VinceB was banned after being blocked eight times for disruptive sockpuppetry, vandalism, personal attacks, and edit warring. See Community sanction noticeboard/Archive6. He has been evading his ban since then, using sockpuppets (see Category:Wikipedia sockpuppets of VinceB) and editing from dynamic IP addresses of the range 195.56. and 91.120. I have several reasons to believe that Baxter9 is a new sockpuppet of VinceB. Here is the evidence:
 * Evidence
 * 1) Baxter9 was created after a previous sockpuppet (User:Pannonia) was blocked. Baxter9 immediately began where Pannonia ended before his block: removing reference to the Slovak ethnicity in the first sentence of Móric Beňovský. Compare Baxter9's edit, Pannonia's edit, VinceB's edit, and edit of an IP of VinceB's range. That article is a kind of fetish for VinceB.
 * 2) His/her only other significant activity was to change the names of historical counties in Slovakia to their Hungarian names. This is exactly what VinceB (and no one else) used to do.
 * 3) Although he/she is supposedly a newbie, his very first edit was a minor personal attack at a rahter specialized community page: Hungarian Wikipedians' notice board. This is not the usual way how new users start after they discover Wikipedia.
 * 4) A couple of minor points: VinceB was a passionate supporter of the political party Fidesz. Baxter9 has a picture of Fidesz's archenemy with the words "If you see this, kick it!". In addition, both VinceB and Baxter9 overuse ":)" at the end of their comments. Finally, two articles with most contributions from Baxter9 (Móric Beňovský and Anti-Hungarian sentiment)have also received (by coincidence?) a lot of attention from VinceB. In both cases, their POV is the same. Although these minor points cannot prove anything alone, I find them interesting in light of the points 1-3. Tankred 17:39, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
