Probably not worth doing a checkuser, although some socks of this particular user do pop up quickly after the last one, but the pattern of  falls easily into the pattern of  who was fond of creating fake peerage articles, that were designed to generate a genealogy for a particular person, or to be more accurate, two people, who also cropped up in the articles. All fake, of course. created Duke of Hampshire tonight, a dukedom that doesn't exist, except in fictional works, which bears a remarkable similarity to the deleted Earl of Hampshire article, created twice by  - you might spot the similarity of names - and, both of whom were Hertfordshire1234 socks. (Just for the record, I had dealings with both of the socks, so that's how I was able to spot the new article created tonight within seconds of clicking Special:Newpages. )  FlowerpotmaN &middot;( t ) 23:24, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

Obvious sock of, especially in duckishly recreating the Duke of Hampshire article, created recently by. It should be noted of course that there isn't, nor has there ever been a Duke of Hampshire; the article is a complete and utter hoax and has been deleted as such in the past.

Engaged in BLP vandalism of Constantine Phipps, 5th Marquess of Normanby and Marquess of Normanby. Use of "Elliott", "Oakwell", "Belinda" and "Godman" in usernames and edits is consistent with original sockmaster. ,, , , ,. Given the proliferation of accounts some time after the original SPI, would appreciate a checkuser (if any of these are non-stale; 123pikjikjuikj is the latest) to flush out sleepers.

Two are phone IPs, which can change by the minute, the other are broadband IPs, which can change as quick, since all are dynamic. WP:RFPP is going to be the solution here, long term semi-protection for BLP violations. Dennis Brown - 2&cent;    &copy;   Join WER 02:31, 4 August 2012 (UTC)

Obvious sock adding "Elliott James Andrew Godman" (the significance of which is explained in earlier sock reports above) to articles previously vandalized. No need for checkuser as this seems to be the first sock in a while. FlowerpotmaN &middot;( t ) 15:14, 28 September 2012 (UTC)

Similarity of name to many Herts1234 socks. Different targets than normal but a similar pattern of edits i.e. inventing members of the nobility this time - Elliott James Andrew Peter King-Godman, Viscount Ockham - note similarity of name with contribs of blocked sock Peerage123windsor adding Elliott James Andrew Godman Phipps, Earl of Mulgrave to articles NtheP (talk) 22:47, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
