See http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bharatanatyam&action=history where a series of very shallow new socks have been adding external links back as they are deleted by series of editors. I count six reverts in less than 24 hours. BozMo talk 17:04, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

{{Clerk Request}} On further consideration I'm revisiting this one. Mackensen (talk) 21:11, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

{{Confirmed}}. Extensive disruption including multiple open proxies and web hosts, which I'll be blocked. Dozens of socks beyond the ones listed. Mackensen (talk) 21:51, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

:{{clerknote}} after a quick browse over contribs, account creation logs etc, I believe {{user|Santap}} is the "puppeteer" for the purpose of this case. Daniel.Bryant ^{[ T · C ]} 03:18, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

::I don't know if i'm allowed to edit this page or not.Excuse my intrusion if not. I suggest you take a look at the list I've made out at User:A. B./Sandbox2‎. It may save you some time. It includes an analysis of many of the players' edits and it has some names that you don't have yet. Also, you may want to check out the old sockpuppetted VfD for Medha Hari (link is on my subpage).--A. B. ^(talk) 03:33, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

:::Possible socks from User:A. B./Sandbox2:

:::* {{checkuser|Bharatanatyam}}

:::* {{checkuser|DanceExpert }}

:::* {{checkuser|Wikisvenska}}

:::* {{checkuser|Serge56}}

:::* {{checkuser|JuliaJ}}

:::* {{checkuser|Wikihappy}}

:::--A. B. ^(talk) 19:51, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

::::Possible sock (not sure):

::::* {{checkuser|Sangeeeeta}}

::::--A. B. ^(talk) 20:04, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

:::::Additional suspects:

:::::* {{checkuser|3Aparna}}

:::::* {{checkuser|Krish645}}

:::::* {{checkuser|Spamkiller}}

:::::* {{checkuser|RalphWWW}}

:::::Somewhat lower probability:

:::::* {{checkuser|Sasshi}} -- lower likelihood than some others

:::::* {{checkuser|Yashechka}} -- lower likelihood than some others

:::::You may wih to double-check this one

:::::* {{checkuser|Sselvakumar}} -- tagged as a sockpuppet of Santap, but his edit patterns resemble those of the Kalakendra.com spammer. The Santap crowd hated the Kalakendra.com group, so I'm surprised that he's a Santap sock.

{{clerk-note}} Except for {{user|DanceExpert}} and {{user|Yashechka}}, all the listed accounts are already blocked or too old to check. This looks pretty obvious, and checkuser is not required to block obvious socks. Note the checkuser case on their talk page and if they complain, send the admin reviewing the unblock here.
