was created half an hour after Anoraker was warned not to add unsourced information to articles and began editing the article on Xavier Pick, the same article for which Anoraker had been cautioned. At the very least Jamessmythark was a single-purpose account and activity ceased after four edits to the Pick article. Anoraker showed up on Jamessmythark's talk page to show moral support. IPs are very similar and have followed Anoraker around: Anoraker adds an unreferenced section to Gatley, reverts, 's only edit is to revert in support of Anoraker. Days later Anoraker makes unsourced changes to Robert Priseman article; shows up on the talk page supporting Anoraker's edits and using similar language (ie: overuse of exclamation marks, accusing editors of burying information, using the word "be" archaically; incidentally this last point bears remarkable similarity to  who was blocked for sock puppetry about a year ago). Anoraker appears to be using multiple accounts to back his position. Nev1 (talk) 14:26, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

Update was created 16:51, 31 May 2011  adding the same sort of unsourced information to the Pick article and using similar edit summaries (ie: en with an a space followed by an exclamation mark). Nev1 (talk) 16:11, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

 * - First, I've blocked 92.41.184.151 for 3 days for obvious socking. As to the two named accounts, it could be meatpuppetry (their edits aren't quite the same) so I'm endorsing for confirmation. I also just noticed that edited Robert Priseman, and we have a case for that user as well. Is there a connection between the two? (Side note: there won't be any comments on the IPs.) —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 16:04, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

 * No additional socks after checking. –MuZemike 22:43, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
 * After further checking, I decided to block 92.41.0.0/16 (which is pretty much known due to the IP disruption) for 2 weeks. –MuZemike 22:50, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
