User:Ebeing currently blocked for 1 month for WP:POINT campaign using anon IPs as well as username. New user Wikibeing's first edit is an exact match for previous edits of Ebeing. Not to mention that usernames are suspiciously similar
 * Evidence

I have blocked Ebeing. This one was patently obvious. Perhaps, Mfield or someone else who has been keeping track, we could get a master list of this guys socks and IPs. If this continues, in the future, we should consider filing an checkuser request to root out sock-farms, or possibly institute some form of rangeblock or something. I don't think its gotten there yet, and so far we've been able to keep up with him just playing whack-a-mole, but it would be most helpful to have a complete list of this guys socks and IPs in one place; incase we need it in the future... --Jayron32. talk . contribs 02:27, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

 * The 72.91.101.162 is an obvious sockpuppet, that you also blocked I believe. It was the original IP that Ebeing started logging out and using and has a comprehensive contributions history to back it. Mfield (talk) 02:55, 10 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Ebeing has previously sockpuppeted as 97.102.107.120, but this IP has not been used since 30 September 2008 so may be out of date. Again, the contributions history is conclusive and the history of this IP's talk page also shows warnings for vandalism. Charlie Tango (talk) 23:52, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

Another IP to watch - 209.173.137.84. Just made two edits to same articles, removing external links, in one case incorrectly. Mfield (talk) 20:30, 11 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Whois turns up different ISPs for all 3. Two locate to northern virginia, and one locates to Cincinnati Ohio.  Given this suspicious difference in ISPs, I have submitted all 3 for open proxy scans.  --Jayron32. talk . contribs  21:51, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

Closed. Confirmed sockpuppets have been blocked. —BradV 04:01, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
 * It doesn't look to me as if this page can help further since both accounts and one of the IPs have already been blocked. XLinkBot or WP:BLACKLIST may be useful to stop spamming. Any objections to closing this? —S MALL  JIM   23:46, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
