 * Suspected sockpuppets

Persia2 was blocked 72 hours by me for massive copyright violations, and then ESkog ramped it up to indef after discovering that he was a sock of, who in turn is a likely sock of. However, he'd been progressing toward a block for other reasons as well--namely unsourced edits to List of countries by the number of billionaires and other articles.

Only two days after Persia2 was blocked, Amir.7055 appears and engages in the same pattern of unsourced edits to List of countries by the number of billionaires as Persia2--though no copyvios as of yet. While behavioral evidence seems to indicate a sock, I'm requesting a sweep to find any more socks, given the level of disruption that has occurred in such a short time.

Seems like a CU request is reasonable, and Amir.7055 should definitely be blocked. Canadian  Nine  22:09, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
