 * Suspected sockpuppets


 * Evidence submitted by TAnthony

"New" editor Leslie Roak (currently blocked for 24 hrs for incivility) has a pattern of cursing/insults in edit summaries/comments (this edit summary, this section heading/comment, this comment, this edit summary/merge tag).

Recently created Clau5dia8 has similar habits (comment, edit summary, edit summary], comment), has only edited articles/talk pages frequented by Leslie Roak (General Hospital-related), and seems to immediately have knowledge of Roak's interactions with others in this conversation.

Both editors are concerned with the ages of fictional characters from General Hospital: Clau5dia8 - Leslie Roak

TAnthony AniMate was created to blank my talk page and was then blocked; around that time, Roak had been frustrated by constructive comments, edits, and reverts of his work by admin AniMate and myself. A comment by "TAnthony AniMate" was cleaned up by Roak here.&mdash; TAnthonyTalk 21:43, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

Currently User:Leslie Roaker II, the declared public sock of User:Leslie Roak, is being used to edit while the master account is blocked.
 * Evidence submitted by AniMate

On August 3, Leslie Roak left a message asking User:Clau5dia8 to tag team with him on articles. Clau5dia8, despite not being an active editor, responded within 3 minutes. AniMate  draw  22:24, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
 * And User:Clau5dia8 makes another appearance today while Leslie and his publicly declared sock are active. AniMate   draw  22:52, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

✅ that Leslie Roak is:
 * Clau5dia8
 * TAnthony AniMate
 * Leslie Roaker II
 * AniMate TAnthony
 * BreakingDawn 90210
 * Twilight 90210
 * M623 and N623 (who are blocked as sockpuppets of the banned user Randy Jaiyan, though I haven't confirmed that, as it's old). Dominic·t 00:42, 15 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Conclusions
 * I dualtagged all accounts as both confirmed socks of Leslie Roak and suspected socks of Randy Jaiyan. All are indef blocked. Closing. NW ( Talk ) 01:00, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

Evidence submitted by User:AniMate
This appears to be another reincarnation of a long term blocked contributor originally known as User:Randy Jaiyan, though because of the passage of time User:Leslie Roak is the sockmaster that evidence can be checked against.


 * Within a week of creating the HD12-21-12 account he moved Eclipse (2010 film) to The Twilight Saga: Eclipse (2010 film). Blocked sockpuppets User:BreakingDawn 90210 and User:Twilight 90210 have numerous disruptive moves involving works related to the Twilight (series) of books and films. Here's the New Moon (2009 film) move log where a move to The Twilight Saga's: New Moon can be seen. Twilight 90210's move log and BreakingDawn 90210's move log, where both use "saga" in their Twilight related moves.


 * HD12-21-12 has re-uploaded three images without changing any of the tagging: SMcCall.jpg, an image also uploaded and edited by User:Leslie Roak. Silver90210.jpg an image edited exclusively by User:BreakingDawn 90210. McCord_Clark.jpg which was also edited by BreakingDawn 90210. A number of images uploaded by Leslie Roak and his socks did not have proper licensing or uploader information


 * Using wikistalk we can see HD12-21-12 overlap of edits with Leslie Roak, Twilight 90210, and BreakingDawn 90210.


 * The IPs listed above have edited Claudia Zacchara and related General Hospital pages. It was established in February 2008, that Randy had been editing from a dynamic IP address in Canada when his request for his autoblock was declined here. Since that time multiple IPs with the same WHOIS and Geolocate information have consistently edit warred and vandalized articles related to General Hospital and characters connected with Carly Corinthos multiple times a week. HD12-21-12 is likely editing from the same IP range.  AniMate   01:29, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

✅
 * This editor operates on a highly dynamic range; therefore, blocking of IPs for an extended period will be largely ineffective and can adversely affect other bona fide users. For IPs, block on behaviour for 12-24 hours after problematic editing. Leaving for clerks to block. Risker (talk) 04:51, 29 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks Risker. Did you perhaps mean Inuktitute instead of Inuktitude? NW ( Talk ) 14:36, 29 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Indeed, sorry for the typo! Risker (talk) 14:43, 29 November 2009 (UTC)
