JoMontNW has been permanently banned from Wikipedia for putting the same false and/or un-neutral edits on the same articles over-and-over. The latest sockpuppet of his is USA11Ju. With this particular puppet, he again reverted the same nonsense back on the Good Morning America article just like he did over a week ago. Truth be told, he’ll be doing the same thing again until this sockpuppet is blocked. In addition, the user profile page of USA11Ju says “Hi, I love tV and History. I love reading. I love reading Wiki Pages”, which was the exact same thing that JoMontNW put on his profile page. Coincidence? I don’t think so. It’s absolutely clear, USA11Ju is a sockpuppet of JoMontNW, and something needs to be done immediately because this banned user continues to Wikipedia as his playground for his repeated vandalism nonsense.

Ten days ago (February 16) an anon using IP address 174.44.29.160 reverted edits to versions identical to that of user JoMontNW only seconds after he was blocked the first time around. Just today (February 26) another anon using IP address 72.160.12.176 commited the same crime in placing the same identical un-neutral information that JoMontNW is guilty of putting for over a week-and-a-half now. Upon further investgation, I found out that these two IP addresses are from the exact same geographical location; Kalispell, Montana. This gives me reason to believe that banned user JoMontNW hails from this location, and does all his dirty illegal work on Wikipedia from there. Please help by stopping this banned user from using these two IP addresses as sockpuppets to carry out his controversial work on Wikipedia, and perhaps put a range block in this particular area.

Yet again, this is repeated violator/permenantly banned JoMontNW up to us usual no-good b.s. on Wikipedia, with his latest sockpuppet Jeff90SD. All of the actions are the same from this repeated editing nonsense over-and-over, to the almost identical information on both the “user page” and “talk page”. The only reason why his nonsense was not reverted sooner was because I was on vacation for four days and did not have access to a computer, let alone Wikipedia. Please refer to past history reports on JoMontNW for further information. Fourviz (talk) 13:58, 10 March 2011 (UTC)

Comment: I have observed this sock behavior in pages on my watchlist. Some of this user's previous and current socks are listed at Category:Wikipedia sockpuppets of JoMontNW. In the last few days, obvious socks (per WP:DUCK, using similar usernames and making the same edits to the same pages) have included: User:OceanBlue13, User:SkyBlue13, User:JoMaxUSA, User:JoMontSW, and User:EWUSAJO. All of them can be seen in action at this history page, for example:. Here's another example involving two of them plus an additional sock, User:JoSwanNW: --MelanieN (talk)  19:02, 21 March 2013 (UTC)

 * Peridon, what is the evidence for your claim of prolific socking? I see one editor who flamed out two years ago, coming back to vandalize recently. That alone is insufficient reason to run a check. Someguy1221 (talk) 00:36, 21 March 2013 (UTC)
 * - Someguy1221 (talk) 00:36, 21 March 2013 (UTC)
 * This may need to be merged with or moved to Sockpuppet investigations/JoMontNW. They've been pretty active lately, creating two or three socks per day. Usual targets are Today-related articles and a few others, many of which have been semiprotected. It would be a good idea to check for any sleepers and/or a blockable range. --Bongwarrior (talk) 18:26, 21 March 2013 (UTC)

 * I've added several accounts. It's possible that I've missed one or two. Also, as long as we're here, I'm a little curious about, who was briefly blocked for edit warring and personal attacks. The behavior doesn't seem to be a match, but two of the socks that I've listed above, OceanBlue13 and Greengrass13, restored edits that Nyyfnfrvr had made to the Kevin Youkilis article. --Bongwarrior (talk) 19:18, 21 March 2013 (UTC)


 * - I trust bongwarrior's judgment. There does seem to be significant editing similarity. Especially with the creation of bongworrior I think this is fairly clear a sockmaster, and a sleeper check and confirmation this is just one group would be good.
