 * Suspected sockpuppets

The listed accounts have a very similar username structure and their userpages (which appear to be spam pages) are also very similar. SoCalSuperEagle ( talk ) 09:22, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

 * I have blocked each of these users as advertising-only accounts and deleted the promotional material from all the user pages. -- Ed (Edgar181) 13:20, 14 December 2009 (UTC)


 * I nuked and blocked BusinessSetupInDubai Sebaal and BusinessSetupInDubai Semaar. Those two are not on the same IP as each other...one was created after the other was blocked. Need some CU love to look for a range here. DMacks (talk) 13:55, 14 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Added BusinessSetupInDubai, tagged and bagged. DMacks (talk) 14:09, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

 * Looks like the stream of new accounts ended, probably no need for a CU. Come back if it continues, and request checkuser using the template. Nathan  T 22:25, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

Evidence submitted by Terrillja
Same exact username/socknames as a sockmaster. Asking for CU to find underlying IP if possible, as blocking the sockmaster did not stop them a few weeks ago.-- Terrillja talk  06:50, 27 December 2009 (UTC)

No unblocked socks, and rangeblocks won't help. J.delanoy gabs adds 21:37, 27 December 2009 (UTC)
