Evidence submitted by Ckatz
These accounts were all created within days (or in some cases, hours) of each other. They have suspicious overlaps in contribution histories, including topics and specific articles that do not suggest this is simply a coincidence. For example, Yellowface (edited by Shamhat456, Nick Crthylbruillymoses, and BrittanyLovesNuts); Kill Haole Day (edited by Shamhat456, and BellsFromSeychelles); Racism in the United States (edited by Shamhat456, Nick Crthylbruillymoses, and BellsFromSeychelles); and Louisiana State University (edited by Shamhat456 and BellsFromSeychelles). All the accounts have also edited articles, or made reference to, macadamia nuts. Ckatz chat spy  07:13, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

I guess this is archived by now, but I have to say that I changed my user name (officially) the end of January and I requested the name "Shamhut456", but before it could be assigned to me, it had been taken. I didn't think it was a coincidence and now that I am aware that all of these other users (with whom I have had unpleasant encounters with) were sock puppets of the person who swiped my chosen user name, it all makes unpleasant sense. Thanks for blocking them.--Ishtar456 (talk) 23:50, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

Exact same page with very similar edits. Socking is clear. All accounts indefinitely blocked and tagged. –MuZemike 19:19, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

User VampireDoctor making the exact same changes to the Louisiana State University article that Shamhat456 was two weeks ago. Highly likely that this is the same user under the username VampireDoctor. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nowhereman86 (talk • contribs)

The Louisiana State edits suggest rather clearly that this is indeed another sock of Shamhat456. I've adjusted the block to mention this, and tagged the account. --Ckatz chat spy  05:29, 16 February 2010 (UTC)
