ThoughUnlessUntilWhether has already been established as a ColScott sock, see Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/SqueakBox. I blocked TheOddler as an obvious sock. This request is to check for sleeper accounts and register new IPs. ·:· Will Beback ·:· 05:28, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

In looking over a series of contributions & edits involving sock puppets of User:ColScott, one of which was banned (User:FoolsRushIn), in relationship to edits conducted on Charles Manson, a suspicion has been raised about the identify of User:BassPlyr23 (talk|contributions). At best it's only a suspicion, however I noticed a similar comment left by FoolsRushIn on his own talk page where he opened with "Dude". Until I came across that, I wasn't very convinced. However Bassplyr23 left a comment on another editor's page starting out the same way. I know it's not a lot, but there is the same interest in the Manson page, using the same vernacular and the bordering on incivility I've seen in confirmed ColScott/puppet posts. Is there a way that you can check this and clarify whether it's the same person? If it is, then it will prevent a huge effort in working through issues regarding the Manson page. Thanks.

..and here I was just going to open a request for NomeKing as a likely ColScott sockpuppet; instead I will tack it on here. Editing style is consistent with ColScott, but I'd rather be sure.--Isotope23 ^talk 16:18, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

Nevermind. Per this, NomeKing is most definitely ColScott. I'll leave the user up there for comparision with BassPlyr23.--Isotope23 ^talk 17:46, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

Unrelated. ColScott is stale, as are many of his socks. A comparison of NomeKing (now confirmed as ColScott on behaviour only) and BassPlyr23 showed no similarities. If you have more ColScott socks I can check BassPlyr23 against, please provide their usernames here. --Deskana (talk) 16:53, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

I'd say it's not worth bothering. I've had more than a few interactions with ColScott and personally I don't think BassPlyr23 shows any of the usual characteristics of ColScott editing.--Isotope23 ^talk 16:55, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

• Code letter: F, possible ban evasion

Spawnopedia (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · block user · block log) recreated nearly word-for-word as Patty Columbo the article previously deleted as Patricia Columbo, created by the banned user ColScott (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · block user · block log). Note that we have serious WP:BLP concerns about this article, which both ColScott and and Spawnopedia have dismissed for the same reason--that Ms. Columbo has been convicted of a crime.

Here is a relevant diff for the indefinite block of ColScott, more evidence is on his talk page: diff. GRBerry 19:32, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

• Note: Spawnopedia has now been blocked for 48 hours, with the concurrence of three administrators (none of them me) for trolling related to the article ColScott created. Chick Bowen 20:12, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
• I upped that to indef as this is an egregious WP:BLP violation. But please confirm, if you don't mind, to forestall further aggravation. Guy (Help!) 20:51, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
