Self-admitted sockpuppets
Suspected sockpuppets


Evidence submitted by Ckatz

User:TungstenCarbide was blocked for civility issues by Toddst1 back in March. The initial block was for 72 hours, and several admins and editors tried to talk TC through it. However, the block quickly became indefinite (courtesy of Kafziel) following a string of abusive messages on TC's talk page. From there, TungstenCarbide has returned with a string of admitted sockpuppet accounts:

The last few socks started leaving notes on my talk page, as well as at Wikipedia Review, so it has become a bit of a game for him/her. I strongly suspect that this guy has switched names to User:Strontiumsulfate; that account opened a few hours after TCX was blocked, and the only edit to date is to add "Here kitty, kitty.." on that user page. The aim here is to get at the source of this series of accounts, in the hope of closing off his/her access. Any information on additional "sleeper" accounts would also assist in this matter. --Ckatzchatspy 18:06, 8 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Clerk, patrolling admin and checkuser comments

 Clerk endorsed I'm fairly certain that Strontiumsulfate is a sock of TungstenCarbide, given the choice of a chemical user name and the play on Ckatz's username. However it could be useful to run a check to weed out any sleeper accounts and to block the underlying IP(s). Icestorm815 • Talk 18:47, 8 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

On purely technical grounds, I see no overlap. Behavioral cues mentioned above do seem to be red flags, though. Could be unrelated, or could be hopping ranges to avoid the current block. No obvious sleepers, if so. – Luna Santin (talk) 20:36, 8 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
