 * Suspected sockpuppets

Minor suspicion arose because of Strawberry's generally antagonistic behavior toward myself and other editors in addition to his general interest in Brazilian and South American football. But more concretely, the location of the IP address (listed above) that was used to circumvent Strawberry's recent block was from Atlanta, GA and the surrounding areas, a location from which the vast majority of suspected socks of SuperSonicx are from. Finally, I found this previous edit to Straw's talkpage that shows someone else suspected him of being a sock (Strawberry subsequenty deleted it claiming vandalism). Those makes me think it is worth investigatingif Strawberry on Vanilla is another sockpuppet of SuperSonicx1986. Digirami (talk) 01:10, 1 September 2011 (UTC)

 * Sorry, I'm not seeing the connection between Strawberry and the master. Just because they both edit soccer articles doesn't mean they're the same person. The master is three years' stale, so we can't run a check even if we wanted to. Both the sock and the IP are blocked anyway, so we can leave it for now. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 02:06, 2 September 2011 (UTC)

The above user, hereafter referred to as "SoV" for short, first raised suspicions because of his generally antagonized nature to myself. As interactions grew, so did indicators that Strawberry on Vanilla is a sockpuppet of SuperSonicx1986 (SS1986), better known recently as User:Jamen Somasu (a confirmed sockpuppet of SS1986). First, and quite obviously, the similarity of the username of another confirmed sockpuppet of SS9186, User:Chocolate on Vanilla. Second, both SoV and Jamen have expressed disdain for Wikipedia's policy on consensus. In a statement here, the first sentence in his statement sounds extremely similar to a sentence made here by Jamen, and Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Football/Archive 44 (do a find for "the consensus was to kill or enslave people" to locate it within the discussion). SoV and Jamen's statements on consensus shows his willingness to dismiss this core Wikipedia policy can be wrong because sometimes the multitude have it wrong and he knows better. Thirdly, whenever SS9186 and Jamen used multiple anonymous IP address to circumvent a recent block, they did so using an IP originating from Atlanta, Georgia and the surrounding areas. SoV recently did the same thing with an IP address from Atlanta and was caught (User talk:184.37.247.232). Fourthly, and somewhat vaguely, the overall characteristics of SoV is similar to those exhibited by Jamen Somasu and highlighted in this discussion over a year ago. One characteristic that stands out is SoV's and Jamen's ability to be pointy, as exhibited by Jamen in the aforementinoed RFC and SoV's FLRC of multiple lists because List of Santos FC seasons was not promoted to a featured list. Other users could probably be called to discuss other characteristics that are similar between the two that are troubling. In all, as another user put it, it looks, swims, and quacks like a duck.

 * Thanks for clarifying things a bit more. I've blocked and tagged SoV on behavioral grounds. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 01:23, 8 September 2011 (UTC)
