Looks like a match. I recommend an indef-block on all three user accounts, which have no productive edits among them. The person behind these accounts is welcome to start over under a new identity.

Agreed; fairly obvious socks based on contrib pattern. Rura112 and Volve blocked indefinitely; the sockmaster account, Wanad, blocked for an additional 72 hours. IP's to be blocked as needed if further sockpuppetry becomes apparent. MastCell Talk 21:32, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
