User TyrusThomas4lyf was been blocked indefinitely in May, 2007 for repeated personal attacks and edit warring, after numerous warnings and attempts to mediate. For a summary of this user's past behavior, see the RFC and his talk page User talk:TyrusThomas4lyf. This same user has also edited under the aliases IlliniPride and 68.253.206.119 in the past, as noted at (see section "Problematic edits by IlliniPride / 68.253.206.119 / TyrusThomas4lyf"). Since his block, he has repeatedly attempted to subvert the block as demonstrated in Suspected sock puppets/TyrusThomas4lyf, Suspected sock puppets/TyrusThomas4lyf (2nd), Suspected sock puppets/TyrusThomas4lyf (3rd), Suspected sock puppets/TyrusThomas4lyf (4th), and Suspected sock puppets/TyrusThomas4lyf (5th).

This time, he has used the IP address 75.34.26.137. Evidence that 75.34.26.137 is a sock-puppet for TyrusThomas4lyf include not only this user's editing of the same selection of articles (see e.g., , , and ), but also the introduction of the same edits. Some examples include the following:


 * Only person to object to Baylor's inclusion on List of National Basketball Association top individual scoring season averages: and  (both from TyrusThomas4lyf),   (from sock-puppet 75.34.18.170),  from current sock-puppet candidate 75.34.26.137, and  from current sock-puppet candidate 75.32.38.112.
 * Only person to insist upon insertion of starting center trivia in List of National Basketball Association players with 60 or more points in a game: (from TyrusThomas4lyf),  (from sock-puppet 75.34.18.170),  from current sock-puppet candidate 75.34.26.137, and  from current sock-puppet candidate 75.32.38.112.
 * Removal of the very same sourced 76ers information: (from 68.253.206.119 -- a known alias for User talk:TyrusThomas4lyf),  (from Hoopsknowledge -- sock-puppet for TyrusThomas4lyf),   (from sock-puppet 75.34.18.170),  from current sock-puppet candidate 75.34.26.137, and  from current sock-puppet candidate 75.32.38.112.

Prompt action is desired due to the extent of this banned user's current activity.

If more evidence is desired, let me know. It's very easy to procure.


 * Comments

I agree that this is sockpuppetry. Since blocking IPs hasn't been very useful, I've semi-protected the articles instead. That should take care of it. Kafziel Talk 17:23, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
