Quack. Troydevinny545 is currently under a one month block for, well, several reasons. This account is being used in defiance of that block. Sum mer PhD (talk) 17:40, 29 July 2014 (UTC)

 * Account blocked per DUCK. Mike V  •  Talk  05:09, 4 December 2014 (UTC)
 * I have also blocked and  per this rant. These accounts were registered in 2012 and have never been used so can someone please check for other undisclosed sleepers? De728631 (talk) 18:11, 4 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Blocked Troydevinny545backup33 and TD0712 too per obvious names and WP:DUCK. De728631 (talk) 18:31, 4 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Looks like we have a user evading blocks. A checkuser will help to sweep the range to find any other accounts and potentially block the range itself. Note that Troydevinny546 and Troydevinny547 are much too stale.  Mike V  •  Talk  18:32, 4 December 2014 (UTC)

 * - In order to facilitate and expedite your request, please provide diffs to support your case. Please give two or more diffs meeting the following format:
 * 1) At least one diff is from the sockmaster (or an account already blocked as a confirmed sockpuppet of the sockmaster), showing the behaviour characteristic of the sockmaster.
 * 2) At least one diff per suspected sockpuppet, showing the suspected sockpuppet emulating the behaviour of the sockmaster given in the first diff.
 * 3) In situations where it is not immediately obvious from the diffs what the characteristic behaviour is, a short explanation must be provided. Around one sentence is enough for this.  Vanjagenije   (talk)  10:13, 29 February 2016 (UTC)
 * No diffs were provided. Closing the case.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  23:10, 8 March 2016 (UTC)

 * A recheck of shows multiple logins (successful and otherwise) to the following accounts:


 * The successful logins are denoted by an asterisk. All of these accounts should be confirmed to the oldest/master, re-tagged etc. Note that some of these accounts are globally locked (e.g. ), so  as they are regaining access to many of their old accounts.--  Ponyo bons mots 19:14, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Also, apologies in advance to whichever Clerk draws the short-end of the stick dealing with this report.-- Ponyo bons mots 19:27, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Moved case to oldest, retagged socks, closing. That was surprisingly painless. Spicy (talk) 17:35, 31 March 2023 (UTC)
