An IP range was recently blocked with the comment that it may have been used by AFolkSingersBeard (see here). Since then, this account was registered and continues to make similar, sometimes the same, edits as past socks. For example, the IP made this edit, this new account made the same edit here. The new user also repeatedly posts to talk pages without indentation or signing (see, , ), much like the IP and past socks  nableezy  - 15:01, 27 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Unrelated by technical evidence? Given the past use of anonymizing services, I wasnt expecting a technical match. But I think the behavioral evidence suggests that this user is the same as the past IP (who I thought was Ledenierhomme).  nableezy  - 15:35, 27 April 2011 (UTC)

Also, an IP that located to Hong Kong, though I see it as a proxy, made the same edit as this user on David Cesarani. If it is this user, that is also using a sock to avoid the 1RR.  nableezy  - 15:37, 27 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Indeed, unrelated by technical evidence. The IP being used does not appear to be a proxy and the computer is different as well. Checkuser info is just a small piece of a bigger picture, though. The final decision should be left to the reviewing admin. TN X Man  15:50, 27 April 2011 (UTC)

I would bet money that this user is the same as. Same behavior, same format in talk page comments. The cycle goes as follows: register an account, make a collection of reverts, abandon account. Rinse, repeat.  nableezy  - 23:43, 3 May 2011 (UTC)

Behavioural evidence does not seem overwhelming to me. I may be completely wrong, but it doesn't seem that Red Stone Arsenal is a sock to me. Regards, MacMedtalk stalk 22:33, 3 May 2011 (UTC)

From what I can see, Red Stone Arsenal appears ❌ to AFolkSingersBeard. TN X Man 15:25, 27 April 2011 (UTC)
 * I don't really think they're the same. Having said that, I've opened another case regarding Red Stone Arsenal. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 13:37, 8 May 2011 (UTC)

Page history for an article under Palestine-Israel articles scope, United Nations Partition Plan for Palestine, shows possible use of logged out account in order to circumvent the sanctions given at WP:ARBPIA (specifically, the 1RR remedy). I request this SPI as it relates to a current AE request. - Penwhale &#124; dance in the air and follow his steps 08:23, 1 August 2011 (UTC) - Penwhale &#124; dance in the air and follow his steps 08:23, 1 August 2011 (UTC)

''Accused parties may also comment/discuss in this section below. See Defending yourself against claims.'' The edits by indicate a connection to Ledenierhomme. I have thought for some time that the sockmasters Ledenierhomme/AFolkSingersBeard/OpinionsAreLikeAHoles are all one person. One set of accounts focuses on articles such as Expédition d'Irlande and Rights of Englishmen, the others are mostly just trolling Roland, myself, and a few other accounts for reasons I have not yet been able to wrap my head around.  nableezy  - 15:26, 1 August 2011 (UTC)
 * I suspect that this is another sock of blocked serial puppeteer . Compare the edits on Al-Azhar University, dating back to April:, with edit summary "(Undid revision 425816473 by Nableezy"; the edit by Nableezy was a reversion of a repeated BLP-violating edit by AFSB and sockpuppets (including one of the above IPs), which led to the article being protected for a while. This new account almost immediately finds and reverts a three-month-old edit by a sockpuppet. This seems odd to me. RolandR (talk) 12:56, 1 August 2011 (UTC)
 * This looks very likely to me. These socks certainly appear to target Nableezy and me, reverting even innocuous edits in an attempt to drag us into edit wars. This sock farm has caused much drama, with one editor being cautioned for her temerity in raising the matter, and the admin who cautioned her then being admonished for this. It really is about time that we found a way to put an end to this abuse. RolandR (talk) 15:51, 1 August 2011 (UTC)

The following three accounts are ✅ matches:

 * Quacks enough for me, case moved, all accounts blocked and tagged, Second IP on 1 week for evasion. I need more diffs though to block the first IP. -- DQ  (t)   (e)  17:44, 1 August 2011 (UTC)

