ducks, may be that the user just isn't aware of policies regarding uses of alternative accounts. SpitfireTally-ho! 20:36, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

 * No argument with that, but on the other hand "both" users' response was to delete the sockpuppet notifications from their pages, and now there are two new incarnations, User:Lion131996 and User:Lukebenward21, who together continued to go on about needing help at Portal talk:Featured content, and the name of the latter resembles the name of "Luke benward is so cute111". I've just erased their mischief on the portal talk page, and left them both notes asking them to leave that page alone and directing them to Wikipedia's help page and help desk. But still: we now have five accounts that probably all belong to the same person, and that probably needs to be wrapped up. —Largo Plazo (talk) 17:47, 27 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Guess what? In the last few minutes we've got another one: User:Hottguy111. —Largo Plazo (talk) 17:49, 27 February 2010 (UTC)

All accounts indefinitely blocked. I blocked them all as socks, but sock or not, none of them are here to work on an encyclopedia. Hold on tagging for now as oversight has been contacted. –MuZemike 03:38, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Conclusions

Confirmed socks:

As to the userpages, some may appropriately be deleted if they are revealing some information about the user, but not so much that it makes them fully identifiable. Risker (talk) 03:59, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

Evidence submitted by Dabomb87

 * Same editing pattern as before; posting random questions at Portal talk:Featured content (a popular posting place for other sockpuppets of this account )
 * Has created sockpuppet accounts with similar names (e.g. Germanshepherds99)
 * Myspacey comments (with no apparent intention to edit constructively) such as here, where user also edits talk page of another suspected sock without any evidence of prior interaction
 * User page of one of the socks indicates similar interests (e.g. actors Luke Benward, Logan Lerman) to those of sockmaster Dabomb87 (talk) 23:28, 2 March 2010 (UTC)
