 * Suspected sockpuppets


 * Evidence submitted by Gonzonoir (talk)

See also Requests for checkuser/Case/Fronsdorf. The name of this user is very similar to Fronsdorf, and his edit focus - rugby league and union players - is also consistent. I came across MFronsdorf yesterday when he began adding uncited information to Patrick Wilson (actor), a BLP (he broke 3RR over this yesterday). I see from his talk page that he was engaged in the same kind of multiple reversion without edit summary usage at several rugby league articles at the same time. This morning, User:Kelly, Chris made an edit identical to MFronsdorf's edits yesterday at Patrick Wilson (actor). This username is obviously very similar to that of User:Kelly, Christopher, who was last year identified as a sockpuppet of User:Fronsdorf.


 * Update, 17 March @10:59 UTC: Kelly, Chris is active currently, making the same edits MFronsdorf was carrying out last week, so it would be good to get some action here. Gonzonoir (talk) 11:04, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

 * I would support an indefinite block of MFronsdorf and Kelly, Chris based on this information. I suspect that Fronsdorf plus both of these editors are socks of based on my own past experience, but don't have time to trawl through SSP, SPI, AN3, ANI etc to confirm all the details. Fronsdorf himself was indef blocked by MBisanz in October, 2008. Londo06 has been free to edit since 12 December, 2008 but has not done so. EdJohnston (talk) 19:29, 14 March 2009 (UTC)
