Pattern of edits closely matches that of recent edits by Bjcplinkstays and other sockpuppets. While a case could be made for the edits, that particular question is a long-running debate in WP:BEER that needs to be resolved in its own right first. mwalimu59 (talk) 21:52, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

Morennmore appears to be the account that first started all this spamming. Bjcplinkstays' (listed above and already blocked as a sock) editing was mostly just restoring some of Morennmore's edits.

Like Bjcplinkstays, Scensaless's editing pattern is almost identical to that of Morennmore, mostly just restoring Morennmore's edits. After Scensaless' edits were removed, they were then restored by Mademangg (listed above and already blocked as a sock). --Ronz (talk) 01:38, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

 * I'm confused as to why this wasn't found by the last checkuser, but let's try to see if we can't nail it down this time. NW ( Talk ) 01:41, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
 * for CU attention, merged SPI report created right before closing to here. A check needs to be done on the socks listed under the "additional sockpuppets added" section. MuZemike 16:57, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

✅ All accounts listed =. All blocked indefinitely. J.delanoy gabs adds 17:09, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
 * could you please check these accounts against and his socks? There might be some overlap; some of these sockpuppets were already tagged as sockpupppets of Jojojohnson2. NW ( Talk ) 17:23, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

From a technical standpoint, they appear to be ❌, but their editing patterns are very similar, so I don't know. J.delanoy gabs adds 17:35, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

He is known to jump IPs and even ISPs, so the idea that the results come back unrelated is not unlikely. That said, the above accounts are Jojojohnson2, there is no doubt in my mind. Tiptoety talk 17:45, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Retagged all as blocked sockpuppets of Jojojohnson2. <b style="color:navy;">NW</b> ( Talk ) 02:11, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

More of the same. Once again, it appears that the same person started a new account to restore previous edits. --Ronz (talk) 16:45, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

Note: The spammed links have now been blacklisted. --Ronz (talk) 16:50, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

Colldiction is editing beer-related articles. User page says "My name is BJ," and user talk page says "last name is CP." Tckma (talk) 19:11, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
