 * Evidence
 * SimpsonsFan08 is a continual sockpuppeteer who likes The Simpsons (for previous cases see here and here). The most recent sockpuppet, User:King Monty IV, was blocked on 00:14, 21 May. He then logged in and posted an unblock request at 14:52, 21 May. This was swiftly declined by User:Jpgordon at 15:05, 21 May.
 * The account User:Doughnuts...Mmm! was created at 16:12, 21 May 2008. Like SimsFan and King Monty IV, Doughnuts...Mmm! also edited at the help desk on his second edit, claiming he didn't know how to join The Simpsons Wikiproject, another project which SimpsonsFan 08 was part of. I find the writing in this edit by Doughnuts...Mmm! to be very similar to that employed by User:MrWP here, another SimpsonsFan08 sockpuppet, who pretended not to know how to edit pages; this is a common trait in SimpsonsFan08 sockpuppets, as also found on the blocked SimsFan's user page "I didn't even known you could edit. That just shows how stupid I am."
 * Doughnuts...Mmm! claims on his user page that his new IP is 92.4.168.190 and says that this IP is only used by his family. However, this IP is in the same range as User:92.5.36.7, a sockpuppet IP used by SimsFan and King Monty IV, and also in the same range as 92.0.34.53, the IP SimpsonsFan08 claimed to use. SimpsonsFan08 and his socks claimed that the two latter IPs were in a shared network with his friends; clearly the "shared network" or "just my family" story is incorrect.
 * Finally, Doughnuts...Mmm! effectively asked another user for a barnstar, saying he liked it and that he did some good editing. SimpsonsFan08 has shown his penchant for barnstars in the past here and here. EJF (talk) 22:32, 21 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Comments
 * I'd say this is pretty conclusive. The socks keep coming. I like how he mentions on his userpage the "2 or 3 computers on the network" this time.  Enigma  message 22:44, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Also, the pages in userspace should probably be deleted. here, http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3AAllPages&from=SimpsonsFan2008&namespace=2 and here]  Enigma  message 23:36, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
