I am convinced that Thefiremanx6 is Cali11298. For starters, Thefiremanx6's very first edit was one where he showed up out of nowhere and reverted me on an obscure, recently created redirect page that I only found because I had recently looked at Jim Michael (talk · contribs)'s edit history. How would a relatively new editor know to find that redirect? What are the chances that I would be reverted by a WP:Newbie so soon after changing the redirect? Knowing mathematics and all, I would state what the chances are, but, as noted on my user page, I'm generally staying away from math on Wikipedia. I will, however, state that the chances are very low unless the editor was watching me. Cali11298 is watching me.
Thefiremanx6 then moved on and reverted Dougweller at the Linda Chavez article after Dougweller reverted another one of Cali11298's WP:Sockpuppets -- Redhood6889 (talk · contribs). I then reverted Thefiremanx6 there because of obvious WP:Sockpuppetry, and so did NeilN.
Cali11298 likes to state "goodbye" in different ways, with a comma between the goodbye variation and his signature. See here where he states, "Hasta la vista." Here where he states, "Regards." Here where he states, "Anyways, see you." And here where he states, "Adios." Thefiremanx6 has also stated "Adios," with the comma after the word and before the signature. The same as Cali11298.
I mentioned in the first Cali11298 WP:Sockpuppet investigation that Jhamilton303 (talk · contribs), another Cali11298 WP:Sockpuppet, attempted to WP:Ping me even though WP:Pinging only works with a new signature. Well, as seen with this edit, Thefiremanx6 recently did the same with a different editor. He has not learned.
With this edit, Jhamilton303 states, "I don't know who this Cali person is." With this edit, Thefiremanx6 stated, "it doesn't mean that I'm this Cali person." Well, what are the odds that these two accounts, which already have other similarities, would both state "this Cali person"? Again, the odds are not high.
With this edit, the same edit where Jhamilton303 talks about "this Cali person is," he also stated, "Blaming the victim?" With this edit, Thefiremanx6 stated, "I'm the victim."
As seen here and here, Cali11298 and Thefiremanx6 like to refer to me by male pronouns, even though they know I'm female. Yes, Thefiremanx6 knows.
As seen on my talk page, Thefiremanx6 engages in the same personal attacks style as Cali11298 and his WP:Sockpuppets.
Cali11298 continues to WP:Sockpuppet, and he's proven to be a compulsive liar. I would like one or more WP:CheckUsers to look into the WP:Sockpuppeting he's done as Thefiremanx6, and to check for WP:Sleepers. I contacted WP:CheckUsers about this via email, but since two of them have not gotten back to me on this, and one of them suggested that I start a WP:Sockpuppet investigation because he rarely uses the WP:CheckUser tool and only uses it for WP:ArbCom matters, I have clearly done what he suggested (since there is enough evidence to start one, that is). Even though this is a waste of time, it will serve to record more of Cali11298's WP:Sockpuppetry and compulsive lying. WP:Pinging the following editors who took part in the previous Cali11298 WP:Sockpuppet investigations in case they want to weigh in on this one: Beyond My Ken (BMK), Jayron32, IJBall, and Capitalismojo.
