I've mostly been an admin on the Best Friends wiki and because it's so well policed almost any sort of drama is non existent and what little there is is almost immediately stamped out. I have followed this wiki on a casual basis and subscribe to the Hange Zoe page, which is how I was alerted to the abusive, strong armed tactics Prelate has used from, at the very least, since his "siblings" arrived.

I reviewed all documents given (some for the first time) and have come to some conclusive assumptions...
 * Prelate led the charge multiple times to get rid of leadership, in favor of himself. He used various methods to do so, including cherry picking rules, contacting wikia administrators in hopes they would micromanage the wiki in his favor, had his "siblings" vote for his polls, and conducted flash polls without much warning (I had no idea Neo or Hc were up for a vote) that would dramatically change the face of the wiki.
 * His charge for a leadership position was intensified when articles were changed in ways he couldn't accept.
 * Prelate caused drama on and off the wiki through various methods.
 * A single IP was discovered by the wikia moderators to be behind multiple accounts, no actual number was given but in an attempt to get in front of the accusation Prelate said two were his siblings.
 * Prelate's admitted "siblings" have identical posting habits in terms of times edited frequency, interests and agenda but they almost never post at the same time and seem to "take turns".
 * Multiple other accounts signed up around the same time as Prelate's "siblings" and they all vote for his causes as well. They rarely, if ever, contribute to the wiki outside of lending a vote here and there for Prelate's many polls.

Without conclusive evidence showing otherwise, as an admin of another wiki, I have come to the conclusion that Prelate should receive a year ban from the wikia for sock puppetry and voter manipulation. I've seen no evidence clearing his name from the accusations and his tactics most likely go far further than he admitted. The loss of his frequent contributions could cause hesitation but I submit his contributions are generally too frequent and discourage others from contributing because of his tactics and strong arming. Most of his contributions are generally unwanted as well as they outline the story too intricately and cross the line from summary to wholesale reproductions of the story, which could be seen as copyright infringement of the manga series.

In order to create an environment of fun, freedom and creativity those who create drama unnecessarily, are power hungry and abuse the rules must be punished accordingly.
