Pair of single purpose accounts promoting Johnathan James Recor - WizardofNorwalk seems to have been created to get around the restriction for removing speedy deletion templates from articles WizardofWestport created. WP:DUCK, and all that. MikeWazowski (talk) 17:19, 26 October 2011 (UTC)

Two new single purpose accounts, adding a massive amount of promotional content identical to the original accounts. WP:DUCK, block evasion, and all that. MikeWazowski (talk) 15:36, 1 November 2011 (UTC)

 * might as well weed out any sleepers, user was already blocked a week by me for socking. Alexandria   (talk)  15:39, 1 November 2011 (UTC)
 * . Dartmouth14 and Ondrelique appear technically ❌, and geographically I don't think sockpuppetry is realistic. WilliamH (talk) 16:59, 1 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Huh - color me surprised. However, I still believe there's some meatpuppetry going on here - these new SPAs only targeted the specific articles edited/created by WizardofWestport. MikeWazowski (talk) 17:51, 1 November 2011 (UTC)
 * From my perspective, that would seem a more likely explanation. WilliamH (talk) 17:55, 1 November 2011 (UTC)
 * I've blocked the IP as a proxy. No comment on any association. WilliamH (talk) 18:16, 1 November 2011 (UTC)


 * I've blocked all three indefinitely. A loud quacking sort of gives it way, more so since a proxy has been used.  Alexandria   (talk)  18:29, 1 November 2011 (UTC)

One of the SPAs that popped up during the AfD discussion for Johnathan James Recor, an article they just recreated. MikeWazowski (talk) 19:26, 27 November 2011 (UTC)

Looks ❌ to me. –MuZemike 19:31, 27 November 2011 (UTC)
 * The previously deleted article and the current one are rather different, so my guess is that the person created this from scratch. Closing for now. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 19:35, 27 November 2011 (UTC)
 * As I can't see the deleted article, I was going by my memory - however, the image they're using is one uploaded by the original sockmaster. MikeWazowski (talk) 20:32, 27 November 2011 (UTC)
