  • Supporting evidence: A repeat sockpuppeteer who has engaged in highly disruptive editing, posting rants to articles, vandalising content, behaving abusively towards other editors and repeatedly evading blocks. The accounts all edit the same range of articles (often the exact same articles) and post the same things - clearly it's the same person. I have been blocking each sock as it appears. Sample diffs follow:
Sinbad Barron: [1], [2], [3], [4]
Billy Bollox: [5], [6], [7]
Billy Bollinja: [8]. [9], [10] - also note links with previous account: [11], [12]
X Ray Tex: [13], [14], [15], [16], [17]

He will no doubt be back for more, so it would be useful to determine whether this person has any sleeper accounts, and perhaps whether the underlying IP address can be blocked to prevent the appearance of further socks. -- ChrisO (talk) 18:44, 29 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There's the possibility of a /24 soft rangeblock here, if this guy persists - Alison 19:37, 29 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Could someone please do a follow-up checkuser on DW Celt (talk · contribs) (as noted above) to see if there are further sockpuppets created since that user was blocked back in June? -- ChrisO (talk) 21:24, 29 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
