 * Evidence
 * This user has engaged in a broad pattern of vandalism intended to add himself, "Troy Rodriguez". to wikipedia. This includes the alias "Lil' King", ostensibly a rapper, and a made-up movies, "The Sin" and "Route 666". All of the users and IP above have been variously used to create the following articles:
 * Troy Rodriguez (actor, rapper) (afd)
 * Route 666 (Horror Film) (afd)
 * The Kingz Of Nature
 * To Serve & Collect The Way I Was
 * Smoking Outside
 * The Best King Music Group
 * Lil' King discography
 * On Them Dubbs
 * Recognize Kingz


 * The user has also tried to insert himself into multiple other articles, below, to make Lil' King look legit. Examples:
 * Miley Cyrus (by Troyrodriguez361)
 * Brittany Snow (by Scriptwriter2009)
 * Z-Ro (by Screenwriter09)
 * Dolly Parton (by Rawsmack2009)
 * Child singer (by 24.155.200.56)


 * That last entry suggests the editor was born in 1994, making him 14. Any way this can be reported to his parents?


 * This user has shown a persistent pattern of prolific vandalism. Not just the articles, but the subtle other edits (which are often not reverted immediately) to make his own web of articles look legitimate. He's consistently tried to avoid blocks by creating sockpuppets and has boasted about his ability to do so (example). Attempts to CSD these articles are thwarted, so we've had to go through three AFD discussions (two linked above, the latest is here.
 * Some of these sockpuppets have already been banned indefinitely. justinfr (talk) 13:40, 22 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Comments

That the suspected sockpuppets are operated by the sock master. I have blocked Girlsalltheway2009 and Livinglifetoothefullest indefinitely as socks of Troyrodriguez361. This was considering one of the blocked socks(Scriptwriter2009) said they'd be back in four days and were back four days later with the two latest socks which created the latest batch of articles which have now been deleted per the latest Afd. Also because Troyrodriguez361 reasoning to creating the articles was because it was "for my client" which was also a term Girlsalltheway2009 used in protesting the deletion of the more recent articles. Currently all of the known accounts have been indef blocked for sockpuppetry. However, I have taken no action on the IP addresses considering both no longer actively editing. However I will keep an eye on the addresses' contribs over the next days and if activity increases then the appropriate action will be taken. AngelOfSadness talk  18:18, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
