Picking up old arguments for Carolduncanshusband, pushing for the minority Oxfordian theory of Shakespearean authorship, looking to right the great wrong that we're accepting that a text labelled "by Shakespeare," considered by contemporary sources to be by Shakespeare, and written in most reliable sources as being by Shakespeare is by Shakespeare, all while failing to pay attention to anyone explaining the guidelines.

 * . I've added another account that I think matches, and I'm adding a CU to find out if this is the only sockfarm or if this is part of a larger set, to confirm these accounts, and to find sleepers. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 03:54, 2 January 2012 (UTC)

Carolduncanscousin and Carolduncanshusband have already been used as sockpuppets by this user and the new ID CarolDuncanslover is making the identical anti-WP:CONSENSUS changes to the articles on "Merchant of Venice" attempting to establish Edward DeVere as the "real" author of Shakespeare's plays. See https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_Merchant_of_Venice&curid=37713&diff=483004534&oldid=482225691 and https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=All%27s_Well_That_Ends_Well&diff=prev&oldid=483004903 WickerGuy (talk) 02:56, 21 March 2012 (UTC)

Same unsourced assuredness that the Oxford theory is God's truth, conspiracy theories about university departments covering things up, as with prior socks. Ian.thomson (talk) 16:31, 23 November 2012 (UTC)

Identical edits to all previous known socks. Oxfordian dogma applied to page Oxfordian theory of Shakespeare authorship  Paul B (talk) 16:31, 23 November 2012 (UTC) Moved from misnamed case. -- DQ  (ʞlɐʇ)  19:56, 24 November 2012 (UTC)

I opened a sockpuppet request for this user almost simultaneously on the same grounds Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/User:HenryVIIIyes — Preceding unsigned comment added by Paul Barlow (talk • contribs)
 * And EthelMermanknows has been blocked for a week for creating a sockpuppet account imitating me (indication that this is a sockpuppeteer we're dealing with here), just as HenryVIIIyes has with Paul Barlow in the past (pretty much proving short of a confession that this is who we're dealing with here).
