The user Cedric Sands, blocked extensively and permanently in ptwiki for sockpuppetry and vandalism in the pt:Olavo de Carvalho article, apparently turned his sights to the article in enwiki after he realised he wasn't getting anywhere over there. In order to do that, he used different identities to spread false information and influence other users in the deletion discussion of the article on this Wikipedia. Therefore, I request a verification in these accounts in order to confirm these irregularities. RafaAzevedo msg 22:25, 27 March 2011 (UTC)

Cedric Sands has exactly one edit on this wiki, to the AfD for the article which was deleted. I'm not sure I see the abuse here, but I can be convinced. (Without having done a check, it looks like an obvious WP:DUCK case to me.) And, of course, a CU will not connect users to an IP address; a block there would have to be based on WP:DUCK.

 * - Duck it or don't. And quick note, on AFD Cedric Sands = 189.29.109.56. -- DQ  (t)   (e)  11:49, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
 * So first, I've moved this case to show Cerme as the master, as it's by far the oldest and most used. I've also blocked Cedric Sands per WP:DUCK, but I'm going to leave the IPs alone as they haven't really been used in any significant capacity in months. Relist if socking continues. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 14:38, 3 April 2011 (UTC)
