 * While investigating possible socking, I found that the above accounts are ✅. This appears to be rather juvenile good hand/bad had editing. A few brief diffs to show a behavioral connection as well: signing each others guestbooks. They seem to have an interest in the teahouse:, , , , and so on. They also seem to report each other to AIV, request username changes, etc. Tiptoety  talk 18:45, 6 October 2014 (UTC)
 * We've met in this teahouse thread. I note that SkaterLife is the oldest account but the way the blocks are currently laid out, it would need correcting. Do you want us to forgo changing the master and leave as is in this case ?
 * Yes, please leave it as is. I've already made an agreement with the user that once the block on their master account expires, they can continue to edit under . Thank you, Tiptoety  talk 21:48, 6 October 2014 (UTC)
 * In that case, closing.


 * The main account which was, and since renamed as , has now been blocked indefinitely, and I've hard blocked the IP for 3 months. PhilKnight (talk) 04:23, 30 October 2014 (UTC)

 * The article wasn't always a sub-page. As 220 of Borg and I realized the article existed, maybe was deleted, then was userfied. So all those editors in the history may not be pernicious ones, especially not one from 2015. If new editors edit that subpage, I think that's a reasonable tip-off.

 * Paganturtlegod was flat vandalizing (parody) so I'm indeffing along with all accounts except the stale one. Closing.

Writer freak is using the same type of garish signature MirrorFreak had. Same type of juvenile editing. Same type of good hand/bad hand editing on each other's pages. Jamesarmistead25 impersonated me here. Writer freak took elements of my user page here. A lot of small things that add up to something fishy. Neil N  talk to me 02:49, 15 May 2015 (UTC)

 * Writer freak and Jamesarmistead25 are the same user, but I can't see a technical connection to Amanda Smalls or any known sockpuppets. Yunshui 雲 水  12:14, 18 May 2015 (UTC)

 * It's a duck alright. Whether it's Amanda Smalls is not for me to say, but blocked it is. Not sure if the case should be closed at this point. Favonian (talk) 18:06, 28 May 2015 (UTC)
 * In view of Neil's remark above and this discussion, I'm closing the case(s) and tagging the socks. Favonian (talk) 18:20, 28 May 2015 (UTC)
