 * Suspected sockpuppets:


 * Evidence submitted by SpikeJones (talk)

Primarily isolated to List of Disney animated heroines, but hits associated/linked pages in the princess area. Full page history shows similar edits/style of edits/addition of non-licensed character images. Trends seem to be similar, as soon as one login stops editing, the next one picks up the page. Overall contributions seem to follow in the same page areas as well. SpikeJones (talk) 00:06, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

 * Good question. Don't have a solid answer other than appears duckish, and trying to get a handle on whether there are multiple people making similar edits or if they're all individual users. Nothing overly destructive has been done beyond a multitude of bad edits that editors are seemingly continually having to revert. SpikeJones (talk) 19:52, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

Requested by SpikeJones (talk) 00:06, 18 February 2009 (UTC) Sorry, but for a CU to be run, we need specific evidence, rather than a general feeling that something might be wrong Mayalld (talk) 07:41, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

 * Can you please provide some more evidence (via diffs preferably) that show abusive socking? Thank you, Tiptoety  talk 00:09, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
 * As mentioned above, nothing overly evil in individual edits, but glancing through the full |history of this page and looking at each indicated user's overall contributions is what led to the inquiry. I certainly understand if this was a premature/misplaced request causing it to be rejected - in which case I will apologize in advance for wasting the clerks' time.

doesn't present sufficient evidence at the present to justify looking further. Mayalld (talk) 07:43, 19 February 2009 (UTC) Mayalld (talk) 07:43, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
