Evidence submitted by Ryulong
Remember when I brought up the "AZLUCKY" individual? Well, it appears that the user is indeed disrupting this project in the same fashion that he was disrupting the Japanese Wikipedia. For unknown reasons, he has abandoned the account and moved onto  and on that account has created a bunch of esoteric categories (some on the old account). It also appears the user was in control of the account (edits to include Western animation in Category:Anime spin-offs) and may have used the also abandoned  account. I may have also found his IP: (which is blocked at ja.wiki as seen here). is also a possible sock account. All have edits relating to creating superfluous/esoteric categories, the Ultra Series, and Godzilla.

Now, can we show this user the boot just as they have done at the Japanese Wikipedia? And yes, I have not bothered to contact the individual because he does not respond to talk page messages anyway and will simply move onto another account.— Ryūlóng ( 竜龙 ) 06:57, 22 December 2009 (UTC)

Conclusions
Could the range be searched for other similar accounts? This guy is definitely a serial sockpuppeteer at his home project (and maybe this page could be moved to the more common name for the banned user "AZLUCKY" to make for ease in typing in the future).— Ryūlóng ( 竜龙 ) 07:50, 22 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Convention is to make the case name that of the master account (the templates in fact require it). I believe that the range was searched by the CU; that is how the other accounts were found.  ⇌  Jake   Wartenberg  07:57, 22 December 2009 (UTC)

Based on the account's sole contributions to the Mega Monster Battle: Ultra Galaxy Legend The Movie page, I believe this account belongs to the AZLUCKY individual who has been banned from the Japanese Wikipedia. He may or may not actually be a sockpuppet of Japanhero, but I figured this one was a safe bet to begin with due to the established interest in Ultraman from the AZLUCKY individual.— Ryūlóng ( 竜龙 ) 12:43, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

 * in the absence of further evidence. Review of contribs from some of the previous blocked accounts doesn't show a behavioral overlap, aside from a shared interest in Ultraman. Looks like this one may end up blocked on behavior anyway. Nathan  T 06:36, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

Conclusions
I did temporarily block Kabuto555 for disruption, but nothing else. I agree with Nathan in that there isn't enough here to block on sock puppetry let alone run a check. The articles are different, and even the edits are different. –MuZemike 19:32, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

This IP added an esoteric category created by one of the original slew of sockpuppets discovered. This IP should be checked to see if there are have been any accounts created.— Ryūlóng ( 竜龙 ) 22:05, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

, if anything, to see if the given IP can be hardblocked. I think this sockmaster changes IPs every so often but not rapidly. –MuZemike 18:32, 16 March 2010 (UTC)


 * No users have been on that IP, and the sockmaster just went stale within the last 24 hours. Nothing I can do. Hers fold  (t/a/c) 18:34, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

little to be achieved from blocking the IP as it hasn't been active for a few days now, the range they're on is also way too wide for a block. Marking as closed SpitfireTally-ho! 19:25, 19 March 2010 (UTC)
