Two newer accounts blocked as pretty obvious socks - same focus on the same articles and talk pages. Oldest account, Squeezdot, blocked for two weeks. TN X Man 21:45, 21 August 2010 (UTC)

Editing history mostly relates to Michael Mic Neumann and related projects. This edit is also an admission of identity. Rob Sinden (talk) 13:06, 17 December 2013 (UTC)

And at Talk:Kung Faux, another Neumann related article, Squeezdot identified himself as Neumann.. I've raised the IP at WP:COIN. I blocked Squeezdot indefinitely in August 2010 for "Abusing multiple accounts: clearly doesn't intend to respect block, continues to create sockpuppets".

 * I support an escalating block to protect from COI and PROMO, because it's a fixed IP (no collateral damage), long-term single purpose account, continuously pushing promo at Helena Christensen(inserting self as co-founder), Kung Faux (massive COI buildup, though RS), [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mess_John&diff=570393294&oldid=503226879 overwriting] Mess John with promo without disambiguation, COI, PROMO, primary source [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_Sucklord&diff=551484305&oldid=545770953 insertion] into The Sucklord. Also http://www.popdetail.com is COI cited as a source for insertion[//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Yuko_Shimizu_(illustrator)&diff=552140532&oldid=548378691] into articles such as Yuko Shimizu (illustrator) (since removed).  I didn't know about the 2010 indefinite blocks of Squeezdot et al. It may be possible to train Neumann to stop COI editing, and comply with WP:COI procedures, but I have a doubt. --Lexein (talk) 03:11, 19 December 2013 (UTC)


 * This can be closed, I've blocked the IP as a long term block evader. The original account always made it clear he would sock. Dougweller (talk) 11:51, 19 December 2013 (UTC)
