This is pretty much WP:DUCK. These accounts are SPAs dedicated to inserting WP:COPYVIOs from the official site into Aquinas School. When an account has received a few warnings, they ditch the account and create a new one. The last couple were created just prior to editing, so there is little chance of sleepers.

 * I've moved the case to show Pnoykalbo as the master, as it's the oldest by far. I've blocked and tagged all the socks per WP:DUCK. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 21:22, 14 August 2011 (UTC)

Basically a case of WP:DUCK. Adding the same copyvio to Aquinas School. Requesting CU to check for sleepers. Mdann52 (talk) 13:46, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

 * - Master and 1st sock too stale. Can't justify a sleeper check here. Dennis Brown -  2&cent;    &copy;  Join WER 19:52, 9 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Closing with prejudice. There is no question this is the same person in my eyes, so a CU can't be justified anyway.  The question becomes "Are they using multiple accounts in an abusive way?" and I see no evidence.  What I see is someone who comes in, makes an account, makes some edits, and very likely forgets their password by the time they come back in 6 months.  There isn't overlapping edits in this case, just someone making the same edits every 6 months.  If there is some problem with the edits (I didn't look once I saw the timestamps) then it should be handled at the appropriate venue, but this isn't sockpuppeting as they aren't trying to deceive anyone into thinking they are different people.  Arguably, they are going out of their way to let us know the last two are the same.  Closing. Dennis Brown -  2&cent;    &copy;  Join WER 19:52, 9 January 2013 (UTC)
