Previous confirmed socks below. Current suspects are listed in detail here. User:Rlevse suggested this RFCU to dig deeper and see if there are more socks. Both Delhite and Vr have a history of making attack edits to John Funder and promoting Ashoka Jahnavi-Prasad with ridiculously exaggerated claims. The various socks are mainly used during deletion debates and reviews. Delhite has [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Suspected_sock_puppets/Vr&diff=194360077&oldid=193503443 stated] a willingness to undergo a check user, but also [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Colin&diff=191597331&oldid=190693361 claims] to be using an institutional computer that is shared.

See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Indians where they vote for Keep within four minutes of each other and use the exact same mistakes (no space between vote and comment, parentheses around the ~~~~). Danny Lilithborne 09:30, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

:There is also {{user|AbdulYasser}}. I've blocked all three accounts as socks of Vr, as I think the evidence is strong enough without a checkuser. Feel free to run the checkuser anyway to check, or remove this request as appropriate. Petros471 12:08, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

20px Confirmed. Am blocking the IP for a month. Keep us informed of other possibilities. Essjay (Talk • Connect) 09:14, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
