A couple of hours after Duck was blocked, Engine came along making similar edits. In fact, Duck's last edit summary was the title of an offensive article created by Engine which has since been deleted. Automatic Strikeout  20:32, 22 October 2012 (UTC)

 * I'm requesting a checkuser. The name of the master in this case appears to be the name of a sock.  It would be useful to check for sleepers as well. Ryan Vesey 20:45, 22 October 2012 (UTC)

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments

 * and closed: both accounts are already blocked and the vandalism seems to be restricted to Helen Thomas, therefore detecting sleepers is little issue. Additionally, it seems clear from and the fact that David was able to bypass the autoblock to create ThomasTheHagEngine that proxies are in use here. As such, checkuser will serve little purpose. Since both accounts are blocked, closing this for now. Additionally, if this continues, page protection may be an option to consider. Regards, SpitfireTally-ho! 21:55, 22 October 2012 (UTC)
