Geosworld2011 was blocked on 17 November 2012 for "Disruptive editing: - posting large numbers of hoax articles". He admitted he was moving to User:Geosworld2012 which was blocked on 20 November 2012. I came across User:Finnbinn (created 2 Feb 2013) because it had the unusual red-linked category of Category:Users which I removed. The next user in that category was User:Geosworld2011, and I noticed that much of the text was the same, for instance the latter has "About Me - My Own TV Show, Geo's World was created in 1989 by Geo G. It was Geo's first shows. Then Geo made more shows. Like Green Bob, Neter City, Syo's World, etc. It was one of the brightest times ever!" and Finnbinn has "About Me - My Own TV Show, Finley's World was created in 2011 by Finley Small It was Finley's first shows. Then Finley made more shows. Like Satin City, Eddy's World, Team Finley, etc. It was one of the brightest times ever!". Seems pretty clearcut to me, I don't know if there are others out there.

 * It's a bit more than just a category - it's the whole user page from the off is an echo of Geosworld2011 (eg here ). As another comment - I notice Geosworld first claiming to move to User:174.60.38.138. Le Deluge (talk) 14:21, 11 March 2013 (UTC)

 * The 2012 account is already indeffed; I've tagged it. There's no way I can block Finnbinn based on the presence of a rather vague category. Closing. Basa lisk  inspect damage⁄berate 12:16, 11 March 2013 (UTC)
