User quite clearly created an account to continue an edit war started with an IP. Blocked the account for 31 hours; further disruption will result in an indef block. Peter Symonds ( talk ) 18:54, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

User:Dylanmckane was blocked for three days in which the other accounts appeared. First edit once unblocked was to edit Iceland (supermarket), which all the other acounts edited. For example this edit by Dylanmckane is very similar and is the same content as this edit from User:86.45.78.52.  M I T H  14:44, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Evidence submitted by  M I T H 

Also this edit by Dylanmclane is the exact same as the ip users and User:Donabate.  M I T H  20:06, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

Also User:86.40.168.36 has yet to engage in disruptive behaviour yet, but is clearly another sock as it matches the other ips and edits templates created by Dylanmckane as seen in this history page.  M I T H  14:18, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Evidence submitted by McGeddon

User:User Centre is making the same unilateral, bulk moves of Cadbury chocolate articles (to add the word "Cadbury" to the start of each title, not always adhering to the style guide) as User:86.45.71.28's sockpuppet Dylanmckane was last month, and is again ignoring all attempts at discussion. Both editors, as well as User:86.45.71.28's sockpuppet User:Donabate, have edited or moved the Iceland (supermarket) article.

(This user has now been blocked indefinitely for "making en masse page moves with no explanation and no communication attempts".)--McGeddon (talk) 15:39, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

Exact same pattern of edits as the IP's other sockpuppets - editing articles about chain stores in Ireland, and renaming Cadbury chocolate articles ("Crunchie" to "Cadbury Crunchie", "Cadbury Dairy Milk Buttons" to "Cadbury Buttons", etc) without discussion or regard to earlier consensus.

 * Sick 2 looks like a sleeper account for block evasion by the above user. It  has only made one possibly disruptive edit (an un-discussed move of a UK retail article, yesterday) but contribs appear to fit the pattern of previously blocked accounts.  this unexplained deletion may also be cause for concern.
 * Edits of userpages User:Sick 2 and User talk:Sick 2 resemble the earlier blocked ssps.
 * The following blocked ssp accounts also seem to belong to this case:

Disruptive editing by apparently one user, who very quickly switches between IPs. Many warnings on talk pages to no avail. There are likely many more IPs involved. These four were just the most obvious ones right now.

These may be newbies who aren't really malicious types, but they are ignoring warnings..... -- Brangifer (talk) 06:02, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

case from Sockpuppet investigations/86.96.229.88 merged. The IP range is 86.0.0.0/9 which is far to wide to block (8388608 addresses), Regards, SpitfireTally-ho! 11:55, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
 * The recent IPs come from a much smaller range, though. It's 86.96.228.0/23, only 512 IPs. Tim Song (talk) 18:46, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

/23 range blocked (this time I checked and made sure I didn't block an entire country like I did last time with IPs in this region) and User:Sick 2 indefinitely blocked and tagged as a sock of User:Cadbury Wispa. –MuZemike 23:23, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
