 * Suspected sockpuppets

Both have a penchant for making (identical) widespread, undiscussed changes to rugby league biography infoboxes then edit warring over them, plus the obvious similarity in name and behaviour (i.e. feigned innocence and apparent disregard for the fact they're going to be caught). --Jeff79 (talk) 15:59, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Evidence submitted by Jeff79
 * User:Lando09 removing the photo caption from an Infobox rugby league biography and adding "current club" and "club number" fields as well as edit-warring over it
 * User:Londo06 removing the photo caption from an Infobox rugby league biography (as himself and as a sockpuppet ) before edit-warring over it, and arguing for the inclusion of "current club" and "club number" fields . It should be noted that User:Londo06, User:CorleoneSerpicoMontana, User:Alexsanderson83 and User:Fronsdorf were all found to be the same person.
 * Me mentioning the connection to Londo06 as a sockpuppet and six minutes later:

Pretty sure I chose the name Lando before you did that sir. Lando09 (talk) 16:16, 21 September 2009 (UTC)

 * Conclusions

Not sure we can do anything here. It's clear that Londo = Lando, but the Londo06 account stopped editing long before Lando09 was created. Further, the evidence of socking and edit warring was all under the previous name of this account. If there is a problem with the editing, they should be brought up at a different forum.

Evidence submitted by Jeff79
Checkuser required for a user who has previously been blocked for abuse of sockpuppets and appears to be at it again. The brazenness of this new sockpuppetry might mean that he/she's figured out a way to avoid detection by checkuser (a home location in addition to an office?) as he/she's been busted before. But he/she does tend to behave quite irrationally, so who knows?


 * User:Lando09 continuing the blocked User:Londo06's previous obsession with removing captions from rugby league players' infoboxes: &


 * User:Londo06's obsession as himself before being blocked for it: &, and after: ,  &

A breif looking over of both user's histories/talkpages (and their edit histories)/etc. will show the dramas they've managed to create so far. I'm also not the first to notice. In addition here's a previous attempt at getting this user sorted out. And also some related concerns raised by other editors. I'm sure other similarities such as complete... retardedness (I'm sorry, I tried to think of another word) in replies/arguments won't go unnoticed.--Jeff79 (talk) 20:18, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

Comments by accused parties
See Defending yourself against claims. I'm not sure I have to defend myself against this individual. I have attempted to enter into discussions with this user and met nothing but hostility. I have stressed to them that I am not Londo, but in fact Lando. This fella Jeff79 doesn't seem to be interested in anything but a stream of bilious attacks against me. I'm not sure what the heck I'm meant to have created in terms of dramas, I really don't. I keep to myself, largely due to this bloke always being on my back for apparently having an offensive name and being from a country he doesn't like.This deal is getting worse all the time.

 * How is that my obsession. I disagree with captions, but I largely spend my time tidying up ESL articles; with the sorting out of positions, getting clubs to fit on one line, getting references and links, creating new player articles. Captions come very far down my list, and I haven't even raised the issue at a central location, an indication of what I feel on the subject, not important enough to worry about, with captions added to articles I have edited on going unquestioned by me.This deal is getting worse all the time.

 * I don't work in an office, that's about as much personal information you are going to get from me.This deal is getting worse all the time. (talk) 20:56, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

 * Given Londo's history of socking and blocks, I've blocked both master and sock indefinitely. Tim Song (talk) 01:15, 24 April 2010 (UTC)
