Evidence

The puppeteer account was banned as abusive. Note the use of screaming capital letters in these vandal diffs: [1] [2]

Puppets are almost certainly connected to one another. Note 85.189.180.235 use of rude caps: [3] [4]
Here 85.189.181.99 uses the tell tale caps and the rude "UNDERSTAND" we saw from 85.189.180.235 [5]
EdChampion is a single purpose account that was created by the above IPs solely to disrupt Edmund the Martyr as the user name itself indicates. Note the caps and rude tone: [6] [7]
The account will rarely edit another article [8] in violation of WP:POINT in the hopes that bizarre edits elsewhere will improve the chances of advancing his agenda at Edmund the martyr.

Comments

Use of one or more accounts abusively and using IPs and single purpose accounts to edit while blocked is grounds for further penalties. I believe there are other accounts belonging to this user. I presented the most obvious ones here.

EdChampion seems to be an expert when it comes to WP policy and "jobbing the system", yet he claims to edit only Edmund the Martyr. He is clearly a sock of some editor who does not want anybody to know what else he edits when he is away from Edmund the Martyr. He is also a horrid example of WP:IDIDNTHEARTHAT as proven by the 125k of the same tired arguement over and over again in Edmund the Martyr's talk archive. In the face of consensus and RfCs going against him, EdChampion lives up to his name.

It is easy to see that 85.189.181.99, 85.189.180.235, and EdChampion are all the same user. If those three could be tied to 85.189.170.202, it would be clearly in violation of an existing block.

Note: - Sockpuppeteer blocked as an open proxy. --EoL talk 23:35, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
