• {{checkuser|Barbara Osgood}}

{{vandal|Barbara_Osgood}} exhibits a consistent pattern of making a number of small, possibly valid edits to apparently random articles, introducing steadily increasing degrees of absurdity and ending with a patent whopper. A number of accounts have edits interleaved with "Osgood", leading to the conclusion that they are sockpuppets. I have just spent another hour checking and winding back these vandal edits. I have indef-blocked the suspected socks, but I need to prove that they genuinely are socks in order to take stronger action against Osgood. The socks are:

• {{vandal|Paulo_Fontaine}}
• {{vandal|Paul_Fountain}}
• {{vandal|Connor_Anderson}}
• {{vandal|Baron_von_Economo}}
• {{vandal|Billy_Budd}}
• {{vandal|Deborahdare}}
• {{vandal|Five_O'clock_Dog}}

If this is not a sock farm then it is a series of remarkable coincidences. - Just zis  Guy, you know? ^[T]/_[C] Image:Flag of the United Kingdom.svg AfD? 18:26, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

• User:Barbara Osgood is also User:Eddie Lee Beppaux, User:Paulo Fontaine, User:Don Barber, User:Martin Whitlock, User:Ian Harbord, User:Baron von Economo, User:Jim Dale, User:Billy Budd, User:Connor Anderson and others, confirmed by CheckUser. Seems that this is rather out of date confirmation though, but I figured I should at least do it. —Matthew Brown (T:C) 13:53, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
• :Barbara Osgood is NOT Paulo Fontaine. That's a different kettle of fish/socks entirely. So stop it. Barbara Osgood 15:26, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

Like {{user|Barbara_Osgood}}, 70.58.195.252 exhibits a pattern of making small, sometimes vaguely valid, but mostly irrelevant, edits to apparently random articles. AdrianLozano 17:10, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
