 * Suspected sockpuppets

Both seem to have a strong like for Joel Warady Group if they are recreating it so much.

This user's only edits have been to this page and to that now-deleted article along with its third AfD. It's been blocked as a sockpuppet. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 04:27, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Conclusions

Evidence submitted by ThaddeusB
The-Giant-Andrew's editing pattern is very similar to FunnyDuckIsFunny and was created the day after Funny was indef blocked. Commonalities include filing SPIs shortly after joining, AfD participation, user pages that indicate their name is ironic, and most notably involvement with Joel Warady/Article Incubator/Joel Warady.

User is possibly related to K.duan2009/72.54.210.49 (the original creator of Joel Warady). SNESECDADDON was certainly a sock of K.duan and is just being listed for completeness. I can't be certain Andrew/Funny are related to K.duan, but I think their relation to each other is quite WP:DUCKy and clearly neither is/was a new user. --ThaddeusB (talk) 00:09, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

 * Comment: From what I am aware of, K.duan2009 showed signs of being a promotional account with the purpose of advertising Joel Warady. The-Giant-Andrew (talk) 00:23, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

Conclusions
Very clear behavioural similarities. Blocked. Peter Symonds ( talk ) 00:29, 29 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Note: User:SNESCDADDON is listed as a sock of User:AndyCrogonka. The behavior of that account closely matches the behavior of Andrew/Funny so assuming that is correct, these are probably Andy socks.  (Plus there is the name overlap as well.) --ThaddeusB (talk) 01:06, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I'll look into merging them. Peter Symonds ( talk ) 01:10, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
