• {{checkuser|Falcoaz}}

• Code letter: C

All these users are suspected of being JoanneB's sockpuppets used for creating attack pages. Well, JoanneB, after all, is really the Communism vandal. --FireyFireMan 09:57, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

:{{TakeNote}} What? JoanneB is an admin! This also seems to be a single purpose account. I'd throw this one out. MER-C 10:22, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

::Aaaah, but JoanneB is acting like Karmafist was.... you should know she is the Communism vandal... it's a little-known fact I'm making public!! --FireyFireMan 10:34, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

:Actually, I think you're a sockpuppet of {{checkuser|Karmafist}}. Could you checkuser this account instead? MER-C 10:46, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

::That would be my move too, MER-C, JoanneB being the communist vandal is as likely as the moon actually being made of cheese. --Alf ^melmac 14:03, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

• {{Confirmed}}. That FireyFireMan is Karmafist. He's also been creating lots of socks, and tagging their user pages with false sockpuppet tags (e.g. Zephram Stark, Primetime, Bobby Boulders, Word Bomb). Jayjg ^(talk) 18:18, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

Two more socks to check:

• {{Checkuser|Wordywiseman}} This account has a false {{SockpuppetCheckuser|WordBomb}} tag on its user page, exhibiting the same behavior as the proven socks above and editing Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Yungun, which the above socks edited. Jesse Viviano 20:51, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
• {{Checkip|213.162.236.9}} Suspected sock on the vote page these socks edited, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Yungun. MER-C suspects that this is another banned user sock. I think that this could be Karmafist. Jesse Viviano 20:51, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
• That's an open proxy, and I've blocked indefinitely. Mackensen (talk) 11:24, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

• {{Confirmed}}. And {{vandal|Julius Broyne}} and {{vandal|Plantgerd}} and {{vandal|Peksneak}} and several others, all now tagged. Jayjg ^(talk) 18:23, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

=== Karmafist ===

• {{checkuser|Karmafist}}

• {{checkuser|Broad Street}}

The user has made claims off-wiki ([http://wikipediareview.com/index.php?showtopic=3050 here]) that they are using a sockpuppet (listed above) in attempt to cause major harm to Wikipedia, and advise others of how to ruin Wikipedia's credibility. Should a link be found, it could prove as evidence should the main account also be blocked for disruption. Ian¹³/t 09:21, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

{{Declined}}. Karmafist was already found to be using sockpuppets; he was banned and then unbanned. This account's activity dates before said events. Mackensen (talk) 13:00, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

:Whoops. Thanks. I presumed that the lack of a Karmafist subpage meant it hadn't been checked. Ian¹³/t 19:19, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

::The check was discussed on the administrator's noticeboard. Thatcher131 (talk) 00:32, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
