This user has used sockpuppets before in the past to make controversial edits, circumvent policy, and evade 3RR blocks. The user has done so again, although I'm bringing it here to make things clear in case the issue escalates or a point of reference is needed in the future. The article in question is Final Fantasy XII, which is in the midst of a FA push.

The content in question is an unsourced paragraph rehashing something mentioned below. The user keeps reintroducing the material under these accounts ([1], [2], [3], [4], and [5]. The last one is especially interesting, because the "source" added was just a footnoted part of the text (the OR part, to boot, but that's beside the point). Moreover, the last two clearly defined the removal of the information as "POV", despite the fact that it was unsourced and already mentioned in the paragraph below. Besides the Kara account, the Dingo account made several edits last year, to a controversial "edit war" thread. — Deckiller 07:29, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Kara Umi made a very POV edit to Christianity, with spelling mistakes.[6] It was reverted, and s/he reverted back with "It isent POV . . . pure and to the point criticism . . " (note the spelling of "isn't") in the edit summary.[7]

It was reverted again, and 82.101.143.154 reverted back with an edit summary that, like many of Kara's edit summaries, shows a lack of understanding of apostrophes[8] and uses "iam" for "I am". For an example of Kara doing that, see these two edit summaries.

It was reverted again, and 82.101.143.154 reverted with "pure and to the point criticism" in the edit summary[9], which Kara had used earlier.

I warned the IP here about 3RR, and said that if that IP was Kara Umi, it was not allowed to split reverts between username and IP. S/he replied "I dident make the additions Kara did."[10] (Compare spelling of "dident" with "isent" used by Kara.) I also left a message on Kara's talk page, referring him/her to my post on the IP talk page.[11]

S/he then reverted again — the fourth revert, if I'm correct in my belief that it's the same person.[12]

The IP was also warned by the administrator Tom harrison,[13] and claimed to be familiar with the rule.[14]

The IP has also been editing Islam, which Kara edits, and Saladin which is an article that would be of interest to those interested in Islam. Thank you. AnnH ♫ 13:13, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

Declined This seems to be fairly obvious 3RR evasion and can be treated as such. Mackensen (talk) 03:06, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
