Evidence submitted by Nikkimaria
Caro 08 is currently indef-blocked for disruptive editing. After her(?) block, Caro7440 was blocked by User:Franamax here as a suspected sock. Caro has now re-emerged as Caro100. Besides the obvious username similarities, this user's first edits include a request here to be able to add pictures to protected pages - Caro 08's initial warnings came for first repeated request for confirmed status for the same reason (see for example here, and she was latter adding pictures to Canada, a semi-protected article, against consensus (see discussion on her talk page). The IP in question visited the blocking admin's page to request unblocking here. Nikkimaria (talk) 20:43, 26 February 2010 (UTC)

 * This is as clear as it gets and I've blocked the latest (I just ignored the IP evading, 'cause they really don't seem to be cluing in). A checkuser could be useful to identify any more existing accounts. There are several other User:Caro"NNN"-type accounts created within the last two months with no edits to date. Or wait, does CU look at account creations when they don't have edits? Suddenly I don't think it does, in which case forget it... :) Franamax (talk) 21:28, 26 February 2010 (UTC)

 * I think this should be merged with Sockpuppet investigations/Caro 08, who would qualify as the "puppetmaster". Same pattern. CU maybe, just to prove it's a slam-dunk. Franamax (talk) 04:55, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

Evidence submitted by Franamax
Username similarity to previous Caro 08 accounts; Videotron IP address (in different netblock) same as orig. case; reg. name and IP confirm through edit summaries that they are each other and make same SPA edits; SPA interest is in adding various images to Canadian city articles. Caro 08 is indefblocked/banned. I've preemptively indef blocked Quebec100 and blocked the IP for one month. Checking here to see if I've done it right! Franamax (talk) 05:39, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
