Contributions are focused on video game articles and show a pattern of removing/altering non-North American information, such as changing European release dates or box shots. He seems to use multiple accounts, and seems to be following A Link to the Past around with the intention of reverting pro-EU edits on his part. Could an administrator look at the following contributions and consider blocking these accounts?:
 * Evidence

Here are some examples of American bias:
 * King of America removes Japanese box art (not necessarily saying that it's wrong, but he should discuss before removing an image like that)
 * King of America moves official title to English fan name
 * King of America removes the Japanese box art
 * King of America removes Japanese dates
 * 70.149.41.166 removes iQue as a console
 * 65.11.113.254 changes dates based on IGN dates in a dispute over which region gets priority
 * 65.11.113.254 removes the JP box art
 * 70.149.41.227 reverts image change (my first interaction with the user). Other IPs may be involved, but I can't show a connection based on their edit histories

The following are done to show connection through edit history.


 * Worms: Open Warfare 2 edits: -  -.


 * Metroid Prime Hunters edits: -


 * Picross DS edits: -  -  -  -


 * Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Justice for All edits: -


 * Sonic Rush Adventure edits: -  -

Unrelated articles which possibly show similar editing interests (between most of them for the most part):


 * Wrestling articles (Vince McHamon, WWE 08 video game)
 * Virtual Console-related articles
 * 200X in video gaming
 * List of Nintendo DS games
 * List of Wii games
 * Nickelodeon-related articles (Danny Phantom, Catscratch, Fairly OddParents)
 * Wikipedia's Sandbox
 * Touch! Generations-related articles

Personality:


 * Often swears
 * Blanks pages (especially sandbox)
 * Rude tone
 * Anti-IGN tone
 * Almost every single user/IP knows how to use reversion software

The presence of User:74.225.211.177 and all the circumstances described above may point towards these accounts/IPs all being sockpuppets of User:Super World Champions, a previous sockpuppeteer who has been banned. Super World Champions and his socks (this 74.225.211.177, as well as User:Da D00d Uploader and User:UltraNintendoEntertainmentSystem) showed a very similar pattern (see Contributions): Kariteh 08:26, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Comments
 * focus on video games and release dates
 * on wrestling games articles
 * on Danny Phantom and the Fairly OddParents
 * on Nintendo DS and Wii related articles
 * and expressed an anti-IGN tone regarding release dates


 * Conclusions

Both named accounts are clearly socks of User:Super World Champions, and have been blocked indefinitely. I have no doubt that the IPs listed were used by the same user as well, but appear to be highly dynamic, so blocking them would likely be ineffective and cause collateral damage.
