Evidence

Each of these users has been repeatedly changing the Kyle Petty page to state that his nationality is Mexican, rather than American (which is where I first observed this pattern). A quick look at the edit histories of each of these users suggests that each user has been making similar edits, getting blocked, and then similar edits begin from a new account. On the Kyle Petty page the first edit was byFelipe Garcia but I cannot be certain if that is the original puppetmaster, or if this is a sock of another puppet master and I've simply found the first time that he/she edited on the Kyle Petty page. Other users, including AngelOfSadness have been active in reverting his/her changes, and may also be able to provide additional information.

I am here providing a list of users and diffs on the Kyle Petty page, but there are probably other examples of a similar pattern as well:

1. Felipe Garcia: [1] [2]
2. AutisticGuy: [3]
3. Chocolate Covered Bananas: [4]
4. SouthernRebelYell: [5] [6]
5. Oldskoolnintendofan: [7]
6. BlindedByTheLight75: [8]
7. Pokegirl14: [9] [10] [11][12]
8. CutLilPuppyDog31: [13]

• Also most of the suspected sockpuppets have been inserting pro-ACLU/pro-Latino/pro-Mexican/anti-racist remarks into their attacks/threats on other editors for example:

1. Felipe Garcia - [14] [15] [16]
2. Chocolate Covered Bananas - [17] [18] [19] [20]
3. SouthernRebelYell - [21]
4. Oldskoolnintendofan - [22] [23]
5. BlindedByTheLight75 - [24] [25]
6. Pokegirl14 - [26] [27] [28]
7. Selldonutsatmydoor - [29]

• Some of the users, once reported to AIV or even reverted in some cases, would replace their report with a report with the other editor's (who filed the original report or reverted their edits) name:

1. Felipe Garcia - [30] [31]
2. AutisticGuy - [32] [33]
3. BlindedByTheLight75 - [34]
4. Pokegirl14 - [35]
5. Selldonutsatmydoor - [36]

• Also all of the users mentioned in this report have edited Pokemon-related pages in the same manner/fashion i.e. changing the origin of the series to Mexican and changing the names of the voice actors to IndyCar and NASCAR racers such as Bobby Labonte and Kyle Petty

1. Felipe Garcia - [37] [38] [39] [40] [41]
2. AutisticGuy - [42] [43] [44]
3. Chocolate Covered Bananas - [45] [46] [47]
4. SouthernRebelYell - [48] [49]
5. Oldskoolnintendofan - [50] [51]
6. BlindedByTheLight75 - [52] [53]
7. Pokegirl14 - [54] [55]
8. Selldonutsatmydoor - [56] [57]
9. CutLilPuppyDog31 - [58] [59] [60]
