A new user (Adnan1216) coming straight to an article talk page where Trueblood786 was discussing a content issue and the comment made by this user made similar references as done by Trueblood786. Besides the two have a similar signing style .i.e. they sign in a new line after their comment (as noted by another editor earlier). The second edit made by this new editor was at another article heavily edited (and also created) by Trueblood786, that was a removal of notability tag. Trueblood786 later argued in favor of this edit. Another edit made by this user is at an AfD discussion of an article that was created by Trueblood786. At the earlier AfD discussion of the same article (in 2012) there was a single purpose account (Sudhan1216) who not only had a similar username but a similar signing style that I mentioned above. And edited the same set of pages that are edited by Trueblood786. -- S M S   Talk 10:33, 1 March 2014 (UTC)

I would also like to note here that Trueblood786 is currently blocked for making meatpuppetry threats (and some other reasons also). And following those threats a user came and commented at Talk:Sudhan. -- S M S   Talk 10:33, 1 March 2014 (UTC)

Might be of interest are these two IP editors Added another IP from NJ, who made some comments similar to Trueblood. -- S M S   Talk 19:01, 1 March 2014 (UTC)
 * who commented at the ANI thread where Trueblood786's conduct was discussed, somewhat arguing in his favor, about 20 mins after Trueblood was blocked.
 * who besides some outing attempts commented at the above mentioned AfD that was a little similar to Trueblood's commentmade in the earlier AfD.

Added another IP, made similar argument ("It is the only news paper") earlier done by Sudhan1216, Trueblood786, 76.233.169.164. -- S M S   Talk 14:35, 2 March 2014 (UTC)

Adnan1216 during a conversation possibly got logged out and made a comment from 2600:1010:b100:dad9:0:2a:6a8:c101. -- S M S   Talk 14:46, 2 March 2014 (UTC)

@King of Hearts Do you mean the evidence I have given above is not sufficient for Trueblood786 = Adnan1216 and further evidence is needed or you couldn't comprehend it? If its the second case (I am sorry for that since English is not my language) I can highlight the part relevant to your querry, if you want. -- S M S   Talk 09:16, 4 March 2014 (UTC)


 * I'm confused, too. The evidence of similar behaviour looks compelling to me: same type of material, coincidental timing, the way the sigs are used, the background that suggests these are at least meatpuppets. Mind you, that I think it is compelling and King doesn't may go to explain why they're a checkuser and I'm not! - Sitush (talk) 13:54, 4 March 2014 (UTC)

I have no idea what this is all about, I have not done anything. I work in an office complex, so if others in this complex are members of wikipedia, I cant stop that. Again, as I said I have nothing to do with this sock pupperty thing.

Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments
I just now unblocked Trueblood786, after discussing things with the blocking administrator, and after the editor swore to not repeat their behavior. I would very much like to see verification that they haven't been socking in the meantime, so that I know I haven't made an error. --  At am a  頭 22:47, 3 March 2014 (UTC)
 * - What is the evidence that Trueblood786 = Adnan1216? King of &hearts;   &diams;   &clubs;  &spades; 06:47, 4 March 2014 (UTC)
 * We know that Trueblood786 swore that they were going to recruit people to support them, promises that "now there will be thousands of editors" in response to two editors that disagreed with Trueblood786. Trueblood786 was already blocked (and then unblocked, by me) for (among other things) threatening meatpuppetry. This behavior happened days ago, and as long as it doesn't have a resurgence, I think it would be unnecessary to reblock. --  At am a  頭  16:43, 4 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Adnan is ✅ to trueblood. No comment with respect to IP addresses. NativeForeigner Talk 18:39, 4 March 2014 (UTC)

 * Thanks, on top of everything else that's already been going on with this editor, this is over the top. The appeal below about working in an office complex doesn't explain why his coworkers are coincidentally supporting his topics. Or why these editors have such similar usernames. I think all my trust is used up here. --  At am a  頭 18:53, 4 March 2014 (UTC)
 * I've blocked Trueblood786, and blocked Adnan1216 and Geologist221 as confirmed socks. I've also blocked Sudhan1216 as a suspected sock (but it really is a case of WP:DUCK). --  At am a  頭 19:14, 4 March 2014 (UTC)
