 * Suspected sockpuppets

Sockmaster has been indef blocked for repeatedly creating pages on hoax/fake streets and other geographical features in London (I see at least 13 speedy deletion taggings for his articles.) These were allegedly "parody" streets; I never quite figured out his motivation. After he was blocked, User:Charlespur Street opened an account, by his own description so called after "Charlespur Street, a fictional street in London, which is a parody of Cockspur Street. As you can probably tell, I love cartography and I edit streets in London. I am, along with Luca Perricone, a co-founder of the Royal Oratorian Cartographers' Society (ROCS)." ("Luca" is part of the sockmaster's username, and the "Royal Oratorian Cartographers' Society" is a non-existent, or at best [WP:MADEUP]], entity he repeatedly tried to create a page for, insisting that it was "a TRUE SOCIETY").
 * Evidence submitted by  Glenfarclas   ( talk )

Of User:Charlespur Street's twelve edits, two (1, 2) involve removing block-related information from the sockmaster's talk page.  Glenfarclas  ( talk ) 21:44, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

Two other edits involve adding to the DAB page Vile the nonsense/vandalism statement, "Vile is a particularly common word said by Luca Perricone, founder of the Royal Oratorian Cartographers' Society." The sockmaster had made the same edit in April. Additional sockpuppet User:Lucadilly has done the same; "Lucadilly" was also the name of a fake street that the sockmaster tried a half-dozen or so times to create an article for.

Pretty clearly related, once you combine the names, edits, and the fact that one of them went around removing the SPI notices from all three. Blocked and tagged. TN X Man 14:12, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
