Only purpose of sockmaster was to spam for Management Institute of Canada and Delta International University of New Orleans. I gave him a final warning, and he stopped; but now this puppet is doing similar edits to pretty up this obvious diploma mill operation. Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  16:50, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

Accounts over several years, all of which universally attempt to whitewash Delta International University of New Orleans, a diploma mill in Lousiana which in turn provides a source of unaccredited "degrees" for a Canadian entity called the Management Institute of Canada. The various accounts alternate between removing the sourced content and replacing it with an ad; challenging the fact that neither entity is legitimately accredited in any way; saying, "Please delete this, as we/the Institute don't want this here"; and re-inserting various lies about the extent and nature of their bogus accreditation(s). At least one prior sock, User:Louis900000, was blocked previously by User:MuZemike. Orange Mike &#x007C;  Talk  20:25, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

 * Here's the latest: ; brand new, but spouting the party line on the articles about both places. I don't know if they keep any sleepers in the sockdrawer or not; but at least, I'd like to see the whole drawerful blocked. -- Orange Mike &#x007C;  Talk  17:46, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
 * and are  matches to each other. Since the other accounts haven't edited in so long, there's not much more the technical evidence can tell me. This doesn't mean administrative actions (such as blocks, protections, etc.) won't be taken, just that those actions would be based on behavior, not technical data.

 * They are all the same as far as I can tell. I'm going to delete every major text addition made by them because of likely CVs. -- DQ  (ʞlɐʇ)  14:43, 10 March 2012 (UTC)
