 * Suspected sockpuppets

After noticed the user Your fucking mother at WP:UAA, I've followed his only contrib (a vandalism on Henry Greenslade article), I've discovered 6 vandalisms of Un4goten1 in the same page and requested a ban here. In the page is reported that discovered 4 sockpuppets (3 users and 1 ip) and blocked them. Anyway, I report them all to leave a thrace of this sockpuppetry, but my request is for Theobinns, 121.54.41.115, and 118.149.228.116. Theobinns' contribs (first and second) look like the same, per style and period, of Un4goten1 and socks' (ex.: 01, 02, 03...). The contribs of 121.54.41.115 and 118.149.228.116, are quite identical to Un4goten's vandalisms. User's style is to add false infos with several minor edits (that may go unnoticed), also overwriting his own edits, using multiple accounts and IPs. And, after page block by Berean Hunter, Carrite and David Biddulph discovered the amount of false infos added since 2012. For completeness, I add in the list of ip socks also the 3 that vandalized that page in 2012: 121.99.67.119, 121.99.96.115, and 121.99.98.178. Ips look like similar to recent IP vandals and the website (now dead) they linked, seems to be related to a homonym of Henry Greenslade (see FaceBook link, the 2nd in Google's list), maybe searching for self-promo or other. This could IMHO explain this amount of vandalisms on a stub about a New Zealand politician born in 1867. Btw, in the ANI report, Berean Hunter discovered that Un4goten1 was a sleeper account from late 2010 and thinks he is someone's sockpuppet. So, I hope this SPI could be also helpful to discover the eventual real sockmaster. Thanks. Dэя-Бøяg 13:04, 18 October 2014 (UTC)

 * I'm going to go ahead and close this and note that Theobinns remains unblocked and a possibilty.
