*[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Basketball_fan24111&oldid=154269858 This] clearly shows that this user is 64.229.16.238: he picked up an autoblock on the IP. The same shows the same IP is ''We hate Iran and India''. It's quite obvious that the edits by the IP are by the same person who is ''We hate Iran and India'', as evidenced by their style: a simple perusal of their short number of edits will confirm as much (e.g., use of all caps and exclamation marks, as well as using the terms ''gay'' and ''fat ass''). However, it seems equally obvious that the IP is the same person as Basketballfan. Basketballfan has edits almost exclusively to articles about basketball players (not surprisingly)... as does the IP. The IP has vandalized [[Yao Ming]], which Basketballfan has edited. Basketballfan has shown a proclivity for poor editing patterns and grammar that seems to be common among young people, with whom vandalism is equally common. What's more, no one has edited from either this IP or either of these accounts before a few days ago, making it highly unlikely it's a shared address. To be honest, I was fairly annoyed that anyone granted this user an unblock at all for the autoblock; I don't think users should be able to get away with vandalizing under other accounts, and then having a good cop account against it (please note baskeballfan handing out "warnings" to users for vandalizing the same article that the IP vandalized).

;Comments |

I spent about fifteen minutes looking at this case. I agree with the sentiment behind The Evil Spartan's report. It is plainly obvious that "We hate Iran and India" is the same as the IP, and it seems ''likely'' that the IP is the same as basketballfan, and that this is not a coincidence of an IP domain - but I cannot be certain enough to recommend an indef-block. Unfortunately, because the suspected IP address is already known, we probably cannot do a checkuser. |

Regarding the comment that the autoblock should not have been lifted: it was not an obvious case of sockpuppetry, and with the volume of unblock requests I think the admins made the right decision. That being said, the request for unblock is the strongest available evidence that basketballfan might have created an indef-blocked sock.
