Canpop



 * Code letter: C or G?


 * Supporting evidence:

I think Canpop has helpfully listed socks on their user page. I came across this user when reverting blanking to WP:Block by Nigel321. Canpop showed up after Nigel's 72 hour block by User:Xenocidic in order to edit Nigel321's user page. I noticed the list of "friends" and a couple that I checked out had also received vandalism warnings and had their user pages created by Canpop. Pretty sure these are all the same user but a checkuser to confirm as well as find any other accounts might be useful. If this case is too obvious/much trouble, I'll move over to WP:SSP. Thanks, R.

 * I blocked Nigel for 72 hours (hoping for some future behavioural change), but probably could've handed out an indef. I have no objection to upgrading to indef. if this is true. xenocidic (talk) 17:07, 18 June 2008 (UTC)


 * They all edit primarily from the same school. I can not absolutely confirm or rule out sockpuppetry for any of the accounts, but some of the accounts have edits from home IPs that make it unlikely they are actual sockpuppets.  Certainly they know what they are doing, and seem to be coordinating some obnoxious behavior  .  An admin should look carefully at the contribs of the various accounts before taking any action.

 * Sounds similar to a response I just gave at my talk page. I had already indefblocked  (and caught some heat for it if I recall correctly) and came close just now to blocking two others - and yes, I just checked all of their contributions one-by-one.  I agree though - a bunch of schoolmates, some of whom may be good-faith editors.  Good to keep an eye on. —Wknight94 (talk) 17:24, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
