The above 6 editors have already been confirmed by CheckUser Alison, or by TDC himself, as he went back and signed the edits made by the non-logged-in IPs.
 * Suspected sockpuppets

The above 4 editors have been confirmed as a sock of TDC. Please see Sockpuppet investigations/Nrcprm2026 Icestorm815  •  Talk User already indef. blocked. Icestorm815 •  Talk  ...but should be confirmed as a TDC sock, through checkuser, to establish an editor profile Xenophrenic (talk) 18:56, 26 June 2009 (UTC) Above IP has no edits. ...but is included for checkuser as related login accounts were likely created with this IP. Xenophrenic (talk) 18:56, 26 June 2009 (UTC) Above user's edits would be stale. Icestorm815 •  Talk ...but he can still be confirmed as a TDC sock, based on the IP Proxy block issued as a result of this checkuser case. Xenophrenic (talk) 18:56, 26 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Evidence submitted by Peter Symonds ( talk ) ; Xenophrenic

(1) Hempbilly, Happy Sapper, and DJ Creamity are all TDC socks, as confirmed by CheckUser Alison and Vassyana; see here.

(2) User:68.254.64.3, User:24.14.217.26 and User:65.164.106.99 are each self-confirming socks, as TDC went back and signed edits by each of these not-logged-in IPs, here, here, and here, respectively.

(3) Pecker Checker, RadTek, McGuiness and Fairbank Editing Man are all likely TDC socks, as noted in the ongoing sockpuppet investigation by CheckUser Dominic; see here.

(4) User:75.57.213.195 and User:75.57.216.125 admit to being User:Pecker Checker, claiming he forgot his password, here. User:75.57.221.15, like the 2 previously mentioned IPs in the identical range (Pecker Checker/TDC), seem obsessed with flushing out and tagging socks of (Nrcprm2026/LossIsNotMore/James Salsman) as shown here.

(5) CENSEI, Here Cometh the Milkman and User:12.54.29.3 are each very likely socks of TDC/68.254.64.3 based not only on geolocation, identical behavior and the conversation on blocks and IP-exceptions previously located here, but on specific non-public information that I cannot post here. Email Xenophrenic if you are a CheckUser or Functionary and require the additional information in order to confirm these users. CheckUser Avi has already (on April 6th) partially addressed the connection between these 3 accounts; he was the checkuser that checked Milkman, blocked the IP proxy, and granted CENSEI a block exception. A checkuser run on 12.54.29.3 may reveal other user accounts tied to it. Xenophrenic (talk) 19:53, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Noting for the record that I received and checked a more extensive sockpuppet report send to the functionaries list. The evidence is compelling and covers multiple specific and idiosyncratic patterns of behavior, interests, and communication style. The similarities presented go beyond the level of evidence generally accepted for sockpuppetry. They run to the point where some of the similarities have absolutely no other comparison to any other editors, as far as I can tell. Thus, I have little to no doubt that CENSEI, Here Cometh the Milkman, the related IPs, and TDC are run by the same person. If there are any questions, please do not hesitate to let me know. --Vassyana (talk) 11:53, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

 * Starting this page per a request by email. User suspects the case will need to be reopened so asked a clerk to keep it here as a placeholder. Peter Symonds ( talk ) 08:31, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Per the comments I added above, I think a check is necessary to check the level of activity on the IP range 75.57.208.0/21 to see if a range block could be performed. From what it seems, a check doesn't seem necessary for the accounts. Icestorm815  •  Talk  03:58, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
 * This case is not finished, even thought it is marked as completed.  Sy  n 19:06, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Xenophrenic sent evidence to the functionaries and a second check is pending based on the evidence. Icestorm815  •  Talk  00:17, 25 June 2009 (UTC)


 * There seems to be unrelated users on the /21 range, so a hard range block may not be appropriate. -- Avi (talk) 05:54, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

IP block performed, thanks. Peter Symonds ( talk ) 16:13, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

Based on Vassyana's comment about the evidence emailed to func-l, I've tagged the all the accounts as related to TDC. Icestorm815 •  Talk  17:33, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

 * The following should be checked against CENSEI as well based on their timing of "showing up" and their edits

Noting how each has edited their own user page and talk page. - ALLST✰R ▼ echo wuz here 22:10, 3 July 2009 (UTC)


 * The following was one of the many impostors of Axmann8 noted in Sockpuppet investigations/Axmann8/Archive

Those impostors were trying to add a ban to the indef block of Axmann8. I would ask that they be looked into as possible CENSEI socks. Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots 22:17, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

 * I moved the comments above from the previous open case to this one, so things won't get so cluttered up and so it's easier to figure out which evidence points to which user.
 * I'm endorsing a check on these users given the behavior of the users. Icestorm815  •  Talk  19:22, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

❌ to CENSEI. -- Avi (talk) 02:26, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
