User:Sponkerde

 * Evidence

This appears to be the North Carolina Vandal back in action. The user nominated as the vandal may not be the correct sockmaster.

Lot's of edits in quick succession to Articles for deletion/Elitism (an AfD closed for over 6 months). Each user has no contribs other than their vote to AfD. Seems to be a similar pattern occuring on Hayesville, North Carolina, leading to these suspects:



These editors also appear to be socks involved in the vandalism of Elitism:

From Elitism 2nd AfD:

From Elitism 3rd AfD:

Found 7/16/2006

I'm tagging User:Sponkerde because he was the first vandal to attack the Elitism AfD. I suspect that these are socks of an established vandal, but I can't figure anything to that effect. I apologize for an errors in the report...I've never posted here before. Alphachimp talk  01:40, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

 * I watched alot of this transpire, on Articles for deletion/Elitism, but also on Articles for deletion/Elitism (2nd nomination), and now Articles for deletion/Elitism (3rd nomination). I am glad that all these accounts are assembled for future reference because they do seem to stem from one user. DVD+ R/W 02:03, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Per this edit, all socks have been blocked with the subst:NCV template applied to their userpages. They now join the fine ranks of NCV socks. Alphachimp  talk  02:20, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
 * I just added a few more aliases that I found today. I reported them to WP:AIV. Alphachimp  talk  02:45, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Where did you find them, by the way? DVD+ R/W 02:49, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
 * I decided to go digging a little bit deeper into the list of articles frequented by the North Carolina Vandal (check out his awesome page.). I looked back in their histories for editors performing vandalism that appeared to be new users. I then checked their contribs. Turns out that they were all already blocked.
