 * Suspected sockpuppets

HurricaneTyphoonCyclone was blocked by Golbez after being identified as a Sub Vandal as he had been wrongly changing windspeeds in Tropical Cyclone articles (For example: When the article said 40 kts and was sourced, he would change it to 50kts or 100). After being blocked he continued editing under the username Vinavtc hwoever it took untill yesterday to identifed as HurricaneTyphoonCyclone after Juliancolton saw these edits and subsequently blocked him. However when i came on this morning i saw that HTC Vietnam had set up an account and had blanked HurricaneTyphoonCyclone user page as well as the fact that his userpage is set up exactly like HurricaneTyphoonCyclones one, I am now presuming that HTC stands for Hurricane Typhoon Cyclone and would like a checkuser to be done to flush out anyother accounts he may or may not have.

HurricaneTyphoonCyclone was blocked for disruption several months ago, and I suspect has a sockfarm. I've already blocked a few WP:DUCK IP socks, and I suspect the above accounts are also related based on behavioral patterns. Both accounts have similar or identical personal info on their userpages. – Juliancolton  &#124; Talk 22:09, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

I don't think Hurricanekiller1994 is a sock of HurricaneTyphoonCyclone as his edits are mostly good faith, and his editing hours suggest he's from the USA or Mexico, and I think Jpuligan12 is from the Philippines, and HurricaneTyphoonCyclone is from Vietnam.

Sorry if this is a bit late but i will procede anyway: Jpuligan 12 had an argument with one of HTCs socks on the PTS during TD 20 which User:Cyclonebiskit and myself had to sort out. Which begs the question if hes a sock of HTC why argue with yourself? which in my mind rules out Puligan being a sock of HTC. I cant comment on Hurricanekiller1994 though as i havent really checked him out. Jason Rees (talk) 13:37, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

 * I'd already started on this based on a private request from JC - results should be posted soon. Hers fold  (t/a/c) 22:13, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

Based on technical information: Additionally, all three are in different countries; the data support Darren's comments above. The behavior, however, could still use some explanation; one thing I'm curious about is why HTC was creating Hurricanekiller's user page. Hers fold  (t/a/c) 22:37, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

 * Conclusions
 * Well, I guess the technical evidence pretty much conclusively establishes it. Closing the case as no action taken. NW ( Talk ) 00:19, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

These comments seem to be very simular to comments made by a confirmed sock of HTC. So i would like a Checkuser to be done as HTC was disrupting the encyclopedia changing sourced windspeeds etc and it wouldnt surprise me if their are more.Jason Rees (talk) 19:15, 22 October 2009 (UTC)
