 * User appears to already be blocked; I would still suggest looking for sleepers. -  Jeremy  ( v^_^v Tear him for his bad verses! ) 20:08, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

All accounts now tagged with the sockmaster being User:LadyLashes; Two other clear socks (already blocked) also discovered when looking through the deleted pages' histories. All registered accounts already blocked. I am leaving all the IPs alone as they have not edited in a couple of days (presumably because they cannot create pages, and that all involved articles have been salted).

See Sockpuppet_investigations/LadyLashes. Just recreated a whole bunch of phony articles deleted in connection with these other user accounts. —Largo Plazo (talk) 16:33, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

Single-purpose IP user 86.142.206.53 suddenly showed up to remove the db-repost template. —Largo Plazo (talk) 16:55, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

Only action taken here was tagging User:Tia911 as a clear sock. As far as the IP is concerned, it was probably nipped by the autoblock on Tia911. The other accounts (which I removed because they were already handled in the previous SPI case) have already been blocked. MuZemike 02:16, 4 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Conclusions

Evidence submitted by 75.69.0.58
The user and the IP have created, recreated or extensively edited templates and pages for the same nonexistent band Lady Lashes as the confirmed sockpuppet User:LadyLashes. 75.69.0.58 (talk) 14:11, 22 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Lady Lashes (band), Upper Level, Template:Lady Lashes and Template:Lady Lashes Albums are the new pages. 75.69.0.58 (talk) 02:20, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

 * Can you provide specific evidences? OhanaUnitedTalk page 01:57, 23 October 2009 (UTC)
 * I echo OhanaUnited here. These edits aren't squarely fixated on Lady Lashes; that is, they focus on other pages as well. MuZemike 22:36, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

Creating a hoax farm around Heather Vesey (Singer-Songwriter) (odd title, you might think, but Heather Vesey was salted after previous creations by LadyLashes). The IP added a Heather Vesey reference to another article. After Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:Break-Into-Music2000/Heather Vesey, I blocked Break-Into-Music2000, but are there any sleepers on this or other IP ranges?

 * - I doubt we'll find anything, but I'll endorse for sleepers. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 01:53, 30 June 2011 (UTC)

✅, along with:



I've moved User talk:SaturdayMight1000/The Saturdays' third album to the Article incubator under Article incubator/The Saturdays' third album, as I'm not sure about it's inclusion or not, and so that others can work on it freely. –MuZemike 08:10, 30 June 2011 (UTC)

More of the long-running Heather Vesey / Lady Lashes / Break Into Music hoax, compiling fake discographies in user pages for these non-existent and many-times-deleted artists. As these hoaxers are persistent, and Wendy84334 has been operating as recently as 5 April, a check for sleepers would be useful. JohnCD (talk) 09:49, 8 April 2012 (UTC)

No need to reopen this SPI, but this is just for for the record. I discovered that this person had been writing their own versions of a number of Wikipedia articles in User:Wendy84334 and User:Freedom3463 user space, which I seem to remember previous socks did too. They started them, edited for a while, and just left them - they can't be used, because the real articles started off better anyway (in the examples I've examined) and have been improved in parallel and are now more up-to-date. One of these user space pages was being edited by an IP last week, so it looks like this person has not gone away. Anyway, I've deleted them all as G6... We need to do a check for the same kind of thing next time -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 16:01, 10 April 2012 (UTC)
