Evidence

The puppetmasters MOs include: Themed names- all of the names Baseball Card Guy, Bbcardguy, Opccollector, Die Profis - Die nächste Generation, Your Radio Enemy, are all theme names attempting to give the impression of knowledge or interest in the subject matter. I believe this is done to throw people off. For example Your Radio Enemy edits radio related articles but only in a manner not related to content. His edits are cosmetic and can be achieved by anyone with or without radio knowledge. For that matter he could make the same cosmetic edits to any kind of article. Die Profis gives the impression he is a German user. I was not surprised to see that his edits at the baseball card pages were to include metric units. Die Profis claims to have stumbled onto the pages however those were his first three edits. 1, 2, 3.

Red links- at the opening of the previous case all the suspected socks had the traditional red link with little to no use of the talk pages.

ANI and deletions- These links show that he is quick to make complaints and does so frequently. He also places numerous pages and images up for deletion.

Having a great deal of socks has certainly made it difficult for him to keep track of them all. Baseball Card Guy cites 3 diffs claiming to be harassment against him, however the first diff is about Die Profis.

This edit shows Baseball Card Guy changing inches from fractions to decimals. An edit shared by Die Profis above. All of them keep the decimals despite the statement made here.

Your Radio Enemy got into a little edit spat over at New York IRT and related pages with another user. Among the reverts in the conflict was Baseball Card Guy Furthermore, this discussion shows the true nature of Your Radio Enemy. It did not taken him very long to irritate that user.

I had also mentioned the writing style and logic. They are prone to empty and unfounded statements concerning my demeanor and intentions. They do not confront valid arguments in the discussion forums. Their writing resembles speech which itself resembles childish drivel. He does not appear to have achieved the writing skills necessary to pass 8th or 9th grade. It is surprising to me that this is not clearly evident upon investigation of his vast literary forays into the wikipedic continuum. Then again, as I mentioned above, his edits are primarily uploads and deletions of images, unwarranted reverts, complaints to ANI, monitoring me, foot apparel manufacturing... Some examples-

This edit plants Die Profis right in the same basket as Plate King and Bolly Nickers. Plate King has also ventured on to the Baseball card pages and the Vehicle registration plate pages. The plate pages are also littered with the same redlink/themed socks such as Plate King, Mr. License Plate, Ricksplates, etc. Furthermore the plate pages are designed as a data table/image gallery. This is the same design that Baseball Card Guy has employed at the Baseball Card Pages. Compare 1950s Topps with Vehicle registration plates of Washington, D.C..

Comments

Please refer to the following cases Misplaced Pages:Suspected sock puppets/Baseball Card Guy, Misplaced Pages:Suspected sock puppets/I Hate CAPTCHAS, Misplaced Pages:Suspected sock puppets/Bolly Nickers. Baseball Card Guy pretty much convicted himself in the I Hate CAPTCHAS case. He accused me of being banned user Tecmobowl. However I found it hard to believe that as he had began editing in May of 2008 that he would have knowledge of Tecmobowl who was banned in July 2007.
