See the previous report of the sockmaster here: Suspected sock puppets/Paul venter. Continuing block evasion by indef-blocked user Rotational: see Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive582. After Rotational, the user moved on to create, which was blocked for evasion on 10 August 2011. was created 9 days later on 19 August 2011. Tekwani continues to edit the same subject area including the same articles edited by previous socks (e.g. Table Mountain Challenge, created by the most recent sock Androstachys; Christian Ignatius Latrobe, created by an earlier sock ) and also edited articles to add images uploaded by a previous sock at Commons (e.g. here he added File:Cedrela toona00.jpg, which was uploaded by Androstachys just the day before; here he added File:Boophone disticha02.jpg, which was uploaded by Androstachys on the same day). The user seems to have a static IP as two of his socks have asked to be unblocked from some auto IP range block: Rotational diff and Androstachys diff. This user seems to be using serial accounts after each is discovered to evade the original block on the Rotational account. Rkitko (talk) 02:30, 31 October 2011 (UTC)

 * Blocked and tagged the sock. The IP is a year stale, so there's nothing to do there. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 03:59, 31 October 2011 (UTC)
