User:David Greener account was created on 7 February, 2012 at 16:54 (see ) and disruptive vandalism and trolling started on the same day (see user contributions and diff's ) and more vandalism edits were done on random days until eventually David Greener was finally blocked for vandalism on 29 September, 2012 (see ). Account User:AzureBannana was created on 1 November, 2012 at 18:53 (see ) and made the same kind of vandalism edits as David Greener had made. Favonian spotted and blocked User:AzureBannana when AzureBannana had made an edit to the user talk page of User talk:David Greener. Then account User:ThePinkSquid12 was created on November 4, 2012 at 10:00 (see ) and it's very first mainspace edit was to revert Favonian where User:AzureBannana had made some disruptive edits (see page history of iPhone Dev Team), thereafter ThePinkSquid12 made some test and random unhelpful edits on various other articles. Quite Interestingly User:ThePinkSquid12 puts up on their user page that they share an IP address with User:David Greener (see and ). On November 21, 2012 at 15:21 user account User:Redguitar96 was created (see ) and made their very first edit on their user page by commenting with this statement "I share an IP with ThePinkSquid12, but I forgot my password for pinksquid12" (see ). Moreover Redguitar96 made some edits on Hidden message by a reverting vandalism edit which was just made 6 minutes ago by dynamic IP address User:86.145.250.94 which geolocates to British Telecommunications in United Kingdom (Possibly indicates that this person is on this IP range of this ISP). Most of the edits done by these accounts show a typical behavior where they provide a good faith edit summary and the edit is actually a bad faith disruptive vandal edit. On another note User:David Greener once posted a feedback on the Moodbar feebdback dashboard with this comment "I get to vandalise pages!!😃😃😃😃😃😃" (see ), and both the user accounts i.e User:David Greener and User:ThePinkSquid12 have a disruptive filter log with repeated vandalism attempts. This person is unfairly using the advantage of dynamic IP addressing and making more and more Sockpuppet accounts to avoid block, detection and probably has an intentional desire to purposely vandalize, troll and disrupt Wikipedia in any way Possible. I therefore recommend a full CheckUser Investigation to shows us all that these all accounts are Indeed Sockpuppets of each other and to find any any other/possible sleeper accounts this person may be having.

Hello, I am Redguitar, pinksquid and azurebannana. I want to tell you that David Greener was created with intent to vandalise. When that was blocked I created Azurebannana; also with malicious intent. That was blocked for sock puppetry. Then I decided that vandalism was foolish and stupid, and I sincerely apologise for my vandalism. I reverted azurebannana's edits, but soon I forgot my password and I hadn't set a recovery email. I was forced to create Redguitar96, and I want to let you know that I will not use Redguitar for vandalism or disruptive edits. I am deeply sorry for this and pray that you will not block me.Redguitar96 (talk) 16:36, 25 November 2012 (UTC)


 * The above statement was rather put into perspective by . The guitar has been unstrung. Favonian (talk) 17:09, 25 November 2012 (UTC)

 * - I've already blocked ThePinkSquid as an obvious sock, but endorsing for CU to find a sleeper or two. Redguitar appears to be admitting they are the ThePinkSquid as well. Dennis Brown -  2&cent;    &copy;   Join WER 13:07, 25 November 2012 (UTC)
 * The recent turn of events reinforces my gut instinct that a sleeper check is warranted. Dennis Brown -  2&cent;    &copy;   Join WER 17:26, 25 November 2012 (UTC)
 * The named accounts are leaning confirmed, but our joker seems to have started from this mobile phone and sweeps are unlikely to be useful over the highly busy and dynamic range they come from.
