An AfD seems to be the subject of a sock-puppet that is doing a lot of anon-IP hopping which would be difficult to link using IP as they are clearly moving around. But this particular IP and named account fairly clearly are doing the exact same vandalism edit of the AfD and !voting multiple times based upon these two diffs:  and.

Adding in another named account and another anon-IP based upon these two diffs on the same AfD:  and. My guess is that doing a checkuser will turn up different IPs as there is a lot of IP hopping going on, but these all seem to pass WP:DUCK. ConcernedVancouverite (talk) 22:49, 21 April 2013 (UTC)

Adding in two more named accounts, including one that likely is the original account (JacobyEasox). It appears that the JacobyEasox account tried to create an auto-biographical article that got speedied, but tried to establish an AfD for discussion here:  back on April 16th - and the result of that seems to have triggered this sockpuppet's AfD activities as a WP:POINTY type of response. Evidence for the two new ones being linked on the same AfD are here and. Interestingly those same two accounts also posted identical !votes on another Afd here:  and. Again, based on all of the IP hopping I doubt a checkuser will find IP overlap, but these all appear to be part of the same activity based upon WP:DUCK.

Adding in another anon-IP and a named account based upon these overlapping diffs:  and  and. Based upon that anon-IP, there is a highly likely link to the banned user EddieSegoura based upon this edit:. ConcernedVancouverite (talk) 23:24, 21 April 2013 (UTC)

SurvivorFanHH has gone on to once again remove spa tags with this diff. ConcernedVancouverite (talk) 23:31, 21 April 2013 (UTC)

Adding 5 more anon-IP spas and 2 more named account (1 SPA, 1 with editing history) that have all been active on the tightly related Survivor AfDs here:  and  and  and  and  and  and. All related per WP:DUCK. I note that the one named account with a bit of editing history seems to share the passion of both SurvivorFanHH and EddieSegoura for both Survivor and baseball based upon the list of edits here Special:Contributions/Jedzz.

 * Some of these accounts were already blocked, but please review User:JacobyEasox, they appear without doubt a sock. Cavarrone (talk) 17:18, 28 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Seems we likely will need a sleeper check as several more are active again here . ConcernedVancouverite (talk) 17:00, 29 April 2013 (UTC)
