merge tag was removed from the Afro-Brazilian article and the Afro-Brazilian Culture article did not exist anymore. He insisted to place the merge tag again and again in the article and called a vandal anyone that erased it. Eventually, he noticed his mistake and stopped the edit warring. He is a troublemaker and all of his complaints can be also applied to his own behavior.
