Either one of two things have happened here. One, this person for some reason forgot his password 6 times within a 3-year period and was forced to create a new account each and every time. Or two, this person has tried to deliberately cover up his tracks when someone gets suspicious. In either case, all the accounts are clearly the same person, and they all have been used to engage in POV-style edit-warring involving removal of sourced content and entire sections of text, dating all the way back to August 2007. All accounts indefinitely blocked and tagged. –MuZemike 00:06, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

The contributions, deletions and demeanour of the users and ip addresses listed should be checked against the entry Peter Holmes à Court. The users listed have demonstrated a history of deleting referenced and verified/verifiable material or replacing it with non-referenced material. All of the users listed appear to work in the majority if not exclusively on the entry Peter Holmes à Court. In general the users don't have a talk page and/or do not respond to attempts to negotiate and discuss. This entry has previously had a sockpuppetry investigation conducted involving the usernames James1168, Nimbus880, Simon Manifold, BrearRabbit, Dallas3737 and Berkinstock. That investigation can be found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/James1168/Archive The user Cookmyway and the two ip addresses appear to be engaged in exactly the same activities as those others in the original sockpuppet investigation. Berkinstock was originally banned as a sockpuppet but was allowed access by the investigator MuZemike on condition of agreeing to use one account only in the future.

The users below were blocked as sockpuppets as a result of this sockpuppetry investigation: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/James1168/Archive The user Berkinstock was also blocked as a result but was but was allowed access by the investigator MuZemike on condition of agreeing to use one account only in the future. However the user Cookmyway has demonstrated the exact patterns of behavior as the other sockpuppets which were blocked as result of the previous investigation, and the two ip addresses also appear to be connected. The contributions, deletions and demeanour of the users and ip addresses listed should be checked against the entry Peter Holmes à Court.

There isn't any reason to check given and there is also the fact that they all pass WP:DUCK. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 23:36, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Cookmyway and the IPs have been blocked. Nimbus880 remains unblocked as there does not seem to be sufficient evidence linking them to the others. Worth keeping an eye on though. Peter Symonds ( talk ) 20:35, 31 July 2010 (UTC)
