- Evidence submitted by Pearls and quine
Daphnaz, a dormant account, was used for a block-evading edit to Brian Quintana.
Michaeledean has a known COI with the article in question; he was given a 24 hour block for edit warring. During that block, Daphnaz made the same revert Michaeledean had been blocked for, using an incredibly similar edit summary.
See especially User talk:Daphnaz, which includes repeated warnings (circa 2006) against recreating the very article in question, Brian Quintana. User also shows a similar interest in the article Pedro Zamora, which mentions Quintana.
- Looking further at the logs, it appears User:Michaeledean was created to evade a three month block placed on User:Daphnaz. Pearls and quine (talk) 13:49, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

Blocked per WP:DUCK. This and this are the same edit with the same history with two alleged separate accounts. Nja247 10:31, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

User:Californiason is yet another sock of a blocked user, also editing from IP 170.170.59.139. See Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Tonytonyb/Archive for the previous case and User talk:Michaeledean for the most recent block. Also reported to admin noticeboard, where checkuser was suggested.
Same editing style as always. COI edits to Brian Quintana: unexplained reverts, removing unflattering references, promotional text, etc.

Seems pretty clear to me - the same reverts over and over - mainly to sources that do not support the claims being made. --Cameron Scott (talk) 10:28, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

- Californiason is not obviously related to another account, but jumping into an ongoing dispute like that sometimes suggests sock- or meatpuppetry may be afoot. – Luna Santin (talk) 07:54, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
- Conclusions
All blocked already. Tagged. PeterSymonds (talk) 11:38, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
- The new one User:Californiason is not blocked as far as I can tell. The Michaeledean-Daphnaz connection was already established by the previous sock investigation. Hairhorn (talk) 17:46, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

- Evidence submitted by Tabercil
User is brand new, yet has made changes to articles which are very similar to the ones done by Tonytonyb and his puppets in the past. For instance:
- Pupster removed from the Judd Winick article information stating that Winick attended U of M's, School of Art and a bit about Winick's heroes, Garry Trudeau and Berkeley Breathed, as seen here [1]. Daphnaz, one of the sockpuppets, did a similar removal of the same information (among other bits): [2] [3]
- Pupster reverts back to a specific version of the Brian Quintana article, which was what Tonytonyb (via his Michaeledean sockpuppet) preferred: [4]

Latest block evading sock from this user. Note similarity with previous username "Californiason", although the behavioural evidence alone is enough for this one. Hairhorn (talk) 23:16, 26 April 2010 (UTC)

Evidence submitted by Morenooso
Both of these users have made few if any contributions to articles outside an AfD and its related articles. user:Yourmistaken seems to be following the meatpuppet and making similar edits/reverts. Morenooso (talk) 20:26, 27 April 2010 (UTC)
In this DIFF by Yourmistaken, it is interesting to note its canvass for AfD votes similar to Cathycamp and its belief that as June 2010 rolls around, more traffic will be generated to the article. I would expect more sockpuppets too if the article is still around.
Cathycamp made a similar word-for word canvass in this DIFF. Similar edits, similar looking socks. --Morenooso (talk) 21:13, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

Probably should be merged with Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Tonytonyb/Archive? — Scientizzle 20:42, 27 April 2010 (UTC)
