 * Suspected sockpuppets




 * Also possibly the same person, but not certainly:


 * (Another likely one is Yargh! I be a pirate!, but since the account made only one edit, and that in December 2011, it is not very relevant.)
 * (Another likely one is Yargh! I be a pirate!, but since the account made only one edit, and that in December 2011, it is not very relevant.)


 * User compare report Auto-generated every hour.
 * Editor interaction utility

There is no doubt at all that all of these are the same sockpuppeteer, except perhaps HurricaneBlahg and Yargh! I be a pirate!, and all except Yargh! I be a pirate! are blocked indefinitely. However, I would be very grateful for a checkuser, both to check for sleepers or other as-yet undetected accounts, and also so that someone who is both a checkuser and an administrator can see whether there is any chance of an IP block to stop further account creation. Unfortunately, all the accounts will be stale as far as checkuser is concerned, apart from Bimbo Bread is Spanish, I like airports, and HurricaneBlahg, but since this sockpuppeteer has been vandalising from time to time since March 2011, I think it will be worth checking to see if there is any possibility of taking action.

Apart from a generally similar style of vandalism, the hallmarks of this sockpuppeteer include:
 * (1) Vandalism on a small group of articles all relating to one small area in North Derbyshire, most commonly Tupton Hall School:, , , , , , , , , , but also Hasland Hall Community School: , , , , , , Hasland: , , , , Hasland Junior School: , , , , , Tupton: , and a few others;
 * (2) vandalising various other articles relating to a larger surrounding area of North Derbyshire and South Yorkshire:, , , , , , , ;
 * (3) Vandalising the article Train:, , and occasionally other edits relating to trains;
 * (4) gratuitous remarks about being Canadian, or other edits relating to Canada:, , , , , , ;
 * (5) very similar fatuous trolling unblock requests once blocked:, , , , , , , , , , . JamesBWatson (talk) 12:18, 5 February 2013 (UTC)

 * ✅ =, but HurricaneBlahg appears to be ❌. No apparent sleepers and, unfortunately, no range block will be possible. ​—DoRD (talk)​ 14:04, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Unfortuantely, that's what I expected, but thanks for checking. Ready to close. JamesBWatson (talk) 15:38, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
