Suspected sock master claims to be "retired" since June 27, 2013. Suspected IP sock edits with similar frequency and similar articles as sock master (NASCAR articles, video game articles, Motley's Crew) with similar looking edit summaries. IP sock traces back to Canada, suspected master identified self as Canadian. --Jtalledo (talk) 10:59, 26 July 2013 (UTC)

 * Where has the abuse of multiple accounts occurred? Reaper Eternal (talk) 11:14, 26 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Avoiding scrutiny, misusing a clean start (as the user claims to be "retired"). Note that the suspected sock master had been blocked before for copyright infractions and his previous contributions have been scrutinized due to usage of inappropriate sources, adding inappropriate content, etc. --Jtalledo (talk) 11:18, 26 July 2013 (UTC)


 * Closed. This IP is definitely him, but coming back with an IP (or another account) after retiring isn't forbidden. If he adds copyright violations, blocks will be applied to both the IP and the account. Reaper Eternal (talk) 21:00, 29 July 2013 (UTC)
