:Someone noticed these new users registrations all of whom edited Reformed Baptist with mostly minor edits and suspected these were sleeper accounts of someone trying to build up an edit count or use them abusively later on. At the very least their edits and similar account names make me suspect someone's sockpuppeting without a valid reason. However, the naming of "Jonathanchristman" is missing the capital letter of the last name the others have, so we may get a legit user caught up in a block if we block them all without further investigation. Can you confirm ALL of them are connected? - Mgm|^(talk) 08:49, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

::There's no rule against creating socks. Besides, this case is so clear that there's no need for check user. All that's called for is a vandalism warning and a sock warning. Regards, Ben Aveling 08:57, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

::: Done, except for Bruce Graham, whose contributions suggest no connection to the others. Regards, Ben Aveling 09:08, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

{{Declined}} without prejudice. Let's see how this develops. Mackensen (talk) 11:02, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
