 * I've indefblocked both users, and nixed the articles. The duck was quacking loud enough. Drmies (talk) 04:40, 7 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Since these accounts have been blocked there doesn't seem to be a need for checkuser. Closing. Please refile if there is new evidence of more socking.

This user has been starting the "Costa Rica Next Top Model" articles again (Costa Rica's Next Top Model (men's edition), Costarrica's Next Top Model (Mans Edition), Cycle 2 and Costarrica's Next Top Model (Mans Edition), Cycle 1) and with the same pattern as the previous accounts. This appears to be a case of DUCK. It is also relevant to mention that the user appears to adopt girl names with subsequent numbers. Considering that the sockmaster has been very active this month, I would suggest a range block. It is also relevant to mention that Amber54585 started the model articles approximately one minute after the account was created. SwisterTwister  talk  23:53, 13 September 2012 (UTC)

They took a week off and I thought they had given up, but as they are back again today, we may as well bring the record up to date. All blocked and tagged per WP:DUCK. JohnCD (talk) 12:40, 8 October 2012 (UTC)

The same "Costa Rica's next top model" hoax. DQ said on yesterday's entry that something could be done with IPs, so I have listed here IPs involved in this since the beginning of the month. Perla586 already blocked. JohnCD (talk) 11:12, 14 October 2012 (UTC)

 * I issued a rangeblock before the 3rd account, not knowing how much of an effect it would have, obviously it didn't work that well. I'm not at the point yet where I can make a bigger rangeblock, as it would have too much collaterial. -- DQ  (ʞlɐʇ)  07:10, 27 October 2012 (UTC)

The nonexistent program has apparently moved on to Spain from Costa Rica, but still features the prolific reality television model Michael/Mike/Miike Hidalgo. ... disco spinster   talk  15:07, 30 October 2012 (UTC)

Another account. The second account was blocked by discospinster and added straight to the archive. I listed it here again to have another data point for a better range block. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 23:33, 30 October 2012 (UTC)
 * One more account and one IP. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 05:34, 31 October 2012 (UTC)

 * Unsurprisingly, the three named accounts are a ✅ match; no comment, as usual, on the IP address. I ran a check for sleepers, but could find none. Not much luck with a rangeblock either... Salvio  Let's talk about it! 12:18, 31 October 2012 (UTC)
 * The named accounts are already blocked, and I'm blocking the IP based on behavioral evidence. Nothing more appears necessary, so closing. Reaper Eternal (talk) 12:37, 31 October 2012 (UTC)

Adding this more for the record than anything else. Working on edit filter 504 for him, but it is slow going. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 06:37, 2 November 2012 (UTC)

 * With the account already blocked and the comments above, I'm closing under the assumption that the CU request was erroneous and there is nothing more to do here. If the CU request is valid, we can reopen but there should be a reason why it is being requested and accompanying diffs.
 * A block of some sort has been made, I just didn't comment on it here. It's ✅ to be him, and i'm still being hopeful that we can stop him, though I fear we might have a harder time doing so. -- DQ  (ʞlɐʇ)  03:04, 3 November 2012 (UTC)