The following edits are attacks on myself and User:Malik Shabazz that are very similar to those on myself and Malik Shabazz by the recently blocked Sockpuppet of User:AFolkSingersBeard using the name User:JerryDavid89; that user also had this recent Arbitration Enforcement Action under WP:ARBPIA: AE with similar details.
 * He's already been blocked twice by User:MalikShabazz for personal attacks: July 25 and July 27 for attacks on me.
 * Sarkhan Vol revert of a Malik Shabazz revert of Sarkhan Vol attack on me
 * Obvious personal attack on Malik Shabazz when he writes: IRONIC how Carol Moore is allowed to post ANTI-SEMITISM, yet I am not allowed to CRITICIZE her or Arabs because that is considered by an ARAB ADMINISTRATOR AND HIS CRONIE to be a "personal attack."

 * I've blocked Sarkhan for being disruptive and a potential sockpuppet per WP:DUCK. It's clear that they're not a new account. However, I'm also endorsing to confirm this, as well as to find any sleepers. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 04:52, 6 August 2011 (UTC)
 * No, Mr. Vol is actually JarlaxleArtemis. --Bsadowski1 10:49, 7 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Oh. Well... wonderful. It's blocked anyway, so I guess we can close this case... —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 13:37, 7 August 2011 (UTC)

The account and IP have been making the same edit as past AFolkSingersBeard socks, such as this by RonaldMerchant, this by the IP which is nearly the same as this by AFSB. Additionally, the user and IP make similarly offensive comments to others, such as this and this. The user also instructs others not to edit-war, while, ironically, edit-warring. See for example this edit summary and this edit summary.

No comment on the IP, but based on technical data and behavior, RonaldMerchant is a match to the accounts in the archive. TN <b style="color:midnightblue; font-size:larger;">X</b> Man 14:09, 19 August 2011 (UTC)

At this diff I undid this problematic edit by JerryDavid89, identified as sock of AFolkSingersBeard; all three of the above reverted back to the former edit here; here; and here. Plus I just noticed the CMDC as first four letters of the "user name" and this sock was engaged in edits on a couple of articles I worked on. After his last ban, he vandalized my User page numerous times, created User names with my name in them, and sent lots of nasty emails. CarolMooreDC (talk) 16:06, 8 September 2011 (UTC)

It is obvious that these are Ledenierhomme, which is the same person as AFolkSingersBeard and those socks, which is the same as ZionistSufi and those socks. All of these should be combined into the category socks of Ledenierhomme. <small style="border: 1px solid;padding:1px 3px;white-space:nowrap"> nableezy  - 20:35, 8 September 2011 (UTC)


 * These should also be linked to User:REmmet1984, a confirmed puppeteer who is clearly another Ledenierhomme puppet. There are other confirmed puppeteers who are also very obvious Ldh puppets. RolandR (talk) 16:24, 9 September 2011 (UTC)

I have been harassed on my talk page by the sock User:Sillystuff84. In view of similarity of content I wonder if Bhny is another sock. Xxanthippe (talk) 23:54, 19 September 2011 (UTC).

 * The sock is already blocked per a previous checkuser, but I'll endorse to see where this falls. From the AFolkSingersBeard side, should be usable; from Ledenierhomme,  should be usable. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 02:43, 9 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Unless there is a more recently-active sock for Ledenierhomme than RFI2013, this is . AGK  [</nowikI>&bull; ] 11:25, 9 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Wow, I just realized I messed this up; I didn't mean for RFI to be listed twice. For AFolkSingersBeard, should be usable. As such I'm relisting for another CU. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 12:07, 9 September 2011 (UTC)
 * It's fine, I worked out what you meant to say :). This is still technically ; sorry I can't be of more use. AGK  [</nowikI>&bull; ] 12:32, 9 September 2011 (UTC)
 * I've this, in case another CU wants to take a whack at it. I fear I may be missing something, and I don't have time to check more thoroughly at the moment.  AGK  [</nowikI>&bull; ] 12:33, 9 September 2011 (UTC)
 * appears ❌ to RFI2013 and Cmdciac. RFI2013 and Cmdciac are matches.  TN <b style="color:midnightblue; font-size:larger;">X</b> Man  14:23, 9 September 2011 (UTC)
