Block evading sock. Most recently blocked for sockpuppetry as User:TrapShooterPageCreator; blocked April 15, new account created 3 days later. Other blocked socks:



No previous sock investigation that I can find. Recent edit history includes multiple postings of non-notable autobiographies (Daniel Farnworth and Dan Farnworth) and repeatedly inserting mentions of himself at Jules Sobrian. Hairhorn (talk) 23:46, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

All blocked and tagged, IP blocked for 55 hours. A sleeper check would also be good, just make sure everything's clear. TN X Man 18:28, 5 August 2010 (UTC)

Two of the latest batch of accounts, I doubt there are only two. EricOshea11 is the latest account to repost his autobiography (posted as Daniel W. Farnworth this time). Note also attempts to repost as a user page at User:FarnworthDan, User:EricOshea11/Daniel William Farnworth and User:EricOshea11/Daniel W. Farnworth. As far as I can tell these are just repostings of the latest version deleted through AFD. Hairhorn (talk) 01:05, 24 September 2010 (UTC)

 * Sleeper check for this please. The IP was added because of editing the userpage specifically. (Not sure if WP:DUCK applies). Users are Ducks, and I know CUs can't comment on IPs. -- DQ  (t)  (e)  02:19, 24 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Both accounts blocked, IP blocked for 55 hours. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 02:47, 24 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Generally you tag IPs with ipsock NativeForeigner Talk/Contribs 04:15, 24 September 2010 (UTC)
 * As you can see I don't add these that much :P. Will remember for next time. -- DQ  (t)  (e)  12:18, 24 September 2010 (UTC)
 * I didn't see anything else. TN X Man  14:18, 24 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Sounds good. I'm going to mark this for a close, then, as there doesn't seem to be much more to do. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 15:32, 24 September 2010 (UTC)

New accounts from October. I left British-royalty alone for a while in the name of good faith, but vanity edits to Ian Farnworth and to yet another autobiography eliminate whatever doubts there might have been. Northwestedits is the third account to create Ian Farnworth, the previous two were from socks of this user; given the very low notability of this person, I have to assume this is yet another sock as well.
