 * Suspected sockpuppets

I would like to request that the concerned IP be blocked from editing, and the account be blocked indefinitely. I have reason to believe that the IP address belongs to User:Wilspaul. The user has been currently blocked for repeatedly vandalizing the Roman Catholic Brahmin article. The concern about the IP has been expressed by User:Seb_az86556 as well, as can be seen in the article's history page. The edits of the IP shows the same biases towards Indian Christians as the user. After being blocked, the IP has vandalized the article by adding a false forum link as reference and added nonsensical tags without a reason. As such, i would further request the concerned administrator to semi-protect the article so that only auto-confirmed users can edit it. Furthermore, please perform a user check and block all the accounts that have been created through the IP. Thanks! Joyson Noel Holla at me!  15:02, 18 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Correction: The forum post was added as reference by User:Wilspaul, before he was blocked. Joyson Noel  Holla at me!  15:32, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

 * I've blocked the IP for three days and warned the user to log in to edit. It seems to me that the editor started using the IP after they were initially blocked and just didn't log in after that, so hopefully that rectifies the issue. As to the content of their edits, if that's a problem then take it to ANI or AIV or something. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 04:13, 4 March 2011 (UTC)

 * Suspected sockpuppets




 * User compare report Auto-generated every hour.

This user's behavior shows an uncanny resemblance to that of a banned editor User:Jobxavier, who was banned in 2008 for his disruptive edits to Indian Christian articles, and for sockpuppeteering through anon IPs and user accounts. My reason for believing them to be sockpuppets are as follows: The fellow has been inactive since March. But i would like to ensure that the account is blocked indefinitely as a sockpuppet, and that all accounts made from the IP are indefinitely blocked as well, just to prevent him from returning and make a nuisance of himself yet again.

 * Both users have shared prejudices and animosities against Indian Christians, and also have spewed personal attacks against Indian Christians and conspiracy theories that they want to convert Hindus by offering financial incentives, and that they are being helped by Western Christian agencies in doing so. See this and this, this, this, and this for Wilspaul, and this, this and this for Jobxavier.
 * Wilspaul has also been blocked twice himself, and like Jobxavier, he continues to attack Christians, and Wikipedia/Wikipedians for being biased; in his talk page after being blocked.
 * The similarities in their usernames being Christian, while the nature of the edits being that of a radical Hindutva fanatic.
 * Even if it is a suspected sockpuppet? Joyson Noel  Holla at me!  13:57, 2 November 2011 (UTC)
 * There's no action to be taken. Blocking 6 months after its last edit is blocking for punishment, not disruption prevention, sorry.  Alexandria   (talk)  13:59, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

 * Blocking an account that's more than six months inactive has little to no appreciable gains. This case is rather stale, and there's nothing really to be done here. Relist if the master becomes active again. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 12:16, 2 November 2011 (UTC)
