 * Suspected sockpuppets

Both accounts making identical edits to user's talk pages - replacing content with "dweeb" and other insults  Flying Toaster  11:38, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

It might be worthwhile to also check. One of the alleged puppeteer's obsessions was this reconstruction of material, which Taggart had previously attempted to add to Spondon. Favonian (talk) 12:06, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

 * Furthermore, this attack on Lectonar, who had previously reverted Taggart's above-mentioned contribution. Favonian (talk) 12:08, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

obvious use of the IP range to get around blocks. A soft block on (64 addresses) should catch them all (although it may be moot now, as the disruption seems to have halted), regards SpitfireTally-ho! 16:50, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

 * This is almost certainly . The quack is deafening. Recommend a short block for the account. (The alleged copyvio source seems to be a WP mirror, which is why I did not recommend indef.) Also, can someone move this case to /ROBERT TAGGART? It's apparently in the title blacklist. Tim Song (talk) 18:11, 20 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Account blocked for a month (escalating from previous block lengths). The IP range was blocked yesterday by Materialscientist for 12 hours. TN X Man  15:06, 21 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Conclusions

I'm not going to block those IPs at this time; they're both Vodaphone IPs, (which are very busy) and rangeblocking is out of the question. The 1 month block on Taggart (with accompanying autoblock) should suffice for now. –MuZemike 05:10, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

The typical behavior of these accounts are basically to vandalize posting info relating to paedophilia on users' talk pages. Note, some of them have already been oversighted/redacted.  E lockid  ( Talk ) 16:40, 30 May 2010 (UTC)
