Recent disturbances by this user (User:TJKlein and User:TimKlein2) at JR Motorsports have been linked to User:Writer0023, which in turn is a likely sockpuppet of User:Hendricks.Rep. United States Man (talk) 01:15, 3 January 2015 (UTC)
 * These edits by LarryMora20 point to some fictional person with the last name of Rose as a driver for JR Motorsports, as does this (by TJKlein) and this (by TimKlein2). These edits match edits made by Writer0023 and known socks of Hendricks.Rep: User:WikiEditor1960, User:AntonioHendrick , User:WikiContributor54321 , User:Antionne.Jamison , User:Nelson.Jamison , User:WikiEditor1948 , and User:Wiki Editor1974  (which was actually created before Hendricks.Rep; probably the original). User:Hendricks.Rep made numerous edits like this.

I need more than just your mentioning all the other accounts. You can only get to the conclusion you do with diffs in support of your theory. So, please provide pairs of diffs linking LarryMora20 with Hendricks.Rep. If I'm going to tag the other accounts that you mention in the body but don't put in the sock list, you'll need to provide sets of diffs for those accounts, too.--Bbb23 (talk) 20:59, 3 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Actually, I know this makes me look stupid and has wasted your time. But, I meant to report this to the AIV page (which I have done with other socks of his). I guess I am a little out of practice with Twinkle after my extended wikibreak. United States Man (talk) 21:07, 3 January 2015 (UTC)
 * I provided at least one edit for every suspected sock of Hendricks.Rep. All edits made by the numerous accounts are pretty much the same. United States Man (talk) 22:52, 3 January 2015 (UTC)

. Although none of these accounts has gone through an SPI process, based on the additional evidence presented by United States Man, I'm endorsing a CU of three user (only ones who are not stale): LarryMora20, TimKlein2, and TJKlein. After the CU is complete, I will sort out the rest based on behavior and move this case to the correct master. Assuming there will be blocks and tags, I will not do that until after the move to keep the doc straight.--Bbb23 (talk) 18:07, 4 January 2015 (UTC)


 * Those three are ✅ along with User:TimKlein3, User:MMcMichaels22, and User:JasonWiley11. Courcelles 21:33, 4 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Indeffed unblocked accounts. Tagged and corrected existing tags. Closing.--Bbb23 (talk) 22:33, 4 January 2015 (UTC)

I also added User:Nelson.Jamison to the list on that user page, as it seems to have been overlooked here. However, if you feel that I acted in error, please feel free to revert. United States Man (talk) 18:22, 5 January 2015 (UTC)
 * That's partly my fault as I didn't copy that one to the list, so it may have been overlooked by the CU. You tagged the account user page, but we don't really know if it's confirmed. ? --Bbb23 (talk) 00:27, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Nelson.Jamison is quite stale. Courcelles 00:42, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Oops, sorry, I forgot to look. I'll change the tag to suspected based on behavior.--Bbb23 (talk) 00:44, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
 * No worries :) Courcelles 00:46, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
 * After reconsidering, I've changed the tag back to confirmed. All the other socks were tagged as confirmed, partly based on the history of the blocks and partly based on obviousness. There's no reason for this account to be different. I've also ordered a new brain for myself. Should be here soon.--Bbb23 (talk) 01:52, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
