 * This is a holding for a massive sock farm that was brought to my attention. Like OrangeMoody, there a lot of strands here and this will take some time. All accounts that I am listing are ✅ by CU and behavioral evidence. All of the socks create articles about semi-notable to non-notable doctors and business people. There is a strong possibility that there is a paid editing angle here as well. -- Guerillero &#124;  Parlez Moi  00:42, 29 September 2015 (UTC)
 * There is a second batch I am confirming. Clerks, Please do not archive this -- Guerillero &#124;  Parlez Moi  02:07, 29 September 2015 (UTC)


 * I notice at least one article here is on a dentist, Jason Michael Hartman . There is a great similarity  among many of the articles on   dentists in WP, leading me to suspect a common paid editor. This one however is in a somewhat different style  DGG ( talk ) 03:43, 29 September 2015 (UTC)
 * All those accounts are already blocked. Closing the case.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  10:22, 29 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Please listen to me as a checkuser here. As I said, we are working on something. Please do not archive or close this. -- Guerillero &#124;  Parlez Moi  15:02, 29 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Also, I have moved it back to the original name, the first account found. At this point we have no idea who the sockmaster is and we are using Ntiele as the identifier. -- Guerillero &#124;  Parlez Moi  15:06, 29 September 2015 (UTC)
 * - Sorry, please. In that case, I'm putting this on hold.  Vanjagenije   (talk)  17:52, 29 September 2015 (UTC)
 * I bumped into this nest a few weeks ago but made more progress on the clients than I did the obvious spammers-for-hire. I can send my notes if it helps, but it's mainly a list of URLS to watch and e-mail addresses to domain search on. Kuru   (talk)  00:14, 4 October 2015 (UTC)
 * please email that to me -- Guerillero &#124;  Parlez Moi  01:49, 4 October 2015 (UTC)
 * , done. Kuru   (talk)  02:00, 4 October 2015 (UTC)

 * I posted about this to functionaries and there is a page on the wiki but no one else wanted to take a look. I got so busy with arbcom business this fell off the backside. The list of possible accounts is on the wiki and I would work off of behavioral evidence to see what accounts should be blocked. Sorry. -- Guerillero &#124;  Parlez Moi  00:10, 22 December 2015 (UTC)
 * I would ask any clerks to not move this page to another account because there is no way to know who the master is (please don't just pull the oldest known account) and well the past conversations have used this name. -- Guerillero &#124;  Parlez Moi  00:13, 22 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Archiving as stale due to lack of interest  Guerillero  &#124;  Parlez Moi  03:53, 27 December 2015 (UTC)
