 * Suspected sockpuppets

Well from the user name of two it is obvious and Hillbilly shares a similar edit with Spastickid.I am concerned about Steven Gazeas which was created four times in the last month. I also am a little suspicious about the vandalism at Jarrad Oakley-Nicholls but I am not sure if they are related. wiooiw (talk) 06:49, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

 * Adding Ben Gundry because of the similar edits with Spastic kid is behind you at Henry Slattery. wiooiw (talk) 07:13, 26 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Per Spastic kid is behind you's userpage, probably related to User:Raddyreddypants.wiooiw (talk) 08:17, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

These are all school kids, editing through a range of caching or filter proxies, apparently. They have been variously identified as socks of each other, but that can't be said with certainty based on technical evidence. Doesn't matter much of course, but I'm listing them here to avoid confusion: If any of the above are (re)blocked please turn off autoblocking, the proxy ips are already ACB-blocked. I've left off some editors who never edited and one editor who is somewhat constructive (one dubious page vs. three good-faith ones).

The Spastic* accounts aren't related by IP, but from the same area, so I guess one of them took some fun home with him. Amalthea 13:43, 27 June 2010 (UTC)
