 * Check the contrib list : user User:ObamaGirlMachine shows up after a month of inactivity, just to revert back to a version by User:QuirkyAndSuch a few minutes after being blocked for disruption. ≈ jossi ≈ (talk) 16:35, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Comments
 * These two accounts do seem very closely related. It seems, that ObamaGirlMachine, goes in, and, asks on the talkpage that the article be deleted, then, QuirkyAndSuch, pastes in a support in short order . This happens again and again and again and yet again. They support each other in other places as well, again, pretty close together time-wise (altho in this instance they are seperated by a couple hours).

 * Suggest consider topic ban of all Barack Obama-related articles given that most of the disruption was related to this topic, user was disrupting the articles in bad faith, and even after being warned and clearly receiving the warning that the articles were on probation the user continued to sock/edit war, make accusations wikigame, and canvass (X 22), and file bad-faith administrative actions after receiving the notice.

 * I wonder if this group might be connected more widely to any of the other sock families or instigators on the Obama articles. Wikidemo (talk) 17:34, 26 August 2008 (UTC)


 * I think that this is very clear. Propose to indef block one of the accounts. ≈ jossi ≈ (talk) 23:24, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm in agreement, and I added ChingyThingy to the mix here. Same crap, same article relation, nip this in the bud. seicer  &#x007C;  talk  &#x007C;  contribs  13:48, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Indeed, that does seem to be related, and, the writing looks similar to me. SQL Query me!  19:01, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
