Evidence submitted by OCNative
User:RK Drollinger refers to Ralph Drollinger in the first person here, here, and here. User:Rkdrkdrkd signs this post and this post as Ralph Drollinger. User:SACPI has only made two edits, one of which sought to do to the Ralph Drollinger article what User:RK Drollinger and User:Rkdrkdrkd sought while the other edit simply makes the same complaints as those two users, but in third person. 66.124.63.234's entire edit history is numerous efforts to whitewash the Ralph Drollinger article.

 * If this is not sockpuppetry, it's certainly meatpuppetry. These accounts each and every one have been working on the same wavelength, making the same arguments, and doing the same edits with the same explanation every time; and two of them openly proclaim that they are the same person, the subject of the article under dispute. -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  16:42, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

✅ the following are the same: ❌ from a technical standpoint: No comment on the IPs. TN X Man 16:55, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
 * I blocked and tagged SACPI and Ralph drollinger as confirmed socks of RK Drollinger. And I blocked Rkdrkdrkd per WP:DUCK. I've also blocked and warned the master account for a week. "R drollinger" isn't a registered account. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 17:12, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
 * It should be . Great googlymoogly.... TN X Man  17:24, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Blocked the other account that TNX listed. I'm going to leave the IP alone for now, I think. Is there anything left to do here? —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 17:33, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
 * The IP's edit summaries contain allegations that I would consider to constitute BLP violations, and may need to be oversighted. -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  17:40, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
 * The IP's been blocked before due to edits regarding Ralph Drollinger. OCNative (talk) 18:09, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
 * I removed some edit comments made by the IP. And the IP seems to be blocked for something right now (autoblock, maybe?) but they haven't edited in awhile, so I think we can leave it alone for now. Let me know if they become active again. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 23:55, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

Osobhy is a single-purpose account only editing the Ralph Drollinger article, with edits like this:, , and. These edits are remarkably similar to the edits to the Ralph Drollinger article made by the IP, SACPI, and other socks of RK Drollinger. It is clear that Osobhy is simply an attempt to evade the block. OCNative (talk) 21:16, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

 * There's something strange going on here. I've added two accounts and am endorsing for a checkuser to suss out what their relationships are. There won't be any comment on a comparison to RK Drollinger, though, as that account is stale. Osobhy may or may not be a sock of Drollinger, but it could be meatpuppetry. I'm inclined to block either way. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 22:09, 26 March 2011 (UTC)
 * ✅ that Rosi.anastasova is Osobhy, and based on geography that Crinock is also the same. All three of these are  RK_Drollinger, but I can't confirm with certainty because the data I have on him is so old. Dominic·t 23:38, 26 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Per the checkuser results, as well as behavioral evidence, I've blocked Osobhy and Rosi. I've also blocked RK Drollinger for sockpuppeting, even though the account hasn't been used in awhile. I'm also not 100% on Crinock, so I'm going to leave it alone for now - but relist if it becomes a problem, or if there's any development. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 03:24, 27 March 2011 (UTC)

This edit with an edit summary of "grammar" (and marked as a minor edit) and this edit (also marked as a minor edit) are remarkably similar to this edit by previously-blocked sockpuppet Osobhy. These edits also completely conflict with the cited news sources. EdgarValdez has also edited no other articles except for Ralph Drollinger. OCNative (talk) 10:58, 4 April 2011 (UTC)

 * 99.112.14.29 made this edit seeking to remove citations to Capitol Weekly claiming it is a tabloid, as sockpuppeteer User:RK Drollinger did here.
 * That edit was reverted by another user, but 99.112.14.29 then reverted that to restore the above edit.
 * 99.112.14.29 made this edit seeking to remove substantial portions of the Ralph Drollinger article and makes the same argument about minimizing the section, as the blocked sockpuppet User:EdgarValdez argued in this edit.
 * That edit was reverted by another user, but 99.112.14.29 then reverted that to restore the above edit.
 * 99.112.14.29 made this edit and this edit removing the COI templates regarding User:RK Drollinger and User:Rkdrkdrkd.
 * 99.112.14.29 made this edit, this edit, this edit, and this edit all removing the sock templates from four blocked sockpuppets of User:RK Drollinger.
 * 99.112.14.29 has made no other edits except the ones I have illustrated above, which all relate to the Ralph Drollinger article or User:RK Drollinger and his socks.
 * If WP:DUCK doesn't cover these edits by 99.112.14.29, I don't know what does. OCNative (talk) 04:37, 6 April 2011 (UTC)

YLinda made this edit changing several sentences while marking the edit as minor along with "run-on sentence" as the edit summary and this edit changing wording that was marked as minor with "added a comma" as the edit summary. Those two edits look a lot like this edit by blocked sock User:EdgarValdez and this edit by blocked sock User:Osobhy. YLinda's entire edit history consists of edits to Ralph Drollinger or talk page comments regarding Ralph Drollinger. These comments and these comments by User:YLinda make similar arguments as in this edit summary by blocked sock User:Osobhy, this edit summary by temporarily-blocked IP User talk:99.112.14.29, these comments by User:RK Drollinger, and these comments by User:SACPI. User:YLinda appears to be yet another attempt by User:RK Drollinger to evade the block. OCNative (talk) 01:11, 10 April 2011 (UTC)

This edit marked minor by User:EliSwift looks like a combination of this edit and this edit by blocked sock User:Osobhy. This edit marked minor by User:EliSwift looks like this edit marked minor by blocked sock User:EdgarValdez. User:EliSwift's other edits to Ralph Drollinger simply seek to include the audio of an interview by Drollinger. OCNative (talk) 02:55, 20 April 2011 (UTC)
 * After HelloAnnyong endorsed a checkuser below, 69.108.79.114 made this edit (with an edit summary of "redundancy"), which seeks to make a similar edit to this edit by blocked sock User:EdgarValdez. OCNative (talk) 06:22, 20 April 2011 (UTC)

This edit by User:Crinock looks quite similar to this edit by blocked sock User:EliSwift. This edit by User:Crinock somewhat resembles this edit by blocked sock User:YLinda, this edit by blocked sock User:EdgarValdez and this edit by blocked sock User:Osobhy. User:Crinock's contribution history looks quite similar to blocked sock's User:Rosi.anastasova's contribution history (both have fewer than 30 edits, and the majority of edits for each user are to the Peter Nygård and Ralph Drollinger articles).
