 * Jamesthomas55 has only made one edit, adding ".", so I'm leaving them alone for now. Jillguttman2007 and Trishtrash99 are now indeffed as obvious socks. ​—DoRD (talk)​ 22:31, 8 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Juliesimmons1987 was reverted at least four times by three different editors, but was never left a warning or an explanation for the reverts, so I have taken no action there. Also, the IP is stale enough that I have left it alone as well. ​—DoRD (talk)​ 22:35, 8 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Fair point, thanks QU TalkQu 23:02, 8 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Odd--Jillguttman2007 also was not left any warnings after 3 or 4R, until mine. Y'all, if you want us to do something you have to start warning these editors so there are no excuses. A quick look at the history made me suspect socking but I didn't have time to look into it, so thanks to whoever did start it. So many accounts, so many edits, for such a cause--sad, really.

I'm not sure if I'm doing this right. I've contacted a couple of editors/admins about it yesterday, but I'm not sure they have the time or inclination to deal with it, so I'm here to report more obvious sock-puppetry by Juliesimmons1987 making the exact same edits to the very same article.

It all started up again a couple of days ago when IP 65.88.88.248 makes this diff. I revert it a day later and another IP 65.88.88.252 (one digit difference from the previous IP) once again restores with this diff. I revert that about an hour later and they return again, this time as Brendahollyhp and make this diff

I have twinkle, but I'm not familiar with all of the various twinkle tags (I've tried in the past and usually end up using the wrong tags, etc), so I haven't templated any of these new IPs/usernames with any warnings (I was hoping the more experienced editors I contacted would take care of it). Again, I'm not familiar with all the procedural steps I'm supposed to take, so I hope I'm doing this right by reporting it here. --- Crakkerjakk (talk) 19:29, 19 May 2012 (UTC)
