Same as previous modus operandi; a good hand account (B2StealthLike) posing as an innocent newbie, and a slew of bad hand accounts attacking his userpage. Pinging User:DoRD for CU results, since we've already discussed this. Yunshui 雲 &zwj; 水  19:29, 18 February 2014 (UTC)

Deafeningly obvious sock, but there are usually sleepers galore, and if a range block is feasible, it would be ever so nice. Favonian (talk) 18:57, 19 February 2014 (UTC)

 * Hi, just adding what I sent to the accuser, I believe on the unblock request I was told as long as the edits were not as bad/harming as on the previous account as someone had taken over my account... BrokenMirrors246 (talk) 16:32, 17 May 2014 (UTC)

 * If the original account had ever made any constructive edits, I might buy a case of account compromise leading to the vandalism. However, since there was never any constructive editing, and the account was blocked for vandalism, creating a second account is block evasion.

Now, I don't know if this the original master or, if there is an older sockmaster pulling the strings (which is what the CU request is for; these accounts are so blatantly the same person that a CU is probably unnecessary). What I do know is that PV101 made this edit, was reverted, then this edit was made by SpecialPages101 (note the very similar names) a day later on the Far Cry 4 page, and then FoF reinstated the edit on Far Cry 3.

But if that's not enough, compare to. Luke no 94 (tell Luke off here) 14:40, 26 January 2015 (UTC)

Pretty obvious, I've indef'd SpecialPages101 and FluteOfFwiep. I've only blocked PrintableVersion101 for a week but leaving this case open because I'm almost certain they are related to some other array of socks, given they've gone around adding sockpuppet tags stating and others as has having been checked and blocked... clearly they're familiar with how admins respond to sockpuppetry and presumably targeting the checkusers who have taken action on them in the past. &mdash;  MusikAnimal talk 15:50, 26 January 2015 (UTC)
