 * Suspected sockpuppets

First: Charlesquebec was banned on French Wikipedia for sockpuppeting. Genevieve2 and the IP listed here (based in Quebec) were identified as connected to Charlesquebec. See fr:Wikipédia:Faux-nez/Charlesquebec. After the latest bit of this French investigation concluded on 24 February 2012, Vieux supporteur de hockey féminin was created on 9 March. Proof is somewhat difficult because of the clunky automatic language translation that is used, but Charlesquebec was disappointed with the lack of friendly response from Wikipedia editors in the same way as Vieux supporteur de hockey féminin. In this this talk page post, Charlesquebec decries the loss of his "daughter" Genevieve2 from Wikipedia. Here Genevieve2 gives her "dad" an award. Vieux supporteur de hockey féminin also expressed disappointment with Wikipedia's unwelcoming response, "not even a small word of support". Vieux supporteur de hockey féminin also got angry at User:Fred Bauder and posted a sarcastic award in two places in support of Genevieve2. Genevieve2 announced that the IP address was already causing problems with accusations of socking at French Wikipedia, but that it was open to several users. All of these accounts appear to be connected closely. Regarding edits to articles, this addition by Vieux supporteur de hockey féminin used the same unusual reference style that was introduced to the article in this edit by Genevieve2, where the reference for a list goes "Reference[x]". The IP editor added a wikilink to the article 2012 CIS Women's Ice Hockey Championship just a half hour before Genevieve2 added more wikilinks. Genevieve2 posted this plaintive and sarcastic note to a project page and one hour later the IP posted another plaintive and sarcastic note to the same page, signing as fr:Utilisateur:Bon hein, alors euh... who was identified as a sockpuppet of Charlesquebec on French Wikipedia. Charlesquebec suggested a merge action in May 2011 but no action was taken. On that same article, the IP made some changes related to the merge idea and added a blurry photo that had just been uploaded by Genevieve2 and used nowhere else: File:Aréna du CEPSUM.jpg; the same photo that Genevieve2 posted to User talk:LauraHale two days later in a goodbye message. In this Intersect comparison, Charlesquebec and Vieux supporteur de hockey féminin are shown to have been involved in the same 9 articles. Similarly, this Intersect comparison shows Charlesquebec and Genevieve2 to be involved in 58 of the same articles and also the same three projects and three templates. Here is all four of them shown in mzmcbride's Stalker tool. Binksternet (talk) 16:59, 19 March 2012 (UTC) Binksternet (talk) 16:59, 19 March 2012 (UTC)

 * I'm going to follow the fr.wiki blocks, but setting the IP block at 3 months for now. T. Canens (talk) 08:52, 20 March 2012 (UTC)
