All account names are structured as some adjective or prefix to the stem "Liam". All accounts create a sandbox article which is a copy of a reality game show articel, and then alter the article contents. All appear to be fantasy online reality game shows with the sandbox being used to host the game content. I actually ran out of sock parameters. Additional socks are:

 * I ✅ enough accounts to each other to confirm this is all one person. I've blocked them all for mass sockpuppetry. I'll work on nuking the fake articles tomorrow. Reaper Eternal (talk) 04:20, 19 September 2013 (UTC)

All names follow the same prefix and "Liam" stem as in the original SPI report. All have sandboxes set up for tracking fantasy reality game shows. In most of these instances, it is a fantasy version of Dancing with the Stars. the lasty two are different; one is Tae Kwon do, and the other hasn't quite been filled out.
