Kj650 is a prolific Red Desk troll with a propensity for creating new accounts. He simply waits out the autoblock of his prior account, and starts a new one. Wdk789 is an account created two days after the most recent sock of Kj650 was blocked, and for the past few months has displayed the same sort of trolling behavior at the reference desks. The history comparison between Wdk789 and the prior known accounts looks kinda ducky (asking short, easily answerable questions at WP:RDS, often with 1-word titles. Just asking for a checkuser to confirm and to root out any sleepers which may have also popped up since the last checkuser.  See also this discussion for some background and additional evidence. -- Jayron  32  03:32, 15 April 2011 (UTC)

I agree that contributions from Wdk789 have detracted from the value of the Reference Desks. Not one of his edits can be offered to mitigate this serious criticism. It is likely that User:Lufc88 and User:Joshuad95 are also current sockpuppets of Kj650. See contribs and contribs. Dolphin ( t ) 04:24, 15 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Also Tom12350, although that account hasn't been used since 30 May 2010. See contribs.  Dolphin  ( t ) 07:22, 15 April 2011 (UTC)

 * - Likely; CU to confirm, and also maybe a sweep for sleepers. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 03:55, 15 April 2011 (UTC)
 * is ✅, the other two appear to be very much ❌. TN X Man  11:29, 15 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Wdk789 is blocked and tagged. -- Jayron  32  12:23, 15 April 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm inclined to block Lufc88 per WP:DUCK, but it hasn't edited in awhile, so I'll leave it alone for now. I think we're done. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 00:05, 16 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Two sockpuppets of Kj650 were blocked on 23 February 2011. See WP:Sockpuppet investigations/Kj650/Archive.  The first edit by Lufc88 was on 24 February 2011.  Dolphin  ( t ) 06:40, 16 April 2011 (UTC)
