– This SPI case is open.

Suspected sockpuppets


The two most ardent editors of Brimstone (wrestler), both have been opposed to any substantial changes made to the article. The talk page is filled with complaints about the state of the article and the behavior of the editors, the complaints date back to 2007, however these two accounts have worked in unison to prevent any of these corrections from being made. Currently these two are in an edit war over such changes.[1][2][3]

The sockpuppet was also used for leverage in a 2010 AfD.

Fall of Darkness created the Brimstone and the Borderhounds article in March 2011 (an article which currently has 12 edits in its history), RingWars2007 performed a revert on that article as well.[4][5]

Despite their long mainstay at the article, both accounts have less than 400 edits. That makes it hard to explain the back-to-back edits on Levittown Union Free School District.[6][7]

User:YeLLeY511 is likely the puppetmaster in this case as that user created the Brimstone (wrestler) article and made edits to Hanukkah and Levittown, New York related articles like Fall of Darkness. YeLLeY511 was briefly banned in 2007 for being a "spam-only account. dozens of spam images. apparently a paid promoter for a wrestler named 'brimstone'") However YeLLeY511 has not made an edit in 4 years.LM2000 (talk) 00:08, 15 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
