Evidence submitted by Nja247
As noted by Luna Santin, there seems to be a concern over socking. I noticed the concern when blocking the account User:Left of Palin for edit warring. These accounts tend to edit the same article(s), particularly the one that lead to the recent 3RR block (Susan Hutchison). This does seem like WP:DUCK in most cases, though confirmation would be beneficial as well as determining further sleepers. Nja 247 07:46, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Disruption by He pled guilty on 14th and 15th of October, then by Left of Palin recently on article Dow Constantine.
 * Disruption by most accounts noted above on article Susan Hutchison over various periods of time.
 * Generally, consistency in articles that they edit, and editing pattern.

 * As noted above, it looks to me like these accounts have a common owner. Given the editing pattern, it's just barely possible there's some innocent story behind it, but the obvious answer is sockpuppetry. I'll tag this as /✅. – Luna Santin  (talk) 22:11, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

Conclusions
All accounts indefinitely blocked and tagged. MuZemike 02:44, 31 October 2009 (UTC)

Per the WP:DUCK test, this is a pretty clear case of a returning sock, but I'd like a clearer confirmation before blocking.SarekOfVulcan (talk) 20:46, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

Unusual team editing at Carly Fiorina. Both accounts were created on September 18, 2008 within five minutes of each other, both have a nexus of edits related to Supreme Court Justices. (It looks possible that both accounts may only have edited just enough to reach autoconfirmed status?) I suspect there may be more where these two came from, hence the CheckUser request. jæs (talk) 06:57, 28 November 2009 (UTC)

 * - Seems likely these two are sockpuppets, if there are more, it can't hurt to run a CU.  ceran  thor 02:22, 30 November 2009 (UTC)
