 * Evidence

User:LAS1180 has been responsible for a number of "sneaky vandalism" type attacks, consisting of changes to dates of birth or infoboxes. The most recent was here, for which he/she received a level 4 (immediate) warning. The edit was repeated eight minutes later, using the account of User:B15nes7. The vandalism was reverted but User:B15nes7 has inserted it once again.

LAS1180 has added a supposed source to an image with disputed copyright status ("This file is in the public domain, as it was found on the World Wide Web.") uploaded by B15nes7. B15nes7 has indulged in a small number of unhelpful changes to userboxes or dates of birth in the style of LAS1180: examples here and here and here. I haven't listed them all. Not all the edits from either user are vandalism, and I have not reverted all changes, if I haven't evidence that they are wrong.

Support this as a violation of WP:SOCK identical low-level vandalism requires a response. — BQZip01 — talk 21:57, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

Support same reason. Also, User:Torvalds (newly created 2008-01-30) shows the same behavior, see Seymour Cray. Paul Koning (talk) 22:36, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

Support - undoubtedly the same person, who now seems to be totally out of control and is so persistant that keeping track of their vandalism is getting increasingly difficult. Nick Cooper (talk) 00:40, 1 February 2008 (UTC) Both accounts are being used for persistent, but low-level, vandalism. The sock account continued the vandalism when the "master" account was at risk of a block. Old Moonraker (talk) 08:18, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
