Since at least 12 Dec,, USN1F has been pushing for a format against citation and consensus. He was reverted quickly, and shortly undoes reversion. Although a brief content problem arises about whether or not Hulk and Incredible Hulk should be a franchise or separate single films, no other editor contends that the two Punisher films are a series, nor that spiderman 4 belongs on the template. Discussion on relevant talk pages sorts the Hulk content out further.
 * Evidence

On Jan 1,, , , , Universal Studios Number 1 Fan (USN1F) makes a series of edits against citation. Two minutes later, the IP appears, supporting USN1F.

The page history for the last two days shows the rest. USN1F reverts again, and then the IP shows up.

Proof of the relatedness of the two is seen in the talk page of User:Tijuana Brass. On that Page's [history], you can see USN1F coming in to clean up his earlier IP edits, seen here.

As USN1F has been warned about his edits to the template, and knows that his edits aren't welcome, it's clear he's trying to circumvent the problem by logging out, supporting himself, and logging back in. ThuranX (talk) 23:15, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

The editor has come to my User page to confess and apologize, see this diff. I personally am satisfied with this confession. In light of Tijuana Brass' comments, I'll reverse my acceptance for after the findings of fact. If penalties of block are needed, I would support a short one for reinforcement. After that, I may be willing to adopt the editor for a 90 day period, to help him learn how best to edit here, conditional to the findings of fact. ThuranX (talk) 00:00, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

The user has since decided to make a conflict instead of solve one. First some sort of acceptance of wikipedia's standards, and indication he might have read part of the articles in question. Then the IP comes at me with harrassment accusations, only for USN1F to immediately return to correct formatting on the comment. As such, I am no longer willing to mentor this person, and have slashed that out above. I request a ban on both the account and a one year block on the IP, allowing time for the editor to mature and prevent his continued vandalism of pages, his refusal to listen, and his attitude to attack others from continuing. ThuranX (talk) 01:14, 6 January 2008 (UTC) Following his accusations, he decided to really ramp up the trouble, with this sort of nonsense, which I immediately reverted.

 * I posted a case confession on User: ThuranX's Talk Page. Please take notice of it.--Universal Studios Number 1 Fan (talk) 00:00, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
 * This user also has very similar edit patterns to User:5VH9, who caused some problems at Disaster!: A Major Motion Picture Ride...Starring You! (a Universal Studios-related article) and elsewhere. Also see User:B5JH, same deal. The first one was blocked due to growing disruption, the second hasn't made any new edits for a while. I can post diffs if requested, don't care to spend the time doing so right now. If he can settle on one account and stop causing problems, great. Tijuana Brass (talk) 00:38, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Admitted socking, also disruption. Can't block IPs a year. Two named socks blocked indef. IP and master for 2 weeks, hope master account reforms. Tagged all. Informed master of the results. — Rlevse  •  Talk  • 16:04, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
