– Both accounts go for a while back, so I'm a bit reluctant on WP:DUCK here (unless someone else wants to go ahead and block, I won't mind). –MuZemike 20:12, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

Clerk, patrolling admin and checkuser comments

 * Comment - The two accounts definitely look more than a little suspicious, their edits correlate with each other way to many times. Lionmadness claims that they (if there is two) know each other in real life, which might be true, but at any rate they should still be blocked for vote stacking. I'd nearly say block without a checkuser, but there's no real rush. --Coffee //  have a cup  //  ark  // 00:06, 29 December 2009 (UTC)

From what I can see, I think that they are telling the truth about knowing each other in real life. The timing between their edits is close enough I doubt it could be one person. J.delanoy gabs adds 02:33, 29 December 2009 (UTC)

Evidence submitted by JBsupreme
I guess the Trusted Throwaway account got bored and decided it was time to reveal their shenanigans. There is lots of cross-communication, vote stacking, trolling, et cetera going on here. While a few of them did gravitate to my own talk page for unknown reasons, whatever is going on is larger than that. Cheers, JBsupreme  ( talk ) 23:38, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

The alleged sock left on my talk page. I could make neither head nor tail of it and decided to ignore it until Velella reminded me of my peripheral involvement with, a confirmed sock of AtlanticDeep, two years ago. The two users have a very similar style and a shared interest in Roxburgh, New Zealand. Furthermore, their user pages show a number of similarities: vs. . In my opinion, there's enough similarity to warrant a duck block, but CU is requested because of AtlanticDeep's well documented tendency to create multiple socks.

Three accounts made similar, connected arguments at WP:Articles for deletion/Brenda Lowe within a few hours of each other. Each account made the rare misspelling of the word "independent" as "independant." That seems unlikely to be a coincidence. The accounts have a history of coordinated edits on other articles and AfDs. . Also, recent AfDs on Survivor topics have had socking problems, e.g., WP:Articles_for_deletion/Phillip_Sheppard_(2nd_nomination). Logical Cowboy (talk) 20:19, 16 May 2013 (UTC)

Two new accounts created shortly (less than a week) after other accounts being blocked. Also editing Survivor (and New Zealand) articles, like the blocked socks (see comments in Archive for this sockmaster). Doing other things like editing templates and assigning articles to projects that would not be typical for brand new users. Logical Cowboy (talk) 22:28, 4 June 2013 (UTC)

To comment on my own request, another one seems awfully similar in terms of topics of edits (Survivor and NZ) and cutesy name.

By the way, per WP:DUCK, it seems like Beachsand is the same as User:Spinning the spinner who is a blocked sock of WP:Sockpuppet_investigations/Laughing_lion_of_loudness. It's all the same. Have a look at this. It's a sock parade. Logical Cowboy (talk) 05:14, 7 June 2013 (UTC)

Same content and style as recently blocked socks such as User:Around the clockwork and User:Artichoke prince. Recreates deleted page Reality GameMasters that other sock had created, with same or similar content--please check this. Other edits are to Stephen Fishbach, which blocked sock had edited, and to other Survivor-related articles, like blocked socks. Unlikely that a brand new editor would create two new articles and edit a template in first edits. Logical Cowboy (talk) 22:15, 23 June 2013 (UTC)
