User is a probable sleeper account. Both user and ip user exhibit exact same trademarks as the master SPA. WP:DUCK is quaking loud and clear. CU requested, as well as protecting page to auto confirmed accounts. Fasttimes68 (talk) 18:42, 2 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

User is also forum shopping a bit. Created a BLP submission. For an account that was created in Early May and not active until recently, this lends further credence to this user being a sleeper.Fasttimes68 (talk) 18:56, 2 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

107.6.124.27 is interesting. The ip address resolves to voxel.net, which is a hosting provider and not an ISP. The likelihood of this ip being used as a proxy server is high.

Request protecting articles editor vists to auto-confirmed a temporary subnet block on the 98.14.172.XXX range.

I believe that the two people who have commented on the SPI against Fasttimes68 may also be socks of An-Apple-A-NY-Day:

Those two certainly pass my WP:DUCK test. Furthermore, it's entirely possible that the supposed sock account is actually an imposter run by the person who opened the SPI as a means of trying to get back at Fasttimes68, so I'll ask that they be checked out too:

  • CheckUser requested - Self-endorsed by clerk for checkuser attention - Behavoir seems similar accross the board and with very few contribs, only some could be open for a duck block.  Clerk declined for NobleDarkling, persuing that there is not enough evidence at this time (because of counter evidence) to support that this person is a sock of this master. -- DQ (ʞlɐʇ) 14:07, 10 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

 Confirmed as each other:

User:NobleDarkling is  Unlikely,  Inconclusive at best. There are dynamic IPs and open proxies involved here. I'll leave this open if anyone feels these socks are sufficiently related to User:An-Apple-A-NY-Day. --MuZemike 23:25, 10 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

...and it seems that CovenRockCA is Red X Unrelated. --MuZemike 23:47, 10 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

– A user has requested CheckUser. An SPI clerk will shortly look at the case and endorse or decline the request.

WP:DUCK. More quacking going on here than at a chirocpractors office. I don't think diffs are necessary. Just look at the two edits from this user and compare them to any of the recently blocked socks. All the same pages, same blathering, etc. Fasttimes68 (talk) 16:51, 11 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
