- Evidence submitted by Jayron32
- All three share a similar editing history to MataNui44, and appear to have been used by him to perpetuate an edit war at several articles, especially Code Lyoko. User:Thatcher suggested that these were all sockpuppets, I am requesting a second opinion and possibly a CheckUser verification before blocking them. MataNui44 is currently on his third edit warring block. Given the behavioral evidence for these three, a CheckUser could confirm whether or not the sockdrawer is any deeper here as well.

Completed: Reviewed by a Checkuser, results and comments are below. Requested by Jayron32.talk.say no to drama 05:19, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

- Per below, all accounts blocked, tagged, and main account's block extended to indefinite. --Jayron32.talk.say no to drama 05:37, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
- Conclusions
Confirmed (it wasn't really a "suggestion" 
.) Oddoflyoko is a sockpuppet of MataNui44, Jeremie Belpois is a sockpuppet of Clab6, and it is technically possible/likely that they are all the same person. Combined with the edit behavior, it seems pretty certain. I ran across these guys while running an unrelated check, and since there are several blocks among them, I thought it was worth mentioning.

[edit]Suspected sockpuppets
[edit]- Josh145 (talk+ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · spi block · block log · CA · CheckUser(log) · investigate · cuwiki)
IP made edits to List of Danish bands (adding Cryoshell) [1][2] on Feb 16 and to Cryoshell [3][4] on March 9. Josh145 then appeared, editing solely on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Cryoshell until eventually getting indef blocked for attempted multivoting (signing with bogus usernames in some cases: [5][6][7]) and altering/deleting other users' !votes. Two days later, on the 11th, the IP reappeared and started editing that vote page, signing a vote (sort of) with a bogus username [8][9], deleting !votes [10][11].
Furthermore, Cryoshell was started by known sockpuppeteer MataNui44, and one of the bogus usernames used by Josh145 was "Matanui112". The only weakness with this is that Josh145's edits were clumsy (sometimes going through several revisions as he figured out how to do things like bold "Keep"), while MataNui44 was, from what I can tell, an experienced editor.
Josh145 is already indef blocked, but I'm mainly concerned with the IP.
Full disclosure, I have participated in that AfD, and my !vote was one of the ones deleted by Josh145 and the IP. I was not the admin who blocked Josh145.

[edit]This user has a very similar editing history to MataNui44 and Everyman21 (another sock previously blocked), especially on the article Code Lyoko, [12],[13],[14]. This user has been blocked 2 times for edit warring, and is probably on the verge of being blocked again.--ETLamborghini (talk) 15:48, 21 March 2010 (UTC)

[edit]Ticks all the checkboxes for MataNui44; over-zealous ownership of Code Lyoko, edit-warring over details only MN44 finds contentious and a swell line in self-injury by shooting off personal attacks until an indef block stares xer way. Bag it, tag it, move on. baa! radda 22:56, 21 March 2010 (UTC)

[edit]Self-endorsing for CheckUser attention due to previous recent socking and to block underlying IP(s) and sleepers. –MuZemike 20:14, 27 March 2010 (UTC)
- Disregard the CheckUser. I don't think that last one was necessarily a sock (likely a VOA), and the rest of 'em are stale. Marking as closed, instead. –MuZemike 20:16, 27 March 2010 (UTC)
Administrator note Clisntover has already been indefinitely blocked and tagged. –MuZemike 20:14, 27 March 2010 (UTC)
