• Code letter: C

All these users are suspected of being JoanneB's sockpuppets used for creating attack pages. Well, JoanneB, after all, is really the Communism vandal. --FireyFireMan 09:57, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

Note: What? JoanneB is an admin! This also seems to be a single purpose account. I'd throw this one out. MER-C 10:22, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

Aaaah, but JoanneB is acting like Karmafist was.... you should know she is the Communism vandal... it's a little-known fact I'm making public!! --FireyFireMan 10:34, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

Actually, I think you're a sockpuppet of Karmafist (talk • contribs • block user • block log • checkuser). Could you checkuser this account instead? MER-C 10:46, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

That would be my move too, MER-C, JoanneB being the communist vandal is as likely as the moon actually being made of cheese. --Alf ^melmac 14:03, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

• Confirmed. That FireyFireMan is Karmafist. He's also been creating lots of socks, and tagging their user pages with false sockpuppet tags (e.g. Zephram Stark, Primetime, Bobby Boulders, Word Bomb). Jayjg ^(talk) 18:18, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

Two more socks to check:

• Wordywiseman (talk • contribs • block user • block log • checkuser) This account has a false {{SockpuppetCheckuser|WordBomb}} tag on its user page, exhibiting the same behavior as the proven socks above and editing Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Yungun, which the above socks edited.

• 213.162.236.9 (talk • contribs • WHOIS • block user • block log • checkip) Suspected sock on the vote page these socks edited, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Yungun. MER-C suspects that this is another banned user sock. I think that this could be Karmafist. Jesse Viviano 20:51, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
  • That's an open proxy, and I've blocked indefinitely. Mackensen (talk) 11:24, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

• Confirmed. And Julius Broyne (talk • contribs • logs • block user • block log) and Plantgerd (talk • contribs • logs • block user • block log) and Peksneak (talk • contribs • logs • block user • block log) and several others, all now tagged. Jayjg ^(talk) 18:23, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Karmafist

• Karmafist (talk • contribs • block user • block log • checkuser)
• Broad Street (talk • contribs • block user • block log • checkuser)

The user has made claims off-wiki (here) that they are using a sockpuppet (listed above) in attempt to cause major harm to Wikipedia, and advise others of how to ruin Wikipedia's credibility. Should a link be found, it could prove as evidence should the main account also be blocked for disruption. Ian¹³/t 09:21, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

Declined. Karmafist was already found to be using sockpuppets; he was banned and then unbanned. This account's activity dates before said events. Mackensen (talk) 13:00, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

Whoops. Thanks. I presumed that the lack of a Karmafist subpage meant it hadn't been checked. Ian¹³/t 19:19, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

The check was discussed on the administrator's noticeboard. Thatcher131 (talk) 00:32, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
