 * It was evident when I opened this a month ago. Master account edited Jose Fadul - an article about himself. New account says "This is Prof. Jose A. Fadul". User:FadulJoseA edits mushroom articles, as does new account (Exs: , , , ). Both edited chess-related articles (blocked account edits here, new account here, 5 Feb to 9 Feb). WP:ANI section about this is here, where general opinion was that the username was obvious enough, but wait for checkuser.  Grsz 11  18:37, 24 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Also see the previous invesigation here.  Grsz 11  18:39, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

 * I need relevant diffs here. Exactly what is the behavior the other socks had? I'm not seeing it by a quick look at the contribs... articles edited are very different. ——  nix eagle email me 19:30, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Can a clerk please notify the reporter, regardless I plan to request close of this case in 3 days if no further evidence in the form of diffs is provided. As it is the two accounts don't seem to have any similar edits or even similar topic areas. ——  nix eagle email me 18:05, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
 * more info already requested of the reporter. Unfortunately, that only elicited a link to the previous case (and we already have that link!). I have left a further note for the reporter explaining that we expect reporters to take the time to provide evidence, and that their saving of 10 minutes would result in 2-3 hours of admin time being required to deal with the case. Unless additional evidence is provided, I would draw a line under this case in 24 hours. Mayalld (talk) 19:01, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Um, hello, I did post diffs.  Grsz 11  20:01, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

please tag/archive ——  nix eagle email me 00:35, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
 * FadulJoseA is pretty much a WP:DUCK, and should probably be indef blocked, and the 3 month block on the master reset. All the other socks are already confirmed and blocked. Mayalld (talk) 19:09, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for telling us that, I'll just extend the 3 month block to 6 months though. As a clerk please don't worry about telling us this stuff. Let the reviewing admins come to their own conclusions. :) E.G. if you want to express an opinion on what the administrators should do, do so as a user and not as a clerk. ——  nix eagle email me 00:32, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Accounts blocked, I've extended the block on the main account to 6 months. ——  nix eagle email me 00:35, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
