 * Suspected sockpuppets


 * Evidence submitted by treelo  radda

Komodo lover, a long term vandal, recently reappeared as but was stopped before causing more trouble. Prior to that on a related article's talkpage, an IP address refactored some comments made by others. Shortly after, Jspyster1 seemingly identifying as this IP address changed a signature left by the IP address to that of his own. That in itself is innocuous but the IP address editing the talkpages of previous KL socks which is one of KL's modus operandi (see WP:KL) created a suspected link between Jspyster1 and Komodo lover for me. Jspyster1 is a long term user in good stead but could be a good hand editor for Komodo lover so the check is to root out probable sockdrawers and confirm that Jspyster1 is or is not Komodo lover. treelo radda  23:17, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Right, so this the second time he's switched continents leads me to believe he might be using proxies as he's jumping around the world too frequently to be physically in the places the IP checks say. treelo  radda  15:53, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

 * ✅ Godzillastar7=Jspyster1=74.194.217.28.
 * Komodo lover is stale.
 * If the three above are his socks, they've changed continents since the last RfCU was run. -- Versa geek  15:14, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
