[edit] NicAgent

Originally this user was blocked after creating a large number of sockpuppets used for vandalism, personal attacks etc. After that user was blocked User:Harrison V appears claiming to know User:NicAgent and tagging various sockpuppets as being socks of User:NicAgent. Later User:How dare you? also appears.

  • User:How dare you? despite being a new user soon gets the hang of things and seems to know quite a lot.

During the same time period other accounts following the User:NicAgent vandalism style, e.g. Railer_nnn type accounts and User:Timothy McVeigh whose contributions match the socks of User:NicAgent (whom How dare you? added to one of the long term abuse pages) Many of these can be found in Category:Suspected Wikipedia sockpuppets of NicAgent

Note: As you might expect, there's a raft of sockpuppets, most of which I suspect have been blocked. I'll go over the logs later. Mackensen (talk) 17:13, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

Given this edit, you can probably add User:Z6 to the list. --pgk(talk) 17:19, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

Note: I've tagged another fifty or so and blocked at least a dozen. I've banned the IP in question (should have a long time ago) and am further investigating other socks. Mackensen (talk) 21:36, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

Clerk note: Mackensen, are we done here? --Srikeit (Talk | Email) 08:43, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
