Evidence submitted by Netalarm
The revision history of Gabriel Cousens and Talk:Gabriel Cousens show these three editors engaging the same behavior (removing content and using similar edit summaries). The three editors continue to remove the content and use such words as "libelous" and threaten legal action. I think it's fairly obvious that there's some connection between these accounts, if not the same person. Netalarm talk 16:39, 30 July 2010 (UTC)

Some of the socks have already been blocked, I've blocked two others. The IP hasn't edited in a couple of days (and should also be caught by the autoblock), so it's been unblocked it has not been blocked. This case probably should be listed under Witnesspress, as the oldest account. TN X Man 18:11, 30 July 2010 (UTC)

I blocked 3 of them but only for WP:3RR violations (with a little bit of WP:DUCK thrown in) on Gabriel Cousens and only for 3 hours. If we are presuming that WP:DUCK is good enough for them to be indef blocked as socks, let me know or go ahead and change the block settings without prior notice to me. I was stopping the disruption but realized there might be more action later. Frank |  talk  18:32, 30 July 2010 (UTC)
