These four accounts are all focused on removing apparently notable awards from the same three actresses' biographies. The IP has added a threat to the mix in the latest series of edits. Given the pattern of editing and how few edits these accounts have, I'll be there's an actual sockmaster (and possibly other socks) lurking out there that my brief investigation did not turn up.

 * In my original note I pointed out that these were all socks and the I'd been unable (on my own) to find the actual master. Thanks to this investigation, it's now clear that User:Rexalex52 was the master and that this cadre of socks (including User:Jamesreadsbooks) was created to edit war on Natalie Portman. - Dravecky (talk) 17:48, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
