 * Per SUL util, this is the same RepDom809 on Commons, who is a blatant sock of MRDU08, reuploading the same copyvio images. See for example, the author on the recently-reuploaded File:Flag of the Muncipality of Puñal.PNG.
 * I believe a CU would be helpful considering Category:Wikipedia sockpuppets of MRDU08 and Commons:Requests for checkuser/Case/MRDU08, which indicate this user creates sleepers.
 * MRDU would be evading a community-based block per his/her block log and User talk:MRDU08, which came following this ANI discussion: Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive537.

✅ RepDom809 = MRDU08, also sleepers and. All have been blocked & tagged. I have also the most current underlying IP for 3 months -- Versa  geek  16:16, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

Sigh... I think we both just checked the same thing. Versageek missed one, I think: Anyway, I confirm this too. ++Lar: t/c 16:20, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
 * (I blocked and tagged)

For completeness here's the list I found all SHOULD be in the cat but I didn't check thoroughly. ++Lar: t/c 16:25, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Another one?
 * The contributions of seem to match MRDU08's areas of interest. — Andrwsc (talk · contribs) 04:45, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
 * This user dates back to 2008. Are you sure about this ID? Typo perhaps? if not, nothing we can check. Barring more info, OK to reclose. ++Lar: t/c 18:44, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
 * The contributions are precisely the same type as MRDU08: flags or coats of arms of Dominican Republic municipalities—all claimed to be self-made, none with any source or reference, with suspicions of original research (see Talk:List of Dominican flags etc.—and work on Miss Dominican Republic beauty pageant articles. If it's a stale account, then it might not be used again as a sleeper, but perhaps still appropriate to tag as a suspected sock and block it. — Andrwsc (talk · contribs) 19:00, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Sure, if it passes the duck test, it could be blocked, and if it's as you say, probably should be. But there's nothing to check via CU. ++Lar: t/c 19:27, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Understood, just wanted to log that account on this page so it was dealt with appropriately. — Andrwsc (talk · contribs) 19:30, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

looks to be another sock, and also asserted as MRDU08 on the talk page. Contributions are four months old; not sure if that is stale for checkuser, but should be tagged and blocked anyway, in my opinion. — Andrwsc (talk · contribs) 20:11, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Found another
 * I see that it is already blocked. — Andrwsc (talk · contribs) 20:14, 25 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Ask Peter before closing please.  Sy  n 23:30, 26 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Note to clerks, Lar requested this to be unclosed and unarchived, so please hold off closing until a functionary gives the nod. By the way, any updates on this case? Peter Symonds ( talk ) 11:28, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

As there have been no updates, I'll just go ahead and close this until it's needed again. Peter Symonds ( talk ) 13:41, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

 * Suspected sockpuppets

Most of the MRDU08 sockpuppets have been newly created after the indef. block of the main account to edit in a focused topic area, the Miss Dominican Republic beauty pageants, and I have been blocking them on sight. The Mairol account was created almost a year ago, but the majority of edits have been in the same or related topic area. I am not certain that this is another sock, so I'd like another set of eyes and perhaps a checkuser to confirm or not. — Andrwsc (talk · contribs) 18:41, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Evidence submitted by Andrwsc


 * Addendum: if MRDU08 is stale, then perhaps CU against two of the more recent socks, and . — Andrwsc (talk · contribs) 03:45, 29 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Added User:AltamiraPP718 to this request. — Andrwsc (talk · contribs) 21:41, 1 September 2009 (UTC)


 * And added User:24.190.185.164. I had blocked this IP a few times already for being a MRDU08 sock, but it might be a good idea to get this confirmed by another set of eyes and possibly Checkuser. — Andrwsc (talk · contribs) 21:48, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

Identical main area of interest as MRDU08—expanding/updating/creating articles on pageants related to the Dominican Republic, using the same forum references I remember MRDU08 constantly using (foro.univision.com), and uploading non-free photos, also a habit of MRDU08. Every previously-existing page Swzchic has edited so far that I looked at was also edited by MRDU08 in the past.  Mbinebri  talk &larr; 01:06, 5 September 2009 (UTC)
