Basic information

[edit]

Someone from Southern California has been disrupting a wide range of articles about demographics, ethnicity, ancestry and diasporas, adding original research or trivia (special:diff/1077059718), or non-neutral material (special:diff/1167399609). They have also used proxies from elsewhere, for instance Special:Contributions/36.13.163.19 was blocked for two years, and Special:Contributions/211.212.237.197 was blocked three times. They make many requests at Wikipedia:Articles for creation/Redirects (1, 2, 3) and use such redirects to create articles as IPs (special:diff/1186461370). They have repeatedly attempted to create an article at List of Mexican-American communities out of a redirect. They add links to foreign language wikis in navigation boxes (special:diff/1181676421), or add ancestry statistics to city articles (special:diff/1232105401).

Baseball and sports have been an interest of this person, starting from 2006. See Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Mike D 26/Archive. This person also edits music articles. Hip hop music and Drake were frequent targets starting in 2015. See Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/HipHopVisionary/Archive.

He also targets US states, their demographics, some of their prominent towns and African American/ different African ethnic groups living in countries or US states (Special:Contributions/220.116.117.235).
