I have notified the admin who issued the block that triggered this. Three users caught in one autoblock who are all editing the same article. Very interesting. — Rlevse  •  Talk  • 01:21, 13 January 2008 (UTC)


 * I'd say that's a veeeeerrry interesting coincidence. My thinking on the ShadowpuppetKing block was that this account entirely and completely failed the 'sniff test'.
 * The account appeared on 31 December and immediately dove into edit warring on an article with a history of conflict.
 * Today it was slapping spurious sockpuppet tags on userpages ...
 * ...and leaving borderline harrassing messages on user talk pages:.
 * Plus, of course, there's the 'puppet' in the name. Innocent by itself, but rather conspicuous in a 'how stupid do you think we are' sort of way in combination with the other factors.  The fact that the autoblock snagged all three is the icing on the cake. TenOfAllTrades(talk) 01:38, 13 January 2008 (UTC)


 * To expand on Luna Santin's comment, the diff where Saxon identifies himself as being snared in ShadowpuppetKing's autoblock is here. I don't know who the master of all the socks is, though there have been a number of ill-behaved users at List of Doctor Who serials who are likely candidates.  A checkuser might be the best way to identify the master. TenOfAllTrades(talk) 05:27, 13 January 2008 (UTC)


 * The following are checkuser-verified as the same user:

All blocked indef and tagged. Except onthe last three on JP's list they showed up as "username doesn't exist" when I tried to block them. This is apparently because they were renamed. — Rlevse  •  Talk  • 13:23, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
