Crafty Butcher is banned and is a sock of User:Bell V Bell, Crafty Butcher added the following lines to the John Ellis article which mentions Victor Tsigal. He also created the Victor Tsigal article with a hoax reference to John Ellis.

User:Victor Tsigal has so far made only 1 edit, non vandalism but I believe this account may be used in future for this purpose when its new user status has expired.

User:Brisk69 has made only 3 edits so far, again non vandal but the only link between the 3 articles, especially John Ellis (Irish politician) and City of Kingston are that they recently appeared in my recent contributions list. This user has recently created many impersonator accounts of me and has been wikistalking me. I believe these are all socks of the same banned user. Snappy56 (talk) 02:16, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

Requests for checkuser/Case/Bell V Bell is pertinent. There are two major ranges here and several smaller ones, mostly too big to range block, but I did one range block for two weeks.

 * Supporting evidence:

A persistent vandal has been creating numerous accounts which are deliberately similar to my username, then editing and vandalising articles which I have recently edited. I have reported these accounts and they have been banned by WP:UAA but still it keeps coming back. Could the checkuser investigate whether the series of accounts are on a common IP range and what, if any collateral damage there would be to rangeblock it.

 * Thanks for that Nishkid64, I didn't realise it was that saddo wikipéire, its been quite prolific in sock creation. One question, when you say IP blocked as well, does that mean a range block and does this mean, it will be prevented from creating any more socks (at least in this range) ?

 * I only blocked his current IPs. I dpn't consider a rangeblock to be feasible at the moment. Nishkid64 (Make articles, not wikidrama) 05:44, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
