Evidence

I blocked User:Hundredalexander as an obvious sock of banned User:98E. 98E always abuses the unblock template, so I thought I'd give evidence here as a possible reference for admins reviewing the block. The dot points state their editing patterns.

  • Hundredalexander only has about 80 edits, and already the common articles edited include:
  • Requesting image edits on semi-protected pages: [1],[2]
  • 98E often uncapitalised the "l" in "like", citing the MoS.[6], [7] Hundredalexander added "like" as a word to uncapitalise in the naming conventions.[8] (That uncapitalisation is a move I usually do; I think he got that idea from my contribs).
  • Both always put the current article name on images.[9], [10]
  • Like Rappingwonders (talk · contribs) (a sock of 98E), Hundredalexander is familiar with fair-use rationales in his earliest edits. When giving edit summaries, both frequently start with a capital letter and end with a full stop.

98E has a long history of impersonation (and copyright violations), claiming to be everything from a 10 year old boy,[11] Trey Parker,[12] a 37 year old man,[13] a 20 year old guy,[14] and now an 11 year old boy.[15] Spellcast (talk) 23:49, 16 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

98E and Hundredalexander say they broadcast themselves on YouTube.[16], [17] Hundredalexander even made a YouTube video in response to his block. This seems to prove he really is 11 years old. If that's the case, then this description from User:Replay7's userpage (a sock of 98E) in 2007 (where he claims to be a 10 year old named Alex) could be true. Also note that Replay7 uploaded Image:SBob.JPG, which looks like a picture drawn by a young child. Spellcast (talk) 02:29, 17 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Conclusions

Already blocked, it doesn't get more convincing than this, when based on editing and behavior. — Rlevse • Talk • 03:39, 17 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
