Evidence submitted by Amalthea
There was an edit war (actually the continuation of the same edit war from two weeks ago) at Rated R (Rihanna album) a couple hours ago, that ended with me blocking both users, User:Dan56 and User:Vitorvicentevalente, and getting two autoblocks as well. After lots of discussion with both, I unblocked Dan56 and restricted him to not edit the article in question (User talk:Dan56), and lifted the autoblock as well. Six minutes later, User:Supremeclientele27 is created and. I really, really don't expect Dan to be clumsy enough to do that himself, but that's certainly no random, new account that happened to just butt in - I'd bet my bit that this is a sock account.

 * Seeing that Supremeclientele27 edited at 00:36:24 and 00:36:49, while Dan made edits at 00:35:10 and 00:37:09, I again stress that it's unlikely that the sockmaster is actually Dan, but am still convinced that this is not a new user, but an experienced one that acts disruptively by furthering the edit war.

– These accounts may be socks of User:Brexx or User:TrEeMaNsHoE, as they have edited a couple of articles that these two banned users have edited. –MuZemike 03:45, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

is, but I don't if any abuse was intended.

appears to be ❌. I can't find any obvious masters. J.delanoy gabs adds 06:35, 3 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Hmm, strange. Blastmaster11 left an edit once on Dan's talk page once, so Blastmaster might have watched the talk page. I'll talk to him, thanks J! Is it customary to now rename this page to reflect the findings? Amalthea  13:03, 3 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Not really. If it came back confirmed, but an older account was identified as linked, then it'd be redirected to the "master". For unrelated results, its usually just left as is. Nathan  T 14:46, 4 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Well it found a connection to another account, but it doesn't really matter. I hope Dan doesn't mind too much that I inaugurated "his" SPI page. :) Cheers, Amalthea  15:05, 4 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Closing as complete. Nathan  T 14:46, 4 January 2010 (UTC)
