 * Evidence
 * User:NumberOneDisturbedFan nominated "Stairway to Heaven" for deletion on 15th December 2008, here: . User:74.163.251.218 was responsible for placing the AfD tag on the article page . A few days later User:70.146.86.92 added a template tag to the article's Talk page on the 17th December 2008

An IP Geolocate search indicated both User:74.163.251.218 and User:70.146.86.92 are using a service located in Boca Raton, Florida (bellsouth.net)

An edit history check of both User:74.163.251.218, and User:70.146.86.92 indicated they edited articles namely Scream (Avenged Sevenfold song) and Life on Display

I then checked the edit history of Scream (Avenged Sevenfold song) and noted that User:DisturbedNerd999 had edited in the same article a number of times. Furthermore this is what was written on their user page:

"I may never have a good user page. Oh well, I don't really care. My favorite band is Disturbed if anyone is interested"

Furthermore the user page DisturbedNerd999 had been edited from this account User:65.8.237.87 and. An IP check indicates that this account too is using the same service from Boca Raton, Florida. I then noticed that User:DisturbedNerd999 had edited in the same pages which all three suspect accounts had edited in (see below).

Scream (Avenged Sevenfold song)

N.B. DisturbedNerd999 reverted the disambiguation page for Away from Me and User:70.146.86.92 modified the merge tag related to that same Away from Me article.

User:74.163.253.235 also made a death threat against Wikipedia here:



and this behaviour links User:74.163.253.235 to User:NumberOneDisturbedFan Note in the edit history is the same invective directed at Serj Tankian between both accounts. See. This history also shows editing in the Scream (Avenged Sevenfold song) article, again also edited by User:DisturbedNerd999.

User:DisturbedNerd999 also nominated the article Wake Up (Rage Against the Machine song) for deletion. The account User:65.8.237.87 also edited the same nomination here. That account is using a service located in Boca Raton, the same one used by the previous mentioned IPs.

It is my contention that the accounts User:NumberOneDisturbedFan and the subsequent anonymous IP edits were created to hide behind a bad faith disruptive nomination of "Stairway to Heaven" and the previous nomination of "Wake Up (Rage Against the Machine song)", the foul-mouth vandalism left on the System of a Down and Serj Tankian articles, and the death threat against Wikipedia.


 * Comments
 * Please remember to notify all accounts listed as possibly linked to the sock puppetry in question (instructions).
 * You are right. I have been using an alternative account to be disruptive to the Wikipedia community. I don't see why having such a small user page is a problem if I never had any interest in making it big, but I do like the bands Disturbed and Avenged Sevenfold, which is why I am responsible for creating the page for Scream and editing it several times. About the account NumberOneDisturbedFan, I did use that too to be disruptive, and am very sorry to have done that. Altogether, I am full-heartedly sorry for all of the trouble that I have caused, and I am regretting it deeply. As a suggestion for my punishment, you can permanantly block NumberOneDisturbedFan and other IPs I've used, and then block this account (DisturbedNerd999) for up to six months. Once again, I am sorry for all of the trouble that I have done and wish to be able to continue editing here without causing any further trouble. I don't blame you if you want to permanantly ban all accounts or IPs I've used, I deserve it. Sorry if this is long, but I just want to express my feelings of sorrow. If I become permanantly blocked from this account, I will never edit this encyclopedia again. Furthermore, if that is the case, I would just like to say goodbye to all of the other editors and admins on here that I have come to get along with (at least on this account), including Grutness who introduced me. Sorry this had to happen, but I swear on my life, I will change my ways only for the good faith. If this is the last thing that I say here, then goodbye.--DisturbedNerd999 (talk) 01:03, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
