These are the accounts listed in the most recent suspected sockpuppetry case. Dr.Sobelioni appears to be part of the set of accounts that were checked in the last checkuser request and the others appear to be a new set of accounts. BlueAzure (talk) 18:21, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

Clerk note: Dr.Sobelioni, Relaxitaxi, and L'espinassse have been blocked for three months each. Mww113 (talk) 22:19, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

I added ten IPs, for reasons discussed at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive420#Flurry of apparently related anonymous (possible open proxy) edits and one registered user, [April24th1992]]. April24th1992 has only a few edits, but appears to be associated with Jvolkblum based on (1) time lag between registering, creating user page, and editing, (2) types of edits, and (3) choice of articles to edit that overlaps with articles edited by other suspected socks. --Orlady (talk) 23:36, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

• Supporting evidence: These newly registered users each have only a few article edits (mostly today), but their editing patterns and interests are similar to those of Jvolkblum and blocked sockpuppets of Jvolkblum. This includes immediate creation of user pages that consist of links to various Wikipedia editing resources (three of the four users did this; BronxBEAT also created a user page immediately after registering, but in a different style), inserting an image (recently uploaded to Commons by a user with the name 15ParkRow, same as the name of a blocked sockpuppet of Jvolkblum) in the New Rochelle article that is identical to one removed earlier for copyvio (see this diff from BingBingBingNBing), showing a committed interest in locating the Execution Rocks Lighthouse in New Rochelle (compare this diff by BronxBEAT with this earlier diff by Pongo101), and embellishing the New Rochelle article with more unsourced names of famous residents (this diff from Wingsolid). Additionally, in this diff, KatieGrinn removed apparently valid content from an article about a nearby suburb. --Orlady (talk) 20:30, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

Supposedly the claims above have been proven true. . . yet no substantiating info ('proof') has been provided. Again, I am not sure of the reasoning behind your rush to make these claims but i will adress them here: I introduced myself on my user page which i believe is exactly what you are supposed to do on it. I am equally confused by the mention of my creating it 'immediately after registering' ??? The first place i clicked on after registering was my 'name' in the heading on the top of the page, whereupon i saw intructions advising me to create a 'user page'. If my contributions on the Execution Rocks light article were similar to another users one might look at the logical connection (most specifically the availability of a discussion page and edit history log on every article which is where I saw the 'location debate'). I made changes just like that of a prior editor which I believed accurate (specifically: putting the name of the city in the location desciption in the info. box). My edits were to make sure there was accuracy of information. The final edit to the page was my clear attempt to be cordial and to show understanding of user Orladys point of view, personally suggesting a compromise to the situation and personally making the changes to follow through with the compromise. It is confusing to see these acceptable actions as part of 'supporting evidence' of wrongdoing.
I have noticed that the claims above are from user Orlady. I have read several discussions relating to Orlady, specifically the questionable nature of her actions & judgement when dealing with certain users + certain material on the site. These discussions can be found on the talk page of user:EdJohnston and 'Executionrocks'. All i can say is that other users have made mention of similar issues with this user Orlady and due to my experiences I would have to agree with them as well. It is strange.
In reviewing what was said above about other users, adding notable residents to an article about a specific locality appears to be a standard practice among users. The ones that you referenced in New Rochelle all look like they are cited properly (The list is probably the most thoroughly cited one you can find~ cross referencing to other communities will show that). I do not see how this is anything but a valid, helpful contribution to the article and the site. ???
The last user mentioned, Katiegrin, didnt remove information from the article as you have stated. I read the edit link you provided and it shows the content was moved to a different section and it does not show any evidence of information being deleted. This page is an entirely different community, albeit a neighboring one to the earlier mentioned New Rochelle article, which further begs the question of why this user too is being named as a disturbance to the site. ?? --BronxBEAT (talk) 00:06, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

EddieMonsoon was blocked as a sock of Jvolkblum at Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/Jvolkblum (4th). Pongo101 was created two minutes before EddieMonsoon [4] [5]. Pongo101's first edit was eight minutes after EddieMonsoon's last edit. Pongo101's first edit was to created a userpage that is identical to one created by EddieMonsoon[6] and another Jvolkblum sock 15ParkRow[7]. The rest of Pongo101's edits have been to the same set of articles as previous Jvolkblum socks. BlueAzure (talk) 02:31, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Adding 3 new-user IPs to this request based on their editing patterns, which are focused on (1) negative edits to articles about communities near New Rochelle and (2) adding information about New Rochelle to other articles, and (3) criticizing me and articles I have touched. All of these behaviors are hallmarks of Jvolkblum accounts. --Orlady (talk) 03:09, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Confirmed EddieMonsoon is Pongo101. No comment on the IPs. --Deskana (talk) 11:33, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

• Code letter: G
• Supporting evidence: User is engaging in vandalism and tendentious editing similar to that of blocked user Jvolkblum and sockpuppets. This diff involved systematic dewikification in exactly the same way that Jvolkblum, sockpuppet FlanneryFamily, and others have dewikified this article and related articles. --Orlady (talk) 03:18, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

• 24.215.173.132‎ (talk • contribs • WHOIS • RDNS • RBLs • block user • block log • checkip)
• Code letter: G
• Supporting evidence: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Prestonwood_Town_Center&diff=prev&oldid=201788081

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Vassar_College&diff=prev&oldid=201785971

I believe that Katherinehawk may be a sockpuppet of Jvolkblum, who has been known to post from 24.215.173.132‎, so I'd like to know if Katherinehawk posts from that IP address as well. As I write this, the Katherinehawk account was used for only a total of about 20 minutes this morning, and has been used only to tag 24 articles as adverts. This is suspicious to me because:

• Seven of the articles are about colleges in the northeastern U.S. that have been traditionally known as "women's colleges." One college that fits that description that is conspicuously absent from that list is Sarah Lawrence College, an article that Jvolkblum has frequently edited, and which was recently tagged as an advert, an action that Jvolkblum protested (and reverted). I think that Jvolkblum may be using Katherinehawk as a sock puppet to "get even."

• The remaining articles are about shopping malls, including Prestonwood Town Center‎, an article that I have edited. I had a disgreement with Jvolkblum a couple of months ago, and Jvolkblum (via the 24.215.173.132‎ IP address that he often uses) recently tagged that article as an advert, presumably to aggravate me. I reverted the tag, and I think that Jvolkblum may have created Katherinehawk and tagged Prestonwood Town Center‎ again, again to aggravate me, but this time tagged a bunch of malls for "cover."

Anyway, if Katherinehawk uses 24.215.173.132‎, then my suspicions about that account being a sock puppet will be largely confirmed; if Katherinehawk does not use 24.215.173.132‎, then I guess it's just a weird coincidence.
