Darkest-Link33 has been engaged in an edit war with several other editors in an attempt to add material despite the general dissent of other editors. The user made several reverts to the List of characters in The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. The edits typically insinuated that two character pertaining to the article were involved in an relationship; basing the claim on either speculation or YouTube. Examples:
 * Evidence


 * 1)
 * 2)
 * 3)
 * 4)

After Darkest-Link33 was banned, another account, Thetriforcehero, surfaced. The user has re-added the exact same, if not similar content to the article, as well as engaged in edit-wars with other editors before being temp banned for violating 3RR. (examples, as taken from 3RR Incident Board)

Furthermore, (while not a strong argument), all three users are prone to using similar styles of grammar and spelling. GoldenWolfy has yet to edit the actual article, though has left various comments that support my previous statement on the article's talk page.

It is also worth mention that similar disrupted edits have been caused by Anons, See latter portion of history, all of which I have confirmed (according to whois.net) share the same ISP. GoldenWolfy, has [previously posted under 69.238.196.8, which shares the same ISP as the aforementioned IP addresses.

First of ty for the accusation because u katrieh and kryten are all the same person its obvious because i notice u all appear at different times, One day its Kryten, GASP he dissapears luckily for him his buddy katrieh was here and wait whats this katriehs gone? Oh here his buddy shadowjester magicicly pops up. Its obvious your not all around at the same time because your using different computers, Yet the accused and I ussually argue around the same point and yet we all have different IPs —Preceding unsigned comment added by GoldenWolfy (talk • contribs) 14:30, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Anyone can easily change their IP; whois.net can determine ISPs, which cannot be changed. The claim that Kariteh, user:KrytenKoro‎, and I are all the same person is absurd - using the same logic I could further incriminate you for sock-puppetry based on the fact that none of the accused users have ever appeared at the same time, and only began appearing after one account was blocked. --  ShadowJester07  ►Talk  14:49, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

If your going to lie at the very least make it believable. The only way i could change my IP is if i edited it in wikipedia which could easily be researched on history otherwise its impossible to change ones IPGoldenWolfy (talk) 17:18, 31 May 2008 (UTC)Tera Not much i can add at this point lol ill just let u 2 work it out —Preceding unsigned comment added by Thetriforcehero (talk • contribs) 23:33, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

Comment from Shalom: Thetriforcehero (TF), Darkest-Link33 (DL) and GoldenWolfy (GW) are definitely the same. In addition to the circumstantial evidence based on participating on the same side of a localized dispute, they edited twice within minutes of one other.

These users write with the same immature tone. If this is the same person, as I strongly suspect, then that person has been blocked three times for edit warring and has lied to administrators by claiming to stop edit warring, then edit warring under a sock puppet three minutes later. The extremely inappropriate accusation against the user who reported this case does not help convince me of this user's understanding of what he has done wrong. I'm willing to jump a few steps in the dispute resolution process and call for an indefinite ban of this user, but I'll request checkuser to make sure I've got the facts right.
