 * Suspected sockpuppets

Three accounts created in October 2008 and an IP have added the same message to various pages, see Special:Contributions/Bandgjl, Special:Contributions/Wavgfkl, Special:Contributions/Thijhgf and Special:Contributions/131.104.138.157. Some of these are tagged as sockpuppets of ,and appear to be the same user as other accounts in the confirmed/suspected sockpuppet categories (although from Requests for checkuser/Case/Serafin I'm not sure if the connection between Serafin and these vandal accounts was confirmed). — Snigbrook 01:11, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

✅ with respect to the named accounts; no comment on the IPs. These accounts (probably sleepers) turned up as well: --Mackensen (talk) 15:30, 24 January 2009 (UTC) Tiptoety talk 19:25, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

These appear to be a bunch of sleeper socks of community banned User:Serafin; they have all been used to disruptively edit Geocentric theory, which I semi-protected. A checkuser would be useful to flush out any additional sleeper socks; these accounts have been used to harass editors and generally run amok. A look at the (short) contribution histories of these accounts establish beyond any question that they are all the same editor; a list of diffs should not be necessary.

To check for more sleeper socks. Verified contribs and agree that diffs are not needed.  Syn  ergy 01:29, 14 February 2009 (UTC)
