 * Suspected sockpuppets

Highly similar names, all with fairly similar editing styles (though Zacharyi hasn't edited since '06 and 8222 since '08, so I'm not really sure what to make of those two, despite the edits to each others pages...). I'm going to call the whole lot of them ducks though. Thejadefalcon Sing your song The bird's seeds 23:50, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

 * User:Zach88999 was blocked for block evasion. --Taelus (talk) 01:18, 16 January 2010 (UTC)
 * To Juliancolton, sorry, I forgot to update this. I reported one of these to AIV and then started this SPI. Trusilver came alone and commented on my talk page.


 * Thanks for the heads up on this one. I went ahead and blocked the two active and obvious socks, I see no reason to hold off doing it, this user obviously has no intention of being productive, and never has. Trusilver  00:44, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
 * You're welcome. I wasn't totally sure if the one reported to AIV was blockable because, as I then found out while researching the SPI, they hadn't edited for years. -- Thejadefalcon Sing your song The bird's seeds 00:49, 15 January 2010 (UTC)


 * However, the recent activity between the Zachs got me confused so I just thought I'd report the lot of them despite the outdatedness and ask for a second opinion. -- Thejadefalcon Sing your song The bird's seeds 18:27, 16 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Clerk, patrolling admin and checkuser comments
 * Not sure what the point is, since the accounts that aren't blocked haven't been active for several years. – Juliancolton  &#124; Talk 15:52, 16 January 2010 (UTC)

all unblocked accounts are currently, feel free to re-open the case if they start editing. SpitfireTally-ho! 23:43, 16 January 2010 (UTC)
