- Evidence
- Both accounts created within days of one another - Blue Bugle on 25th July, LemonMonday on 29th July. Both accounts are targetting the edits of User:HighKing and very little else. The Blue Bugle account was dormant from creation on 25th July till 30th September. The Lemon Monday account was dormant from 29th July till 30th September.
A total of 4 contributions have been logged for Blue Bugle to date, all have been reverts of HighKing's edits [1], [2], [3] and [4], and used in a tag-team fashion with LemonMonday.
LemonMonday was temporarily blocked in July having been incorrectly suspected of being a sockpuppet - all edits prior to be block were targeting the edits of HighKing. Just about all edits of LemonMonday target the edits of HighKing:
Sample from before the block (in fact all articles before the block targetted the edits)
Sample from the return of the account after being dormant
The similarity in creation dates and behaviour leads me to suspect that these are sockpuppet accounts.

- I see sock puppetry. These are two single purpose accounts that do nothing but stalk you and revert your edits. I am going to have a checkuser look at this SSP report because I think there is a master account out there. Be patient. If the user causes further disruption while this is pending, leave me a message and I will block them. Jehochman Talk 13:16, 4 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Conclusions
Based on the behavioral evidence, I think the user accounts are disruptive socks. They only seem to exist for the purpose of reverting User:HighKing. I am blocking the sock accounts. Jehochman Talk 03:56, 7 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
