Wikipedia talk:Sockpuppet investigations/Highyack07

Recommend re-opening case and keeping it open
It appears that highyack07 is back as User:Train12. I was doing recent changes patrol and just happened to see that he editted his userpage to reflect the Train name along with the picture of Robert McNamara which feeds his persona.--Morenooso (talk) 16:14, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

One sockpuppet seems to have been missed - George Sterner
George Sterner was somehow missed. He editted his userpage to reflect the Train persona ala highyack07.--Morenooso (talk) 20:41, 9 March 2010 (UTC)
 * He wasn't missed, he just wasn't listed becuase he was already blocked SpitfireTally-ho! 20:42, 9 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Not really. Somehow he was not listed as one of the suspected sockpuppets but I think I included him in the direct observations. If you review his userpage revisions, you will see how he assumed the Train persona of Robert McNamara just like highyack07.--Morenooso (talk) 20:47, 9 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, but it's a moot point, since all the accounts that have been used by Highyack07 are now blocked. I have also tagged George Sterner as a suspected sock of Highyack07 for informational purposes. SpitfireTally-ho! 20:51, 9 March 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't think it is moot. highyack07 came back two times while this case was prematurely closed. I firmly believe he has another account Wikipedia is unaware of and that he will be back as another sockpuppet.--Morenooso (talk) 20:57, 9 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Mailer diablo ran a check on Highyack07, in which he identified all the accounts that may be socks of Highyack07. All of those accounts (including George Sterner) are now blocked and tagged, so the case has been archived. At SPI cases are archived after all current sockpuppets/suspected sockpuppets are dealt with, if any more sockpuppets come up in future then the case is re submitted; we don't leave cases open indefinitely. Kind regards, SpitfireTally-ho! 21:00, 9 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Whatever has turned up has already been blocked. This looks pretty much an open and shut case, so I'm not worried about this one. - Mailer Diablo 21:06, 9 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Looks like another anonymous IP just editted Train12's userpage back to the Train persona ala highyack07. I had totally forgotten about User:69.122.40.229 but I think I included him in the observations section. He has a sockpuppet tag too.--Morenooso (talk) 22:29, 9 March 2010 (UTC)
