Yardus maximus and Yardus minimus share a common interest in vandalizing Aqua Teen Hunger Force (Y.max diff), (Y.min diff) and related articles.
 * Evidence

All accounts have been involved in repeated creation of nonsense articles under various "Yardus" names:
 * Yardus (deletion log)
 * Yardus 5555 (deletion log)
 * YrdusV4 (deletion log)
 * Yardus v5 (deletion log)
 * Yardus v1 (deletion log)
 * Yardus prime (deletion log) (added May 2)

Yardus maximus was active (and was blocked) on 4/16. Remaining accounts have appeared between 4/26 and 5/1--none of these are currently blocked.

Similarity of names, similar vandalism to the same article which involves the base name, and creation of several nonsense articles using same base name - all seems suspicious to me. Definitely looks to me like Sock-puppetry or impersonation. Od Mishehu 20:08, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

 * No contributions from that account yet, but we have yet another account, Yardus prime, and this one has posted to his user and talk pages approximately the same nonsense content as was in the previous Yardus articles. I've tagged that user page and added it to the official list here.  In other news, Yardus minimus inflicted further vandalism on various ATHF pages and was given a 48-hour block. -- Finngall   talk  20:56, 2 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Conclusions

All obvious throwaway/disruption socks, all have been blocked indef. Puppeteer was already blocked indef. Seraphimblade Talk to me 07:24, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
