 * Suspected sockpuppets

The suspected sockpuppeteer and sockpuppet accounts appear to have the same username structure. And according to the user creation log, these 3 accounts were created within a 4-minute period.
 * Evidence submitted by SoCalSuperEagle (talk)

The Quidysquidypedia account was used to vandalize the CiscoWorks article with this edit. Only 3 minutes later, the Wuidyquidypedia account was used to add more vandalism to that exact same page with this edit.

Although the Wuidyquidypediaqwank account hasn't yet made any contributions, it is obvious that the Wuidyquidypediaqwank and Wuidyquidypedia accounts belong to the same person (the user creation log confirms this).

Finally, based on an examination of the revision history of the CiscoWorks article, it appears that the suspected sockpuppeteer may be the same person as blocked user Squidysquidyliquidypedia (who was indefinitely blocked for vandalism). Their usernames have similar structures and their vandalism edits are similar. (See an example of Squidysquidyliquidypedia's vandalism and compare it to Quidysquidypedia's vandalism edit.)
