 * Suspected sockpuppets


 * Evidence submitted by Greg Tyler

The first four users have only been involved in articles surrounding Kideos, supporting its safeguard at deletion review and WP:Articles for deletion/Kideos.com. All appeared at about the same time and hold exactly the same beliefs. As for Ltapia, their only contribution has been to insult someone who deleted the Kideos article.

Self-endorsing CU to weed out the remainder of the sockfarm and to block underlying IP/range. MuZemike 20:38, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

Taken to WP:ANI for now. Nja 247 14:54, 9 August 2009 (UTC) First two (Ferrari and Rocketman) indef by Toddst1. Nja 247 07:46, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Clerk, patrolling admin and checkuser comments

this seems rather conclusive. Toddst1 (talk) 15:00, 9 August 2009 (UTC) -- Avi (talk) 06:52, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Conclusions
 * I would be inclined to hand out an indef block to every account listed in this report. Keep the SPI open for a little while to see if Duke81 is willing to respond. This is a blatant case. (If all accounts are blocked, they will seemingly have no trouble creating new ones). I added User:Ferrari888 to the above list since it was created by Ferrari2000, per his creation log.

 * Added two more new accounts to the list that have no contribs except in the AfD. EdJohnston (talk) 13:15, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
 * (See account creation log)
 * The following account edits from the same company as those above, so is either a meatpuppet or a sockpuppet
 * This account seems to be related via technical and behavioral evidence, but is not editing from the company but a local IP.
 * The following account edits from the same company as those above, but is most probably a different employee and is less likely a classic meatpuppet as a fellow employee with similar interests.
 * ❌ The following account seems unrelated.

I blocked all except for. If another admin thinks he should be blocked, I have no great objection. J.delanoy gabs adds 01:28, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
