They are blatant impostor socks of the Gogdygody mold. Some have already been blocked, (see Administrators%27_noticeboard and Administrators%27_noticeboard/IncidentArchive797) but a check user for sleepers seems appropriate. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom  16:29, 17 May 2013 (UTC) --  TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom  16:29, 17 May 2013 (UTC)

 * - - Blatant sockpuppetry and impersonation. Is it possible to IP-block this? Reaper Eternal (talk) 18:45, 17 May 2013 (UTC)


 * I temporarily blocked their primary range. Mailersonly appears to be the actual master. ​—DoRD (talk)​ 19:22, 17 May 2013 (UTC)

 * I had discussed with Abhishek191288 regarding this issue, so I am citing some diffs. I am not sure about the proper format to submit such evidence so please correct me if I'm wrong. I looked around for help and other similar discussions but didn't have any luck. Regstuff (talk) 10:18, 13 June 2013 (UTC)

 * Sorry for missing out. With the new form notifications, I tend to miss out on some. Thanks for the diffs. Adding an obvious sock ( to the list who is trying to impersonate me.


 * Here is the same edit like the master performed by . &mdash;  Abhishek  Talk 12:27, 13 June 2013 (UTC)

 * - - Given the user's history, I wouldn't be surprised if another den of sleepers were uncovered. King of  &hearts;   &diams;   &clubs;  &spades; 06:58, 2 June 2013 (UTC)
 * - . In order to facilitate and expedite your request, please provide diffs to support your case. Please give two or more diffs meeting the following format:
 * 1) At least one diff is from the sockmaster (or an account already blocked as a confirmed sockpuppet of the sockmaster), showing the behaviour characteristic of the sockmaster.
 * 2) At least one diff per suspected sockpuppet, showing the suspected sockpuppet emulating the behaviour of the sockmaster given in the first diff.
 * 3) In situations where it is not immediately obvious from the diffs what the characteristic behaviour is, a short explanation must be provided. Around one sentence is enough for this.  Salvio Let's talk about it! 09:33, 2 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Please provide evidence for this case; it is not the duty of the clerks / CUs to make your case for you. --Rschen7754 08:40, 12 June 2013 (UTC)

Another obvious sock. This user now has a history of impersonating other editors. &mdash;  Abhishek  Talk 15:14, 18 June 2013 (UTC)

 * - - Already blocked, adding sleeper check per past history (diffs unnecessary since this user specializes in impersonating established users). King of  &hearts;   &diams;   &clubs;  &spades; 02:37, 19 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Nothing else to report. I recommend against tagging any future socks per WP:DENY. WilliamH (talk) 15:13, 21 June 2013 (UTC)
