✅ - at this point he's used a single IP fairly consistently, but it's part of a dialup/dsl pool which is too large to block. I've blocked the specific IP for a month. -- Versa geek  13:16, 27 April 2009 (UTC) Mayalld (talk) 13:30, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

All recent confirmed blocked sockpuppets (there's probably more). Request a checkuser to look at an underlying IP block. Thanks. -- zzuuzz (talk) 11:26, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

✅ as expected. As before, range is too large to rangeblock. Main individual underlying IP updated to hardblock to prevent creation of other accounts elsewhere and then being used at main computer. -- Avi (talk) 05:13, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

This account has been blocked. Given the propensity for multiple socks being created at once, I think a sleeper check is warranted. TN X Man 13:45, 10 June 2010 (UTC)
