 * Evidence

Request sock check on various edits from anonymous IPs on the Indian Rebellion article. That page has seen a sudden spurt in anonymous edits after User:DemolitionMan was banned for a week, for sockpuppetry ...

202.177.230.212 - recent appearance on Wikipedia, editing only the Indian Rebellion of 1857 page and its talk page. Making more or less the same points friend User:DemolitionMan was making .. except "Revolutionary" instead of "Patriotic" in the infobox, some preference for First War of Indian Independence etc. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/202.177.230.212

203.123.144.131, which is certainly User:DemolitionMan, still active after being suspended. - note the Rv Vandalism, and his use of User:DemolitionMan's favorite ephitet for me, "Janitor" .. now that is something I will probably add to my sig. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/203.123.144.131

124.176.179.63 - another IP that seems to be new to wikipedia and only interested in this article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/124.176.179.63

My own observations: Ronnotel 17:38, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
 * User:203.123.144.131 is almost certainly User:DemolitionMan, recommend indef block for evasion.
 * User:202.177.230.212 is unclear but newness of account is suspicious, no recommendation
 * User:124.176.179.63 is unlikely to be a sock account, note that it reverted one 203.123.144.131's edits.

Wow. There's more. Sockcheck on User:Texankudiya please. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Texankudiya .. extended interest, in the rebellion article, plus also Honourable East India Company. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hserus (talk • contribs) 16:31, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

FWIW, I have now indef blocked User:DemolitionMan for a blatantly offensive personal attack on his talk page. Ronnotel 18:23, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

DemoliationMan already indef blocked. you can't block IPs indef, blocked 213 for one week. — Rlevse  •  Talk  • 00:10, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
