 * The user appears aggressively hostile to consensus and policy and repeatedly makes abusive, belligerent comments. Believes that his or her interpretation is the only correct viewpoint. &#151;Whoville (talk) 00:08, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I have blocked as another obvious sock. seresin | wasn't he just...? 01:03, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

 * I would like to add that Miamiboyzinhere is no longer blocked, he may go back and vandalise the same articles the IP addresses have done. Momusufan (talk) 20:05, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
 * The user continued on 4 March 2008 with repeated reverts at Epcot, Downtown Disney (Florida), Florida International University‎ and Sunset (there may be more). Most of these articles were protected for an extended period due to a rapid-fire edit war amongst editors and the revolving IP addresses; many of the protections were lifted on 3 March 2008, and just as well, the revolving IP addresses returned. The articles have mostly been protected for 1 week, but may be extended. Recently, as experienced with 72.153.219.203, it has become nothing more than vandalism. seicer  &#x007C;  talk  &#x007C;  contribs  23:22, 4 March 2008 (UTC)


 * 74.163.224.123 is spamming the talk page of everyone who ever reverted the "Bay Lake/Orlando Area" edits...'nother sock for the drawer? 19:07, 6 March 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Legotech (talk • contribs)
 * Just added one, User:Finefox771 based on a few pieces of evidence 1) This accounts first action was to create categories (priorly CFDed) based on "Visitor attractions in XXXX" where XXXX is a suburb of Orlando. Also, the user then proceeded to stalk Vegaswikian, who is an admin who has been involved in cleaning up Miamiboyz's mess.  This seemed to quack quite loudly.  --Jayron32. talk . contribs  06:39, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Blocked User:Hydrogen iodide and added to list above. Clearly the same person as Finefox771, who himself was clearly Miamiboyzinhere.  --Jayron32. talk . contribs  17:12, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

All appear to have been dealt with by admins, others are dynamic and blocks were redundant. Case closed. Rudget . 15:47, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
