Yorkshirian

 * (master account banned some time back, see the rest of the case page for other known socks)
 * (recently blocked sock of Yorkshirian that can be used if other IP data is too old for comparison)
 * (user to be checked)


 * Code letter: B) (arb case)

is an SPA who is repeating, in part, an edit made by known Yorkshirian sock Bovarl. Please determine whether Portayla is Yorkshirian. Thank you. --B (talk) 04:22, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
 * ✅. Also blocked sock . I've been scanning through eight or nine IP ranges on a regular basis when I suspect Yorkshirian socks, but I always seem to miss one or two. Nishkid64 (Make articles, not wikidrama) 05:25, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

Yorkshirian (Riparder)

 * (master account banned some time back)
 * (self confessed sock - thread diff)
 * (self confessed sock)
 * - breaks ranks with other sockpuppets, but makes a confession here. My bad. Misread his post. --Jza84 | Talk  16:14, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
 * (self confessed sock - see history)
 * (as above)
 * I'll stop the list there (I'm sure more will pop up!), any more of these should be easily detectable.

The above accounts are linked by one at WikiCommons - User:Thomas Gun.


 * Code letter: B) (arb case)


 * Supporting evidence: I have blocked these two accounts as I've obtained evidence from a commons account that these two are one and the same, and are also puppets of double-banned User:Yorkshirian. What I want to do is check these users' ips and logs and see if there are any more accounts about. Just to be clear, this user is a chronic, long-term offender and amongst our worse sockpuppeteers (see Category:Suspected_Wikipedia_sockpuppets_of_Yorkshirian, Category:Wikipedia sockpuppets of Yorkshirian and Category:Wikipedia sockpuppets of Daddy Kindsoul). If possible, it might be worth checking Wikicommons for sockpuppetry too. --Jza84 | Talk  13:21, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Added unblocked . Two of three edits by  involved MurunB.  —Wknight94 (talk) 16:29, 27 August 2008 (UTC)


 * MurunB is, all the rest are or ✅.  Unfortunately a rangeblock is not possible here, and trying to find other accounts preemptively is going to be pretty difficult. I'd recommend blocking on behavior, and if someone complains, ask for a checkuser to confirm it. Thatcher 03:45, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
