 * Evidence

Some time ago, Blake911 created an account and then proceeded to make an article about himself, Blake Van Leer. It was deleted after a successful AFD nomination. He also started working on articles for other members of his family (some notable, others not), as well as arguing for the deletion of an article, Shadowclan. Mikemiddleton's account came into existence on January 10 and immediately started making same sort of edits as Blake911, including a botched AFD nomination attempt for the Shadowclan article, edits to surviving articles on members of the Van Leer family, and even recreating the Blake Van Leer article. Finally&mdash;this is somewhat subjective&mdash;but Blake911 and Mikemiddleton also appear to have the same usage of English grammar, such as an absolute aversion to commas other than to create comma splices (compare talk page contribs).

 * Update: Waargboom appears to be another one for the same reasons as Mikemiddleton. This one is harrassing me, too, so any help would be appreciated. Simões ( talk/contribs ) 02:14, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Update 2: I added a small collection of IPs that have the same, limited editing activities as all the rest. Simões ( talk/contribs ) 01:36, 7 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Comments
 * All these suspected sockpuppet accounts have be replacing the same link to the deleted Blake Van Leer article at the Van Leer disambiguation page . After he ignored several warnings, I blocked  for 24hrs for disruptive editing, and then  and  for the same period as obvious sockpuppets being used to circumvent a block. I am satisfied, from this editing pattern, that all these suspected accounts are operated by the same user.  Rockpock  e  t  03:17, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

Since an admin took action on this complaint and there's been no further objectionable behavior, I'm going to go ahead and close the case. --Akhilleus (talk) 00:38, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
