I have identified previous socks of this user. These match the same editing patterns and the usernames are giveaways. Could we talk to this person and convince them to use just one account, and maybe join WP:ADOPT? Jehochman Talk 21:17, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

 * Diffs would really be useful to show exactly what you are talking about. — BQZip01 —  talk 04:47, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I think this is a pretty clear cut case.  Lara  ❤  Love  20:13, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm not saying it isn't clear-cut from your point of view, but I'm sorry, but I just don't see a violation of WP:SOCK upon looking at a cursory glance through contributions, though the names are extremely similar. Furthermore, the instructions at WP:SSP state "All your statements should be supported by diffs." — BQZip01 —  talk 21:06, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
 * There appear to be inconsistencies between the sockpuppeteer's edits and those of the sockpuppets. However, the sockpuppets edits are very similar (i.e. Oregon etc.) and the name would seem to suggest a clear-cut case of sockpuppetry. Will leave open to other administrators though.

 * As stated in the previous case it appears that creation of multiple accounts is being used to make a clean start or possibly to avoid scrutiny. A similar pattern of edits is being seen as in the previous instance, hence the suspicion of sockpuppetry. --Stewart (talk) 22:01, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Blocked all indef. Clear socking. Also consider master has a history of socking, see his confirmed category and last month's SSP case, and his block log. — Rlevse  •  Talk  • 15:26, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
