WP:QUACK, most especially at White culture, even making the same mistake of redirecting to the wrong page again with the initial change. IP address being used for WP:BLOCKEVASION as sockmaster is indef'd for violations of BLP policy. Keri (talk) 16:22, 21 June 2015 (UTC) Identical behaviour:
 * 1) master puppet
 * 2) master (immediately spots mistake) puppet (same)  Keri (talk) 19:48, 21 June 2015 (UTC)

 * . In order to facilitate and expedite your request, please provide diffs to support your case. Please give two or more diffs meeting the following format:
 * 1) At least one diff is from the sockmaster (or an account already blocked as a confirmed sockpuppet of the sockmaster), showing the behaviour characteristic of the sockmaster.
 * 2) At least one diff per suspected sockpuppet, showing the suspected sockpuppet emulating the behaviour of the sockmaster given in the first diff.
 * 3) In situations where it is not immediately obvious from the diffs what the characteristic behaviour is, a short explanation must be provided. Around one sentence is enough for this.  Vanjagenije   (talk)  19:33, 21 June 2015 (UTC)
 * (and a funny one, really). An admin should block the IP for three days.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  20:48, 21 June 2015 (UTC)

 * 1) was indeffed on 26 May 2015 for persistent violations of BLP. The account  was created on 31 May 2015.
 * 2) Both accounts argue the definition of Atheism on Talk:Atheism: "Atheism= believing god does not exist. That is all." "atheism is the rejection of theism, or belief in at least one God".
 * 3) Both accounts are determined to redirect White culture to Culture of Europe:
 * 4) Both accounts home in on Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, Atheism, British National Party, List of fallacies and List of prisoners with whole-life tariffs. Block evasion has also been previously carried out using.
 * 5) Both accounts appear to be white supremacists of some kind, with InterPersonalAutomaton even attempting to create his user page with the (non-existent) template {National Socialist}.
 * 6) Reading the history of Talk:InterPersonalAutomaton demonstrates the repeated same disruptive editing in the same venues and multiple warnings that led to the orifginal indef of Equivocasmannus.
 * 7) Very obvious WP:DUCK, very obvious WP:BLOCKEVASION. Keri (talk) 10:40, 22 July 2015 (UTC)

Isn't it shocking to think two separate people would object to a racist page being linked to every time someone inputs "white culture" in this encyclopedia?

I can't think of an explanation, except sock-farming. You cretinous fools.InterPersonalAutomaton (talk) 14:57, 22 July 2015 (UTC)

 * - evidence number 3 is especially convincing.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  10:57, 22 July 2015 (UTC)
 * , don't tag users as socks. Leave it to admins and clerks. It is very WP:UNCIVIL to do so.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  15:47, 22 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Blocked indef as an obvious sock of Equivocasmannus (but really WP:NOTHERE even in the unlikely event that they're not), whether it's worth CU for sleepers is a decision I'll let someone else make. Black Kite (talk) 16:25, 22 July 2015 (UTC)
 * No history of creating large number of socks. No need for sleepers check. Closing.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  16:30, 22 July 2015 (UTC)

 * 1) WP:DUCK.
 * 2) Most-recently detected sock was indeffed 22 July; this account was created 23 July.
 * 3) Editor cannot resist returning to their previous venues: Jack the Ripper   Malmedy massacre   Jack Straw
 * 4) And the smoking gun on White American:
 * Makes edit: (summary "remove pseudo-historical tosh")
 * Realizes edit was wrong place and fixes: (summary "wrong section removed")
 * Latest sock makes edit: (summary "obscure europhobic section that adds nothing. one wonders what would happen if "african slavery" were linked to on the page about african-americans")
 * Realizes made same mistake again, fixes: (summary "wrong section")
 * This is identical behaviour to their editing at White culture:
 * master puppet
 * master (immediately spots mistake) puppet (same)  Keri (talk) 12:11, 28 July 2015 (UTC)

 * No reason givden for requesting a CU. The master is, and there are no confirmed puppets to compare against, although if there were a reason to check for sleepers, a check against suspected puppets might be reasonable.--Bbb23 (talk) 16:19, 30 August 2015 (UTC)
 * I think this is WP:DUCK. Although he made just two edits, those are typical for the master. Please, indef the sock.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  21:13, 8 September 2015 (UTC)
 * per request. Mkdw talk 01:20, 9 September 2015 (UTC)
