Soccermeko has been a relentless sockpuppeteer, creating unsourced articles about R&B and hip-hop personalities, notably Nicole Wray. He has a distinctive style of broken English that generally provides a strong clue. He has been getting smarter and smarter, though, and each sockpuppet tends to live a little longer than the previous ones.

Here he [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Nicole_Wray_discography&diff=prev&oldid=226687058 posts on the Nicole Wray discography page], wanting to know what is allowed in typical Soccermekoese. He goes on to claim that the previous Soccermeko edits were [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Nicole_Wray_discography&diff=prev&oldid=226848964 right]. He never actually edits the page, though. I think he's gotten gun-shy.

Here, he [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Won%27t_Hold_Back_%28album%29&oldid=224870889 creates] a new album article, in that distinctive language again. Ultimately, it gets prodded, which he removes, and, once at AFD, lets loose with a [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Won%27t_Hold_Back_(album)&diff=prev&oldid=227327308 personal attack] that just screams Soccermeko to my ears.

[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log/block&page=User:Soccermeko Blocked] editor Soccermeko (blocked for sockpuppetry) obsessively edited Nicole Wray-related articles and created numerous crystal ball articles for unreleased albums, etc., switching to sockpuppets when blocked (and to !vote-stack) until eventually blocked indefinitely.

Staticj just appeared, and aimed for the Nicole Wray articles like a bee to honey. Writing style seems just enough different that I'm not willing to scream "obvious sock" without a checkuser to back me up.

Having been blocked from editing, the main user has been making similar edits through various IPs as detailed above, as well as creating ANOTHER suspected sockpuppet in order to evade his ban. The vast majority for all suspected puppet accounts are only on the three pages which compose the supporting evidence. He was blocked to stop adding this content, but he continues to violate the guideline as well as circumvent the block through his new puppet. Cloudz679 (talk) 08:50, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
