 * Suspected sockpuppets

I have a few sockpuppets- Bambooowns24 and Mapleowns23 are the same guy- I'm sure. Please do something, it seems that they are creating accounts with similar names. AndrewrpTally-ho! 14:32, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Normally requests for help with sock puppets are filed at WP:SPI. Perhaps an experienced user here will step in and help you. I will take a quick look to see if these qualify as obvious socks. (Links at top added by me.) Jehochman Talk 14:38, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
 * They appear to be the same, and J.delanoy has blocked at least one of them. What about  and ?  Perhaps a checkuser could help us gather all the related accounts.  Would somebody please move or copy this thread to SPI and format it properly? Jehochman Talk 14:42, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Looks like a group of schoolkids got together. I've blocked several accounts and disabled account creation from the school itself; several of them do look to have been editing from home, some, as well, which might be better handled by semiprot as needed. – Luna Santin  (talk) 21:44, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
