[on Barry Ley article]
[user acting similarly a while before]
[supporting DrParkes and encouraging ban evasion in an odd tone]
[displaying the capitalization trait]
[user Jamesthorburn displaying the capitalization trait]
[Kbenton displaying the same capitalization trait and hero-worship of DrParkers]
[more or less admitting to hiding identity using IP-concealers]
[hero-worshipping DrParkes and encouraging ban evasion]
There is too many diffs of the same pattern to list here in a feasible fashion. Please take note of the deleted article Blaggers's discussion page, the Barry Ley page and its discussion, and the identical writing styles between all the named parties and the suspected puppetmaster, who is banned for circumventing a three-day ban (displaying this user's history in these matters) for edit-warring, without sources, the Brazilian Jiu-jitsu article. The named users all seem to have the banned user's exact views in that matter. They all seem to have paranoid delusions that a "Judo Gang" is hounding DrParkes's unsourced revelations on the nature of BJJ from wikipedia. The named suspected sockpuppets notably share a tendency to capitalize the names of editors "they" have problems with. They share a tendency to remove tags requesting citations or information. When they do provide citations they are invariably faulty.
If you spend some time (unfortunately, all the named users also share a tendency to make many tiny edits in sequence) reading the histories of Barry Ley, its talk, and its article for deletion page, I believe it is obvious that they are one user, most likely banned user DrParkes; at the least they are meatpuppets.
