 * Suspected sockpuppets

this user is a sock of wiseman6000. All this user does is Vandalize the Adult page changeing the ages around. Wiseman6000 was blocked just a few days a go for the same reason. I think that there could be more accounts by this same person under various Wiseman names. Steam  Iron  21:50, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

 * After looking at the list of users under this same person provided by -Paul Erik i believe this case should be relocated as being socks of Nintendofan5000 which dates back to May of 2009 its the oldest account.-- Steam   Iron  00:52, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

I've been blocking all these accounts that are obviously the same user. Since this is now at SPI, and it's a many-months-long pattern, it's worth asking: is it possible to block the underlying IP address? Paul Erik (talk) (contribs) 00:23, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

 * Conclusions


 * Certainly was worth a look, by this point. All accounts listed are either or ✅. Only extra sock I found was . No easy IP blocks at this time. –  Luna Santin  (talk) 23:39, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

Evidence submitted by Micro-Cruzer
These accounts were blocked yesterday in the Simple Wikipedia but out of curiosity, I am filing this to make sure that the two sockpuppeters are not related to each other in anyway shape and form. Notice that at the end of the usernames both contain the word "fan" and a number.

There are more accounts possibly made by this user I have asked the admin that has blocked those accounts to post the rest of the list of accounts by this user.-- Steam   Iron  20:21, 30 January 2010 (UTC) That could mean that they are not socks of Nintendofan5000 but checkuser well sort that out this user is a big time Sockpuppet creator most have been blocked but he makes more ever day.-- Steam   Iron  20:38, 30 January 2010 (UTC)
 * WiseOldMan1862 seems to be consistent with Nintendofan5000 but not with Bambifan101. Micro-Cruzer (talk) 20:25, 30 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Requesting a clerk find any connection with Pickbothmanlol on the nominator. Renny The Bat (talk) 20:42, 30 January 2010 (UTC)
 * User above has been banned a sockpuppet of Pickbothmanlol. Micro-Cruzer (talk) 20:49, 30 January 2010 (UTC)
 * As have you. I believe the operative term is 'LOL'. Half  Shadow  21:08, 30 January 2010 (UTC)

Bambifan101 and Nintendofan5000 are both blocked, Bambifan5000 isn't registered, Randomguy101 has been registered since 2006 (a couple of years more than Bambifan101 or Nintendofan5000) and has made no edits. WiseOldMan1862 has made one edit, and though a connection to Nintendofan5000 is possible, a check at the moment, based upon a single edit, would constitute fishing (please feel free to open a new case if they continue in the same pattern). I'm also not willing to endorse a check just to confirm a suspicion that two blocked sock masters might be connected. Kindest regards, SpitfireTally-ho! 20:35, 30 January 2010 (UTC)

Blocked as yet another incarnation of the same user; the list in Category:Suspected Wikipedia sockpuppets of Nintendofan5000 includes all those that have not been confirmed by checkuser but have continued the same edits. A previous investigation showed that there is no simple way to block an underlying IP address, so I have been trying to take a WP:RBI approach as new socks appear.

concur with Paul on the WP:RBI front, best stance to take in these situations, marking as closed, SpitfireTally-ho! 22:35, 13 February 2010 (UTC)
