Evidence

TyrusThomas4lyf was blocked in various increments for repeated hostile abuse, vulgarity, personal attacks, and edit warring. See the initial RfC on him here. He did not answer and the rest of the story can be told by reviewing his old talk page, here. After being indefinately banned he has returned and began doing the same things that got him banned in the first place; edit warring, personal attacks, etc. He has returned to the same articles that he has shown extreme biases against and began resuming his disruptive behavior, see the following: diff1, diff2, diff3, and diff4. Here he is identified as a sockpuppet by a user who was involved in past incidences with him as well, here: diff1, diff2, diff3, and diff4. It is exhausting dealing with him (diff and diff2), as he simply refuses to acknolwedge consensus and exhibits extreme ownership behavior. His biases towards prominent players, outside Michael Jordan, is unbelievable. He discourages users from editing on Wikipedia and does not maintain a NPOV on any article. Please review and contact me if you require any further information. Thank you.

Conclusions

Yes, these are pretty clearly socks. The master account has already been indefinitely blocked. I'll block 68.253.216.115 (talk · contribs · WHOIS) for 31 hours as it has been recently used; the other IP hasn't been used for awhile. If multiple IP's are being used to vandalize a specific page, you can go to WP:RFPP to request temporary semi-protection, which will restrict the article to established, named users and lock out IP's. This is sometimes more effective than trying to catalog and block a litany of roving IP's. MastCell ^Talk 01:12, 6 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
