 * - An overlap of 5 articles out of 130 and 652 edits, respectively, is not much. And I am not convinced by the diffs on Husayn Muhammed al-Umari, which fail to show any connection other than the fact that they both edited the same page.

 * I'm just heading out the door, but I've put this on hold. Please wait for me to return. Thanks. Reaper Eternal (talk) 13:48, 29 June 2013 (UTC)
 * I've done my research, which largely involves reviewing the deleted edits, and I can say that Ghostboy1997 is without a doubt Puppetfunny evading his block. For other reasons, the evidence will not be posted here. in case there are more puppets. Reaper Eternal (talk) 18:21, 29 June 2013 (UTC)
 * . In that case, please e-mail me the evidence. WilliamH (talk) 08:54, 30 June 2013 (UTC)

Bcvbvcb was found through a parallel investigation which connected another group of sockpuppets. When I saw the previous accounts blocked on John Parsons (criminal), I looked for this case. -- DQ   (ʞlɐʇ)  06:00, 7 January 2015 (UTC)

Maddog07 appears to be expanding an article created by a sock that DQ discovered. Maddog07 has an interested in writing about wanted fugitives  Other socks have been know to edit fugitive articles as well:     Maddog07 also has a noticeable interest in adding unsourced, detailed information related to the subjects. This behavior is consistent with the other accounts. Note that a number of related edits have been oversighted. Mike V • Talk 07:48, 7 January 2015 (UTC)
