Mikemikev
Mikemikev (Power word: Michael Coombs) is a racist Wikipedia sockpuppeteer, former Metapedia sysop, and participant in the Stormfront and Thephora forums who specializes in obsessive grudgewankery. Mikemikev is from the UK and taught English at Asian schools. He's currently believed to be residing in South Korea.
Mike has over 61 confirmed sockpuppet accounts at Wikipedia as well as on other websites. Despite this, it has been noted that his contributions to Wikipedia do not exceed 100 mainspace edit totals on articles. Instead the vast majority of his posts are on talk pages where he stirs up controversies surrounding race or personally attacks other editors. He has also been banned from Metapedia and Thephora.

Early years
In 2004, Mikemikev was attending the University of Sussex:
Bingo! I was an undergrad at Sussex. I had the pleasure of studying evolutionary genetics under John Maynard Smith, while pursuing my major of AI. Sadly I had to leave the beautiful Sussex countryside for postgrad study at UCL. But isn't tracing my IP and wikiliking to it's origin frowned upon? I personally have no problem with it though. mikemikev (talk) 16:20, 1 May 2010 (UTC)
In April 2004, Mikemikev joined Wikipedia and created its "Dry distillation" article:
If you topic ban me I will wash my hands of wikipedia. I created the dry distillation article in 2004, it still stands as I wrote it. I make corrections from time to time, usually I don't bother to login. I got caught up in R&I after seeing it POV forked in December, it's now a decent article (my part was not instrumental). Maybe if I had logged in and helped write the Teletubbies article you would not be having this discussion (prompted, might I add, by Mathsci). Might I also add that one of the 'SPAs' (BPesta) is a professor of psychology published in 'Intelligence' for R&I research. mikemikev (talk) 21:48, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
In February 2008, he attempted to get back at a school that he once taught at by inserting himself into the school's Wikipedia article:
One English Teacher's Bad Experience at the University.Michael Coombs, an English teacher from the UK who was employed by the university, was disappointed to find that he was not given the three room apartment with all facilities he was promised. Instead, he was placed in foreign students accommodation. Living conditions included: One room; No hot water until 18:00; Absolutely no guests allowed except from 16:00 until 22:00, and then only two guests maximum; Main doors locked at 23:00 with no exit/entrance for residents until 06:00, any attempt met with abuse by the night watchman; A small kitchen shared with many students, from which food was consistently stolen; Improperly fitted windows and doors resulting in coldness and mosquitoes. He was told throughout the four months he was there that he would be moved to the three room apartment with all facilities soon. Eventually he resigned.
Mikemikev apparently thought that the PRC would treat him like royalty instead of an American-look-alike and possible spy. He later posted the same complaint on the TEFL Blacklist. The ever-vigilant Wikipedians didn't revert Mikemikev's addition to the article until a month later.
Race and Intelligence
In December 2009, Mikemikev, who was attending Imperial College, London, at the time, entered the "Race and Intelligence" debate. He began by anonymously belittling Eyferth's research by inserting vague references to unnamed critics. Another editor reverted Mikemikev and advised him to discuss the issue on the article's talk page, and Mikemikev anonymously did just that (yes, that IP address belongs to Mikemikev).
By January 2010, Mikemikev was a participant in "Race and Intelligence" mediation case. Late March 2010, Mikemikev's future opponent Mathsci reentered the "Race and intelligence" debate after a hiatus of few months by noting the how flawed the mediation case had become. Mikemikev displayed clear signs of animosity towards Mathsci soon afterwards: [1], [2].
In April 2010, Mikemikev began edit warring pushing his weight around. He claimed that sociologists didn't have any understanding of what is or isn't a social construct, claimed that "environment only theory makes no regression prediction," removed "according to x" and attempting to make statements sound more factual ([3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9]), and removed criticism ([10], [11]). Mikemikev also began labeling those who didn't accept his point of view as "Marxists": [12], [13], [14].
By mid-April 2010, Mathsci and Mikemikev were each plotting the demise of the other: [15], [16], [17], [18], [19], [20], [21].
Banned
In June 2010, after a series of dramaboard discussions failed to settle anything, the long-awaited ArbCom case on "Race and Intelligence" began, and Mikemikev was named as a party to the case.
On August 11, 2010, Mikemikev was blocked for three days for attempting to have several sources removed from an article multiple times ([22], [23], [24], [25], [26]).
On August 18th, Mikemikev was blocked infinitely for making personal attacks.
By the end of the ArbCom case, ArbCom found Mikemikev guilty of severe misconduct, and on August 25th, Mikemikev was banned from Wikipedia.
Afterwards, Mikemikev began creating sockpuppet accounts, and Mathsci became obsessed with uncovering each and every one of them.
YouTube
Mikemikev once had a YouTube account, but he was banned for being a racist asshole. Here's all the remains:
