 * Suspected sockpuppets

Demilealouise was a sock of someone else to begin with and she created List of Tracy Beaker Returns characters - I've been watching it for a long time because I knew she would return - I wanted to to find the ones that edited both Tracy Beaker and Soap opera subjects. However, what I have found instead is that on the most part - many accounts are being created with the sole purpose of editing both List of Tracy Beaker Returns characters and Tracy Beaker Returns. They are being created one after another, each performing similiar edits to these two articles. I think at the least these two articles should have indef protection because well.. I started to gather some of the IP's - but there would be no point because it is a classic case of hopping on the same range, using the broad 86.  Rain  the 1  19:06, 18 February 2012 (UTC)

It could be possible that Demilealouise is a sock of. Both users share an interest in young actors and television characters. - JuneGloom    Talk  20:55, 19 February 2012 (UTC)

 * The evidence says that Demilealouise was a sock of someone else, but who? I can't figure it out. Anyway, all of these accounts are somehow linked to that article, but I wonder if we're looking at sockpuppetry or just rampant meatpuppetry. Endorsing to clarify. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 16:27, 19 February 2012 (UTC)
 * ✅ the following are the same:
 * These two are also the same:
 * Everything else is a mess of maybes, possibly-s, and sortas. I don't think they're the same person though. TN X Man  16:36, 20 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Blocked one account each in the confirmed groups. Beyond that this is enough of a mess that I can't really see blocks, assuming it's widespread meatpuppetry. I suppose we can handle protections or whatever here, but this might be better fielded elsewhere. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 04:57, 23 February 2012 (UTC)

These two users are 100% related. The user is making edits to pages that I revert, then switch to the other account to bypass the 3RR. Clearly disruptive and won't listen to reason. GSorby – Ping   12:17, 15 April 2012 (UTC)

 * Add 92.28.64.95 to the list as they are using that IP to edit war - which is typical of the editor named as the master account. It does not take much to realise these are the exact same people operating the accounts. Their association with minor child characters in soap operas is there, but the common theme is getting the non-notable character of Amy Barlow her own article, separate from the List of Coronation Street characters (2004). Demilealouise always wanted this article - and even submitted this Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Amy Barlow. They have resorted to uploaded works clearly copyrighted by ITV as their own work - examples - File:Amberasamy.jpg, File:AmyBarlow.jpg and File:Amybarlowelle.jpg. So in addition we have a disruptive account on Commons from this editor. Rain  the 1  13:09, 15 April 2012 (UTC)

I've blocked the accounts already on here indefinitely for being socks because it was so blatantly obvious by the edits and the names that they were. However I'm not admin on Commons so I can't do anything there.--5 albert square (talk) 13:42, 15 April 2012 (UTC)

Everyone's blocked, so I'll mark for close. TN X Man 18:06, 16 April 2012 (UTC)
