An editor at 205.155.225.1 has been carrying on the longterm edit war started by blocked user Geoffrey100. The edit war is over what regions are served by what radio stations in the various parts of the San Francisco Bay Area. Binksternet (talk) 04:43, 13 December 2011 (UTC)

Code0210 and Geoffrey100 share the very unusual interest in radio and television station ephemera, and Milpitas Square shopping center, and Milpitas, California. Geoffrey100 was edit warring about whether various radio stations were part of the San Francisco Bay Area. Binksternet (talk) 23:55, 17 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Also: Geoffrey100 was interested in Template:San Francisco Radio and so is the IP. Binksternet (talk) 23:58, 17 January 2012 (UTC)
 * And newly added user with the same interests: TVBS2000. Binksternet (talk) 00:34, 18 January 2012 (UTC)

User:Geoffrey100 is blocked as an unresponsive editor who never bothered to use a single article talk page, or his own talk page, despite making a number of contested changes to radio station articles and radio station templates in the San Francisco Bay Area. Geoffrey100 was also interested in Chinese language topics, and in the Milpitas, California, shopping center called Milpitas Square; an article he created. User:LimitsOutx continued edit warring for Geoffrey100 and is now blocked as a sock. IP 24.5.202.48 shares the interest in Chinese topics, Milpitas Square, and SF Bay Area radio station articles and templates. User:KGO810 was going along pretty well from his start in March 2012, making non-controversial edits, but after moving from radio station articles and templates he showed his hand by jumping into Milpitas Square, then by returning to his old ways in these two edits which throw San Jose into the San Francisco template. I think the three editors are the same person. If KGO810 wants to continue editing he must return to his Geoffrey100 account and request an unblock. He also has to stop trying to reclassify radio regions without gaining consensus. Binksternet (talk) 02:21, 31 December 2012 (UTC)

 * - All of the accounts except KGO810 are for CU purposes, so any findings will have to be based on behavioral evidence. ​—DoRD (talk)​ 02:35, 31 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Same methods and topics, duck block indef for registered account and two weeks for the dynamic IP. Tagged and templated.  closing. Dennis Brown -  2&cent;    &copy;  Join WER 06:28, 1 January 2013 (UTC)

KSL1160 is interested in the same unusual and unconnected articles as was Geoffrey100. KSL1160 appeared on 31 December 2012, the exact same date that the previous sockpuppet report was filed against LimitsOutx and KGO810, which were both blocked for duck behavior. The common interest in Milpitas Square and Hong Kong hip hop ("Softhard" by KSL1160, "Softhard" by Geoffrey100) is unusual enough to connect KSL1160 to Geoffrey100 but the practice of making many small edits to radio station articles in the San Francisco Bay Area is the capper. This guy is certainly Geoffrey100. Binksternet (talk) 16:44, 31 March 2013 (UTC)

 * Striking resemblence, yes. Same articles of interest, same type of edits, and the username similarity with the latest sock KGO810 (referring to KGO 810 kHz and KSL 1160 kHz) seals the deal. Blocked per WP:DUCK. Jafeluv (talk) 00:29, 5 April 2013 (UTC)

Geoffrey100 focuses primarily on radio stations and radio templates, especially ones near San Francisco. He is upset that the two cities of San Francisco and San Jose, California, are not combined into one radio reception area. The a-thru-e series of obvious Geoffrey100 socks have already been blocked, thrown into the washing machine along with other socks at Sockpuppet investigations/D62943, which I think was a mistake in filing, not a mistake in blocking. Those socks should be listed here! Geoffrey100a blanked the user page of Geoffrey100, which is a strange act for a new account's fourth edit. The other three of his edits were on radio templates, especially Template:San Francisco Radio which has been a focus of the previous socks of Geoffrey100. Geoffrey100e also hit a radio template, trying to delete the San Jose template, and he redirected his user page to Geoffrey100 which is basically admitting he is a sockpuppet of Geoffrey100. KTKA1000 made changes to the template SF radio directly following Geoffrey100a. KTKA1000 has made a bunch of disruptive changes, mainly attempts to redefine the boundaries of the San Francisco Bay Area. For instance, he removed some locations from Template:SFBayshopping, and he also removed some locations from Template:SF Bay Area. This last was directly after another removal by Geoffrey100c. I think KTKA1000 must be blocked as a Geoffrey100 sock. I would like checkuser to look for sleeper accounts, as this editor is very persistent. Binksternet (talk) 14:17, 12 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Just added User:KRTA610, who is beginning to pick up after the deleted edits of previous socks. Binksternet (talk) 14:30, 12 May 2013 (UTC)

 * - Unquestionably follows the same pattern of edits, and names are similar to previous socks. Editor has a history of mass puppets, flushing out any sleepers is warranted as well. Dennis Brown - 2¢  - © - @ - Join WER 15:31, 12 May 2013 (UTC)
 * KRTA610 and KTKA1000 are ✅ matches to each other and to previously blocked KSL1160. They are, however, on the different side of the continent from the Geoffrey100[a-e] socks. T. Canens (talk) 15:39, 12 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Without more information, to which I'm not privy, it is hard to draw a conclusion on the change in geolocation. Yet these two are linked to a blocked editor, and editing in the same areas, so I've indef blocked as a sock of someone, very likely Geoffry100.
