 * Suspected sockpuppets

Block-evading POV-pushing SPA sockpuppeteering on Brother Wease, introducing multiple BLP vios. I've already blocked all of the above as blatant socks - but I believe that a checkuser is warranted here in order to uncover any sleeper accounts. Thanks.

This user has been vandalizing a single page (Brother Wease)for several months. It's the only page that they have made edits to, and all of the edits have been reverted. The user has not responded to attempts to help make their edits constructive (ie, avoiding NPOV & BLP issues, providing citations, etc.), and after being blocked, appears to have escalated the vandalism by creating and using new user accounts. Over the last 24 hours, nine different edits were made to the same page using three different accounts. I suspect this is the same person, because 1) this article has otherwise not been subject to vandalism, 2) these new user accounts popped up the day after the user was blocked, and 3) most of the vandalism is identical. If the user wants to make constructive edits (even if they're critical of the subject), I'm happy to engage him/her and help. Anson2995 (talk) 12:43, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
