Supporting evidence:

{{User|Man with a tan}} was blocked indefinitely in August for trolling and WP:BLP violations.[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log/block&page=User%3AMan+with+a+tan] In the last few days there has been disruption from a number of accounts that appear to be connected to the same user.

{{User|Traumatised}} was blocked first for vandalism, then as a sock of {{User|Man with a tan}}, with edits including a similar page move: [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Aaron_Cook_(baseball_pitcher)&diff=229802992&oldid=229801818][http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Aaron_Cook_(baseball_pitcher)&diff=258593460&oldid=249280812]. The image :File:Josh on the range.JPG was vandalised by {{User|Traumatised}} and {{User|Giz ur money}}.

Vandalism by {{User|Hooded Top}}: [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:NawlinWiki&diff=prev&oldid=258986034][http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:NawlinWiki&diff=prev&oldid=258986102] - similar to Special:Contributions/Truth about the terror in Vietnam and Special:Contributions/Obese Futures Trader

{{User|Serial Lulzer}} was claiming to be an administrator and declined an unblock request by {{User|Traumatised}}.[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Traumatised&diff=prev&oldid=258993937]

{{User|Rhys Pwnes}} was blocked for page move vandalism: [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:The_JPS&diff=prev&oldid=258983336][http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Jpgordon&diff=prev&oldid=258983505][http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:FisherQueen&diff=prev&oldid=258983629]

{{User|World's largest pig}}, probably another sock of the same user, was blocked in October.[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:91.108.201.25&diff=prev&oldid=246480318]

{{User|Stomach Bug}}, {{User|Browntrouser}} and {{User|A deadly serious user}} made edits to the sandbox similar to the other accounts, with the intention of becoming autoconfirmed, but have made no other edits and have not been blocked. Some of the edits:[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Sandbox&diff=prev&oldid=258756175][http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Sandbox&diff=prev&oldid=258756194][http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Sandbox&diff=258755446&oldid=258754932][http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Sandbox&diff=258755731&oldid=258755594][http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Sandbox&diff=258755957&oldid=258755889][http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Sandbox&diff=258756384&oldid=258756324][http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Sandbox&diff=258756608&oldid=258756559]

The accounts, with the exception of {{User|Man with a tan}}, were created within less than two hours on 20 November 2007, and with the exception of the last three were created within 20 minutes.

A few of the usernames are in pairs, I have added other accounts created around the same time based on similarities between users. The accounts from {{User|Alcohol related death}} to {{User|Good as new}}, and {{User|B.Allen in political wiki-exile}} are probably stale, as they have no visible edits. {{User|Man with a tan}}, {{User|Boris Allen}} and a sock of {{User|Tony X Liu}} have made similar edits on Twat, and the decline of an unblock request is similar to {{User|Swirl Face}}[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Confederate_till_Death&diff=prev&oldid=201541450], who was tagged as a sock of {{User|Pope Benjamin Lister}} as a result of Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/Pope Barry George. A few accounts there also appear to be similar to {{User|Hamish Ross}}. The accounts in the Pope Barry George case, and Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/Master Ansar Mahmood, were created the day before those that have vandalised in the last few days).

:{{user|Man with a tan}} is {{IPstale}}. The following are {{confirmed}} as being operated by one person:

{{vandal|Traumatised}}
{{vandal|Hooded Top}}
{{vandal|Serial Lulzer}}
{{vandal|Rhys Pwnes}}
{{vandal|A deadly serious user}}
{{vandal|Browntrouser}}
{{vandal|Stomach Bug}}

The following are {{likely}}:

{{vandal|Giz ur money}}
{{vandal|Wiki-guerrilla}}
{{vandal|Sockpuppet II}}
{{vandal|Nothing left to dream about}}

The rest are {{IPstale}}. Most of the IPs used for sockpuppetry are already softblocked. They are high traffic IPs, so a hardblock is out of the question. Nishkid64 _{(Make articles, not wikidrama)} 21:28, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
