Evidence submitted by Tazmaniacs
Since september 2007, all of these single-purpose accounts have had one aim : disrupt Alexis Debat's page by all means possible, getting more elaborate with time. At first, simple blanking of the page, then repeated deletions or minor & major vandalisms; any change made to the page to revert his move has always been very quickly (usually the next day) reverted. As few users follow this page, and as I myself only watch it once in a while, this disruptive user effectively portraits Alexis Debat as he wants, censoring stuff, and without having the honesty of using a real Wikipedia account: Etc. etc. All this disruptive editing might be slightly stopped if this guy stopped using multiple single-account purpose sockpuppets.
 * & by  on 14 November 2008;
 * change of birth date in contradiction with source on 12 November 2008, minor change same day , POV-edits in favour of Alexis Debat , POV-edits inserted before reference to make one think that the BBC source support this false claim , changing "might" into "has" , deliberate misinterpretation of sources , changing qualification of Debat into a "respected expert" , removed notice of Alexis Debat on The National Interest entry ( (this is the sole & only edit by all these single-users accounts that was not concerned with the Debat entry, but remained tightly related to it), etc. by on 12 November 2008. Some edits are understandable and correct ( by Sigfried... on 12 November 08, or  by  on 11 Nov 08), which makes this guy's strategical disrupting all the most efficient, as he can not be readily identified as a vandal ; was however blocked immediately without any intervention of mine).
 * Deletion by  on 26 October 2009, and, same day, by , who a few weeks later, re-introduced an unsourced assertion supporting Alexis Debat's pretence of expertship debunked by medias ; an unreliable source was later added claiming he had published a book. Amazingly, this alleged book, Histoire secrète de la CIA, originally due for 2000, gives only 13 hits on Google, one of them, on FNAC French book distributor givint the name of Aurélien Débat and also making him the author of books for children or on outer-space life.
 * Similar deletion patterns on French Wiki, albeit much less frequent.

Self-endorsing for CheckUser attention on the following accounts:



All other accounts listed in the SPI case are, but I will be blocking those accounts per WP:DUCK. There should be some underlying IP here which probably should be blocked as evident by the long-term socking. CU can also pick up some sleepers given the frequency of the socking. –MuZemike 17:59, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

All accounts indefinitely blocked and tagged, with the exception of User:Roisoleil, which a fr.wiki admin will have to take a look at. –MuZemike 18:09, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

The three non-stale accounts are ✅. Also,
