registered just after was warned for creating inappropriate pages on their talk by  and myself. The sock account followed up by vandalizing both of our userpages with personal attacks: 1 2 3 4. My understanding is that vandals usually do not vandalize users' pages at random; they need a provocation, such as those users deleting their pages. Without any other edits, I believe that the only way this chain of events would make sense is if Kdogmcdale was a sock of Klxdale. I also note a distinctive similarity between their usernames.

(User:Kldale is a bit stale, but I still wanted to mention it.) Both users are continuing the tradition of creating handball-related hoaxes through WP:AFC. See this, as well as this article resubmission and the username similarity. &mdash; The   Earwig   @  19:06, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

Kldale indefinitely blocked and tagged. I'm leaving the sockmaster and the IP alone. The Kldale account was before the fact, and the IP hasn't edited since the sockmaster's block, which means that the autoblock probably nabbed the IP. MuZemike 20:50, 16 November 2009 (UTC)
