Editor Interaction Report. I have noticed some recent activity at certain MMA AfDs that appeared suspicious. They have a high cross-over in the few AFDs they have participated in and both are devoutly in the minority of consensus (sitting at 18% and 28% matching consensus outcomes)
There are quite a few more examples and it should be noted that the diffs used above are only taken from AFD discussions in which these two had overlaps within 24 hours of each other.
In the eighteen (18) AFDs that 24.103.234.74 has ever participated in, fourteen (14) have been in common with CrazyAces489. What is important in looking for similarities between editors, is also looking at this dissimilarities in where they show independence of each other. I believe the IP possibly rotates, but this would constitute a time where CrazyAces489 possibly used !voting at with his IP to change the direction of a number of AFDs.
Lastly, it should be noted that CrazyAces489 has filed an SPI against a few other participants of these AFD discussions. I did comment there as I was preparing this SPI when I noticed it among the list. Obviously it's concerning if these articles have been the subject to sockpuppetry so I think it should be looked into where evidence is available and where by due process it's clerk endorsed and CU investigated.

I looked at the edit history of 24 and outside of the AFD's over 2 different days. There is NO similar articles that we have edited on over a period of 4 years. [25]. CrazyAces489 ( talk) 19:04, 23 March 2015 (UTC)
CrazyAces admitted in several discussions on various talk pages that he'd created the NegroLeagueHistorian account to avoid the scrutiny he'd come under. Searching for his name at WP:ANI will show his many involvements. An example can be found at /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/IncidentArchive891#Proposed:_CrazyAces489_banned_from_creating_new_articles where he admits to creating an additional user (see also User_talk:Tokyogirl79/Archive_20#CrazyAces, User:Bishonen/Archive_19#CrazyAces489, User_talk:Papaursa#A concern). There are also many suspicious looking instances of votes coming from IPs to support CrazyAces and then never editing again. Examples can be found at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jose Landi and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sadaki Nakabayashi--both of which CrazyAces took to WP:DRV. At DRV, suddenly another IP, 96.127.236.62, appeared to support him. Out of the blue, this IP made the same racist claims against other editors that CrazyAces had made at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/PRehse/Archive and Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive881#Personal attacks by CrazyAces489. It was at the PRehse SPI that user Boogiecabc suddenly appeared to support CrazyAces with his first and only edit. Ivanvector noticed that Boggiecabc even had the same idiosyncratic editing style as CrazyAces. The behavioral evidence that at least some of these are sockpuppets seems strong to me.

I have tried to stop using even this account but when some articles I wrote were nominated for deletion and IP comments discounted [38]. I realized that I have to use my account for some things. I only have one IP and one username. Both correspond to the same location. Anything else is NOT me. CrazyAces489 ( talk) 09:17, 14 November 2015 (UTC)
Hey GracefulSlick, I was wondering when you would chime in! My attempts to have an IBAN against you simply failed! Lets put the cards on the table. You follow me around because I nominated a few articles of yours for deletion and when you retaliated I reported you which got you blocked. [40] You followed me on 2 accounts and anywhere I might come around. I am not using any socks so I am fine. I have been been banned from creating new articles, which was a big thing that I used to do. I was chased around and other users noticed it. [41] . There isn't really much on wiki for me to do, as this is what I liked to do. No reason for me to sockpuppet, so it doesn't bother me to have this up. I don't sockpuppet.

@ Vanjagenije: I had stopped using CA489 but was outed by Peter Rhese in my new account. [42] I believed I was using WP:VALIDALT when I was outed. I was closing out NegroLeagueHistorian (finishing up loose ends) and shifted back to CrazyAces after being outed. I cut down on my use of CrazyAces but have been a bit more active recently. I went from over 500 edits in a month (averaging around 300) to 30. [43] At no point were NLH and CA using the same articles as can be seen. [44] I stopped using NegroLeagueHistorian a few months ago. So a block on NLH isn't a big deal to me. If you feel it is necessary, I am ok with it. CrazyAces489 ( talk) 18:23, 14 November 2015 (UTC)
I did stop using it. (CrazyAces) I last edited on it on April 28, 2015 and edited again on May 24, 2015 to create an article that was martial arts related but I didn't want to create that article using NLH as to stay off of the topic of martial arts as per WP:CLEANSTART. I stopped again that day May 24, 2015 and my next edit was June 23, 2015. [46] . Almost a month between the edits I believe is stopping using an account. CrazyAces489 ( talk) 18:33, 14 November 2015 (UTC)
I am here to prove that I did NOT use any sockpuppets outside of my attempt to clean start with NLH ( I do have one IP address that is associated with these accounts. You will see that one IP traces back to Canada [49], one IP traces back to Massachusets. [50], the last IP traces to Eastern NYC [51]. I am simply trying to prove that I did NOT use multiple accounts to violate "sockpuppet" Please take perform a checkuser. CrazyAces489 ( talk) 18:15, 21 December 2015 (UTC)

Master is just a guess based on previous AfD abuse. Suspected puppet's actions look sock-ish to another user as well, so seems worth a report and CU. Murph9000 ( talk) 06:10, 2 October 2016 (UTC)
