 * Suspected sockpuppets



Appears to have the same behavior as User:Rangersarecool (and the other suspected sock puppets). That user posts messages on my talk page and the talk page of User:Foxcow as well as referring to Foxcow (see unblock requests at User talk:Darknesswolfs and User talk:Shadowwolfs). Also, the username (Ip:33.07.12.119) is a blatant violation of the username policy (that is not an IP address, but a misleading username). The account with a misleading username posted "i swear never to say (or tipe) the r word" ( diff ). I believe that the R word is Rangersarecool. For additional evidence, see the other sockpuppets at Category:Suspected Wikipedia sockpuppets of Rangersarecool -- IRP ☎ 20:30, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

A couple of months ago a group of users with similar names joined Wikipedia and some of them got blocked for vandalism fairly early on. Their non-vandalism edits often consisted of talking to each other on their talk pages. Some of these users are: Bob the doorbell, David the Dogman, Davidthedograt, Chocolatedograt, Chocolateroar, and Foxcow. It's possible that the IP account could be a continuation of one of those others if it is not of Rangersarecool. I suspect they all go to the same school. I also suspect the R word might be "roof". Disclaimer: I had no part in these previous events; I only learned of them after one of the editors made some edits on a page that was on my watchlist.

Pardon me if I disagree but rangersarecool is a very smart 4th grader and would not make a account called rangerarecool1234. do you know who would? someone who wanted rangersarecool would. do you know who that is? davidthedograt. How do I know? im in his class. im also in david the dogman's class im also in foxcows, jeffhardys, and rangersarecool. if it wasnt for davidthedograt rangersarecool wouldn't be blocked. darknesswolf is another account used for cantributions, not vandalism! he was trying to get away from niv, who new what rangersarecools password was. (he found out while he was typing it in class) then he made darknesswolf. then a classmate comes and says ooooh lets make a account called rangerarecool1234 and create vandalism so they'l think im rangersarecool! oh and for good measure, he says he is rangersarecool on your talk page. hes not that dumb. hes in a gifted class, we all are. (exept sometimes I wonder about davidthedograt...) enyway hes a straght A student in gifted 4th grade and loves wikipedia. he always talks about it! sorry to disturb you, im just angry at the people who blocked him, and didnt unblock him.

the suspected sock is a registered account that looks like an IP address. Mayalld (talk) 23:03, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Clerk, patrolling admin and checkuser comments
 * Maybe a little higher next time with the clerk note, it seems I accidentally changed it to checkip twice, without remembering my first edit. :)  Syn  ergy 01:09, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
