 * Evidence
 * This case revolves around a persistent POV-pusher and disruptive editor problem on Chiropractic and related pages and talk pages.
 * was blocked for activities related to Chiropractic.  See block log.
 * redirects to CorticoSpinal, so I believe that sock is obvious.
 * and have edited Chiropractic in a disruptive manner such as POV edits, removal of consensus material, POV edits, and talk page discussions all similar to the activities and editing of CorticoSpinal.
 * Signs one of his IP edits
 * Forgot to sign in while evading a block using the same IP.est.
 * AGK's post to Soyuz113's page.
 * Both CorticoSpinal and Soyuz113 have used the word spam in an edit summary when deleting talk page text.


 * Comments
 * The socks of CorticoSpinal, who is indefinitely blocked, should also be blocked immediately.
 * EBDCM was CorticoSpinal's original username, this account was renamed and redirected so is not a sock. However, I find it very suspicious that the "new" editor Soyuz113 should designate their second edit as minor, diff. This certainly looks like a sock to me.

 * I didn't know this. My recollection was that one or the other were caught being socks, and someone created the redirect.  In either case, shouldn't someone put something up to that effect?   Orange Marlin  Talk• Contributions 21:08, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I have explained the history of all this here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_checkuser/Case/CorticoSpinal -- Fyslee / talk 06:00, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

Soyuz113 and associated IP blocked. I have anon-blocked the IP at the top of this report and indefinitely blocked Soyuz113. This is a fairly clear case of block evasion and sockpuppetry. Any further incidents should result in a community ban proposal. Both accounts edit the same topics, sharing the exact same view, pushing the same type of content changes, with the same attitude and approach, and even edit from the same IP. (For example, both users made it clear they wish to include material indicating the effectiveness of manual manipulation for neck issues, have spinal manipulation information removed from the chiropractic article, and sharply reduce the amount of information about a portion of chiropractors opposing vaccination.) Soyuz113 started off using full edit summaries and diving immediately into the altmed controversy with a principal focus on chiropractic. The account is at best used as a "bad hand" account or is a proxy for blocked users (meatpuppet). User blocked and notified. Vassyana (talk) 06:10, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Conclusions

Addition of Neuraxis
Since this is stale, I'm not opening a new case, but it needs to be registered here. appears to be a sock of CorticoSpinal. Take a look at the edit summaries for both accounts! This has DUCK written all over it in all caps. This is on top of the already established identical location, plus all the identical professions, interests, editing habits, and behavioral issues which got both of them indef blocked. -- Brangifer (talk) 01:51, 27 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Agree with this, the similarities are very WP:DUCK-y.   02:47, 27 July 2014 (UTC)
 * I'm adding Mallexikon due to the same extreme similarity of edit summaries, and I'm lining up all three for easy comparison:
