All of the identified possible sockpuppets are accounts used only for vandalism, specifically targeting Ray Wert. Every single one of these users has made a vandalizing edit to Wert's article either on their first or second edit from their new account (FatBraff, Maddielaceyrox, Wertingthewert, Party-vi, Snapoversteer, 808morgan). They clearly have an axe to grind with this writer for Gawker, and the repeated vandalism is even more important to stop because it's a BLP. It's also worth noting that Wertingthewert, Party-vi, and Snapoversteer were all created within 1½ hours of one another on April 19, 2011 (especially after I reverted their edits, which signifies dodging). These accounts (and one IP) look and sound like a duck. Jrcla2 (talk) 05:06, 19 April 2011 (UTC)

 * and * are probably friends/associates, but probably not the same person. Party-vi and Snapoversteer are ❌ to each other and the first two, the other named accounts are  and no comment on the IP.  TN X Man  14:30, 19 April 2011 (UTC)
 * The article was protected and it seems to have gone down, so this may have just been some one-off vandalism. Relist if more things happen. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 02:46, 21 April 2011 (UTC)
