* '''[[WP:RFCU#code letters|Code letter]]:''' C

* '''Supporting evidence:''' I have filed two lengthy reports regarding the issue. It all started in November of last year, when [[Special:Contributions/200.215.40.3|200.215.40.3]] kept playing around with my edits and went Wiki-stalking with my contributions. Eventually, 200.215.40.3 was blocked for a period of two days on December 24. What I didn't notice was that the user was very active on several projects. In fact, by the time he started disrupting enwiki, he had already made a lot of '''edits on ptwiki, itwiki and lawiki''' (see [http://toolserver.org/~luxo/contributions/contributions.php?user=200.215.40.3&lang= Global Contribs of 200.215.40.3]). The user lives in Brazil (I know this for a fact as there are more Portugese edits than Spanish; also see WHOIS) and, thus, edits in Portugese and English for the most part. After the block expired, [[Pontiff]] and [[Holy Father]] were still negatively affected. In Portugese Wikipedia, [[W:pt:Sua Santidade|Sua Santidade]] ("His Holiness") was negatively affected. The user was involved in changing all of the links/names (ie: againstopposite of "dab" linking), which was considered to be actually quite minor at the time. However, the user was evidently denying requests (the [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3A200.215.40.3&diff=165766245&oldid=162283942 first one was] made by [[User:Andrew c|Andrew c]]) to kindly discuss the issue as they were used solely for that purpose. The problem became obvious to me by the time he/she had only reverted a few times and had wrote almost as many negative edit summaries.

* The first report that I filed, '''''[[Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/200.215.40.3]]''''', brought attention regarding this issue. What that report didn't cover was the handful of accounts beingthat loggedwere created as spares in order to evade the blocks. Afterwards, a few days ago, I filed the second report, '''''[[Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/Benkenobi is a retardate]]''''', which concluded with indefinite blocks for all of the checkusered accounts and ended also with the idea of further action regarding cross-wiki vandalism (I'll deal with that mostly on Meta). Like the edits on enwiki, '''ptwiki''' and the other projects were, again, negatively affected by this user (ie: the '''[[W:pt:Sua Santidade|Sua Santidade]]''' article), a lot of which were edited by the user either for either needlessly changing the names (against naming conventions), or deletion of content or POV changes on Coptic Orthodox-related articles (definitely against me specifically). In regards to those edits, I strongly feel that it is against the Wikimedia Foundation's [http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Non_discrimination_policy Policy on Discrimination].

* User:Auson was indefinitely blocked for harassment of users and manipulating sock accounts (see the [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&type=block&page=User%3AAuson Block log]). According to Auson's User log, Auson did indeed try to evade a block by creating the account of "[[Special:Contributions/Benkenobi is a retardate|User:Benkenobi is a retardate]]" (12:47, 19 July 2008), who was indefinitely blocked. This is the first piece of evidence which proves that this user intentionally harrassed or bothered users other than myself, [[User:Benkenobi18]] in particular. Also, according to [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=&user=Catholicus&page=&year=&month=-1 the log of Catholicus], the account of ProSadomino was created by the same user. Also, while the edits are quite similar, some of the usernames are quite obvious as well. <b>Auson —> Log|Username (Benkenobi is a retardate|Ausonia) // Catholicus —> Log|Username (ProSaDomino|Italicus).</b>

* Lastly, since [[User:Habsburgo]] is the only account that was created on enwiki but was (only) used on another project—spanish Wikipedia (eswiki) and (more importantly) many IP edits were made to different projects, there is still the potential of further global edits made by any of these accounts. Thus, I would '''highly''' suggest an indefinite global block to prevent creation/globalization of the same accounts so that further cross-wiki issues with this user can be more easily avoided.

**'''Note''': for more information regarding the cross-wiki vandalism, see the report that was filled out [[meta:Vandalism reports#200.215.40.3|here]]. Also, if anyone one is interested, I may send a Wikipedia email in accordance with Wikipedia's privacy policy. I do have some important information regarding how to track IP vandalism/sock puppetry in general, so I am prepared to give you that information if you are willing to know. Thank you.
