Given the name, and the fact that another User (User:Jacknoveisback,backagain) was just blocked, and the fact that all of the edits I saw so far were between dubious and vandalism, seems like a pretty clear sock to me. Qwyrxian (talk) 14:16, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

I count at least over 40 vandalism-only accounts that have been created on this range – all of them seem to come from the same school and are engaging in the same juvenile vandalism. Otherwise, there is some overlap in user agents and XFFs used, but that could also be indicative that different computers (i.e. from different computer labs) are being used.

I have blocked all accounts that are vandalism-only accounts, knowing that I had to manually check each account as there are a few good faith contributors here and there across the range, so a hardblock on the range will not work here. –MuZemike 14:43, 4 October 2010 (UTC)
