The IP edits all of the sockpuppets' userpages and the users themselves never do anything about it, and they edit the Spongebob page.

These accounts are not being used abusivley (I don't think) so yeah. Cheers, JetLover (Talk) (Sandbox) 23:47, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I have had some interaction with these users. It seems that they are cousins or somesuch, according to a comment on my talkpage (User talk:Ck_lostsword). ck lostsword • T  •  C  23:59, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Yeah, but i just don't see why they'd edit their own userpages. Cheers, JetLover (Talk) (Sandbox) 00:00, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I know - odd isn't it? They seemed to originally share the Fablehaven account originally as well - even better. ck lostsword • T  •  C  00:09, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
 * One left a message for me. "Hi this is mrbsball825, and i am sorry for any inconvience. My cousins, brother, and I are bored out of our minds since we're on summer break. Crocsie is only 9 and he really doesn't understand that he should respect other people's userpages. sorry once again."
 * I suspect that WP:AGF comes into play here. Perhaps if the accounts start being used used abusively they should be blocked, but in the mean time we should just monitor their edits and let them be ... as 4 accounts and 2 IPs :S. Maybe a short semi-protect on the userpages would deter their using IPs? ck lostsword • T  •  C  04:15, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Agreed. Cheers, JetLover (Talk) (Sandbox) 04:25, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
 * 1. What is sockpuppeting?! 2. Only one person can have a certain IP. Two people can't have the same ones...
 * Could someone please explain to me why I'm even related to this page? I have a sticky IP address, so I'm the only one with mmy specific address, so how could other people be using it? There's no reason I should be on this list, as far as I can see. Elfred 01:49, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Not sock puppets per se, but could be used as meat puppets. Contributions to be monitored. If abusive, all accounts may be indef blocked. In the short term, a brief semi-protect on the user pages will deter the IPs from editing them. ck lostsword • T  •  C  09:57, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
