Evidence submitted by Fences and windows
Zengar Zombolt was blocked and then indef blocked by myself on the 13th February for repeated incivility, after they 'retired' with an offensive comment and edit summary. GetOutFrog was created on the 14th Feb. Their first edit was to Something Awful, a forum on which Zengar Zombolt posts.

They drew my attention by awarding a barnstar to Zengar Zombolt post-block. They've edited two pages that Zengar Zombolt was involved in disputes over, Crucifixion in the arts and Talk:Asperger syndrome. Fences &amp;  Windows  00:58, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

looks like a duck to me, but I'd like to have a check for an possible IP blocks be done, thanks SpitfireTally-ho! 07:46, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
 * ✅ Quack quack. But from what I saw, nothing that would prompted me to perform IP blocks. - Mailer Diablo 18:46, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

Evidence submitted by SandyGeorgia

 * Evidence of similar editing to Mattisse here and here (discussion with her Arb-approved advisers on her Arb Plan/Alerts page) includes targetting editors Malleus Fautorum  and Moni3,  targeting a Casliber FA (Lion)—all known members of Mattisse's "plague list" from her ArbCom—familiar theme of "cabalism" and "I thought anyone can edit Wiki", a similar and complex monobook.js to Mattisse's, targeting articles at FAC (Brad Pitt), and tagging dead links and failed verification similar to Mattisse
 * Past "granny defense" mentions grandchildren who may be able to create accounts for a blocked user from other locations (grandchildren would likely be highschool or college age, based on other info given, and she mentioned during the Harvey Milk FAC having lived in CA when he was killed)
 * University of Arizona IP reverts at QuattroBajeena
 * Past history of socking shows adaptability in edit summaries, emoticons, etc to initially hide socks
 * Mattisse edited last on 25 February at 0016, and did not edit from that account again that day until 14:23. was started at 01:39 same day, an hour and 23 minutes after last edit from Mattisse. Two hours ten minutes later, at 03:49,  account was started.  Other sleeper accounts may have been created in the interim hours between Mattisse's last edit and Charles Rodriguez's account creation.
 * Timeline and editing pattern under construction at User:Laser brain/Sandbox

Accounts blocked, but I ask for clarification to the checkusers as to whom these socks belong to ("the above" is not saying enough for me). –MuZemike 08:07, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Ah, sorry MuZemike. These are all socks of Mattisse. Risker (talk) 08:11, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Just to make sure: what about, previously confirmed to be GetOutFrog here? Is that also a Mattisse sock? Tim Song (talk) 08:15, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

All accounts (re)tagged as socks of Mattisse. –MuZemike 17:25, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

Please note: Further review with additional checkusers has revealed that, while, and  are all socks, they are actually ✅ socks of. The editorial behaviour of QuattroBajeena closely correlates with that of Mattisse, but it is clear this was coincidental; the editorial behaviour of the other socks does not correlate. The IP block should remain in place, as the socking behaviour is confirmed, it is just linked to a different account. Alison will log on later to confirm this finding. Apologies to our fine SPI clerks for messing up the archives. Risker (talk) 07:21, 11 March 2010 (UTC)


 * I'd also like to endorse what Risker states above, as I have independently verified these results. So, the following accounts are ✅ as being socks of ;
