Evidence submitted by Floquenbeam
This editor has been inserting hoax and BLP violations with multiple accounts and IP's for over a year and a half. The hoax centers on Sylvia Herpolscheimer (likely fictitious), and a (definitely) fictitious school associated with her. BLP violations consist of a mix of true and false information inserted into articles, either unsourced, or sourced to IMDB only. A slightly disorganized summary of their contributions is at User:Floquenbeam/Jerrysanders2009.

Googling the name Sylvia Herpolscheimer uncovers a web of related pages, but they all come back tied to the name of the suspected sockpuppeteer. Appears to be trying to perpetuate a meme.

I have blocked the accounts I've found, and together with User:Jæs have removed the hoax and BLP violations made by the accounts and IP's found so far. But I'd like a Checkuser to flush out any other socks doing the same that we may have missed. --Floquenbeam (talk) 14:19, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

. The two suspected socks listed are, but the named sockmaster is not, and the BLP concerns, together with the likeliness of sleepers, is IMO sufficient for a check. Tim Song (talk) 18:18, 26 March 2010 (UTC)
