 * Suspected sockpuppets

User:Tesla1231 registered an account and immediately started reverting my recent edits, fairly indiscriminately. They received warnings including a hand-tailored one asking what they were doing; after vandal3 had been delivered they stopped. A couple of hours later, User:Dealia29 registers and immediately starts reverting my edits to the exact same articles. This may or may not have anything to do with the SPAs who have been spamming several articles including Root cause analysis, but I have no proof for that other than my gut feeling and the fact that Root cause analysis is one of the first articles where they have reverted my edits (which consisted of spam and copyvio removal). Anyway, the editing behaviour of Dealia29 is rather obvious ducking. bonadea contributions talk 19:39, 30 August 2012 (UTC)

Added User:Cakeboss92 who turned up while I was creating this SPI. Ho hum. --bonadea contributions talk 19:40, 30 August 2012 (UTC)

Also adding User:Tabletopper323 who, if related, was in fact the first account. I still think there's another, older account who is the real sockmaster, because it seems unlikely that a new editor would know how to find a specific user's edits and how to revert them... besides, I'm not sure why a new user would target me, but that's probably just coincidental. --bonadea contributions talk 19:55, 30 August 2012 (UTC)

 * The following are ✅:


 * Tiptoety talk 01:45, 31 August 2012 (UTC)
 * All blocked. Tagged Br808 as the master as that seems to be the oldest account. Jafeluv (talk) 06:57, 31 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Also renamed the case page accordingly. Seems uncontroversial but do let me know if that's something only clerks should be doing... Jafeluv (talk) 07:04, 31 August 2012 (UTC)

One edit only which was to once again revert the edit reverted by previous socks. bonadea contributions talk 20:31, 2 September 2012 (UTC)
