 * Code letter: G


 * Supporting evidence:

All the edits in question are between 17-22 August (22nd August, 23.04 BST) on the article Polmont.

In 2006-2007 the article Polmont was overrun by sockpuppets of user:JohnJohnJohnJohn. These sockpuppets repeated added nonsense to the article and created non-notable articles relating to Polmont (i.e. Polmont F.C.). In the past two months the same style of edits have reappeared, as has both user:JohnJohnJohnJohn, a former suspected sockpuppet user:Nickyaberdeen with an IP editor - 82.41.249.119. These edits include adding that the Wallace Monument can be seen from Polmont (which it can't), removing fact labels and adding photographs of buildings not in Polmont and not showing Polmont (Avondale Folly, which overlooks Grangemouth). These suspected sockpuppets started with Nickyaberdeen on August 17, then moved onto the IP-editor the same day and have continued to today (22nd). This is when the user JohnJohnJohnJohn also edited after the IP-editor.

The IP editor is the only user who has placed the Avondale Folly image on the Polmont article. This happened soon after Nickyaberdeen uploaded it. My fear is, if left unchecked this user and his sockpuppets will make the article a battleground, much like it was a year ago, in efforts to remove patent nonsense from the article.

Recent checkuser for user:JohnJohnJohnJohn confirmed and resulted in the block of two sockpuppets (user:Nickyaberdeen and user:82.41.249.119). In order to prevent the editor from circumventing these blocks, formerly suspected sockpuppets are here requested for checkuser.

None sockpuppets listed above has ever confirmed. Mark t young (talk) 21:00, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Merged from Requests for checkuser/Case/JohnJohnJohnJohn - 02. Also, it seems likely that all the accounts named in this follow-up request are stale, with regard to CU data. – Luna Santin  (talk) 22:39, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Supporting evidence:

Recent checkuser case for user:JohnJohnJohnJohn confirmed and resulted in the block of two sockpuppets (user:Nickyaberdeen and user:82.41.249.119). In order to prevent the editor from circumventing these blocks, a new suspected sock-puppet found from May, 2008 is here requested for checkuser.

This will be the last check-user request for past Johnx4 sockpuppets, as all other suspected sockpuppets are from 2006-2007 and lack CU data. Mark t young (talk) 14:55, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
