Something really strange going on here. Carl Person was nominated a couple of days ago by User:Carlfuckingperson. One of User:DogsHeadFalls' first edits was in support of that AFD (the only vote) which I speedily non-admin closed as pointy and the nominator was blocked for a username vio.

Today, Carl Person was nominated again by User:Mis2erP119 but this time with the same incorrect title formatting as two other nominations on the log... by User:DogsHeadFalls - this one and another that was speedy deleted as a duplicate.

So either a new sock-puppet of User:Carlfuckingperson has showed up to nominate the article again and happened to use exactly the same incorrect formatting as User:DogsHeadFalls (the only other person to support the original AFD) or they are all the same person. I hear ducks in the distance. Stalwart 111  04:21, 4 June 2013 (UTC)


 * Wow, about half of those are already blocked for vandalism, personal attacks and username violations. This edit suggests there's an IP address to throw in there too. I'll add it for posterity above but I imagine there's not much point. Stalwart 111  12:31, 4 June 2013 (UTC)

 * All socks blocked, closing. Although Ricksantorum2012 is the oldest account, the username really isn't suitable to be called sockmaster, so I'm going to WP:IAR and continue to consider DogsHeadFalls the master. King of &hearts;   &diams;   &clubs;  &spades; 21:37, 4 June 2013 (UTC)

Back again with another AFD of the same style for the same article - Articles for deletion/Carl Berner (supercentenarian) (2 nomination). Note the identical nominating mistakes that where the hallmark of the previous socks. Stalwart 111  03:21, 15 June 2013 (UTC)

 * - - Blocked per WP:DUCK, endorsing for sleeper check given history. King of  &hearts;   &diams;   &clubs;  &spades; 05:03, 16 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Without diffs to show the basis for the accusations, I cannot run a check. --(ʞɿɐʇ) ɐuɐʞsǝp 12:34, 16 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Diffs aren't really possible when it's page creations. These are the pages: Articles for deletion/Soledad Mexia (2 nomination), Articles for deletion/Carl Berner (supercentenarian) (2 nomination), and Articles for deletion/Vasily Yakovlev. -- King of &hearts;   &diams;   &clubs;  &spades; 12:39, 16 June 2013 (UTC)
 * In which case, the filer of the case is supposed to say "Diffs aren't possible because it is page creations" and then provide the links that you did. Now that I have the relevant evidence, I can confirm that there are no unblocked accounts that I can see. --(ʞɿɐʇ) ɐuɐʞsǝp 12:44, 16 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Sorry, my mistake - I had assumed there would be referral to the recent (now archived) investigation. I wasn't aware they were more stand-alone than that. Apologies! Stalwart 111  12:49, 16 June 2013 (UTC)


 * Closing then. King of &hearts;   &diams;   &clubs;  &spades; 12:45, 16 June 2013 (UTC)

Back again with an IP address, making the same edits to the same articles and AFDs as various DogsHeadFalls socks. Stalwart 111  18:22, 17 June 2013 (UTC)


 * I've added a bunch of IP addresses from the same range with the same editing habits, article focus and writing style and another username (same features) with the same  fucking  naming style.


 * Requesting a sleeper check for any accounts linked to the above IP range/username. Stalwart 111  00:33, 18 June 2013 (UTC)


 * + more from range 74.75.2xx.xxx. Stalwart 111  00:38, 18 June 2013 (UTC)

Another obvious sock-puppet who can't help himself but nominate Carl Berner (supercentenarian) for deletion. Again. The same prose, same inability to format AFDs, same "(3 nomination)" style. Diffs are few and far between because most contribs (like last time) are new AFDs. Stalwart 111  05:59, 26 July 2013 (UTC)


 * Added an IP from exactly the same range as previously used editing the same articles and answering questions/contributing to discussions as the account. Diffs: 1 and 2. Stalwart 111  06:12, 26 July 2013 (UTC)
