User:Larry Lawrence
I'm just going to copy and paste the entry from WP:RFCU since the edit summaries and history is pretty self-evident that Larry Lawrence is running a large number of sockpuppets for the purpose of avoiding being in violation of wikipolicies such as WP:3RR:

After further review I may have misidentified Larry Lawrence as a possible Esaborio sockpuppet, but there are a lot of similarities in Larry Lawrence and the three four other accounts I've listed. If you look at their edit summaries they all have the unusual linking of POV and Talk in their edit summaries when reverting entries and seem to appear for a revert when one is in danger of violating 3RR. Buy1 and E Pluribus have similar user pages and all show similar edit patterns or seem to be a lot more knowledgable of Wikipedia than their edit count should afford.--Bobblehead 20:52, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Note the linking to the actual page Talk and not to the respective talk page, which would be expected. Also the frequent misuse of a comma as a period (ex. ,,, rather than ...) ~ Rangeley ( talk ) 21:07, 9 August 2006 (UTC)


 * I have blocked Larry Lawrence, Buy1get1free and Kevin Taylor for being socks; but I don't feel that Lunchtime and E Pluribus Koryn are sock. Their use of the edit summary are quite normal. Feel free to take to RFCU or comment further. Iola k ana |T  16:24, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
 * RFCU was created and all of the above accounts plus and  were confirmed as sockpuppets. See this RFCU for more details. If it is alright, I'll go ahead and add the sockpuppet templates to their account? Well, I'll go ahead and do it. If it's not alright, feel free to undo. My bad. Already done.;) --Bobblehead 15:14, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
