Suggested to me on my talk page. New accounts whose first and only actions are (1) blue-linking their user and talk pages and (2) entering an edit war on Gaza War, on a paragraph Cryptonio has [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Gaza_War&diff=376523183&oldid=376513818 edited]. Cryptonio has been topic-banned and blocked before for their editing on this article. All three accounts seem to have some obsession at reverting {{user|AgadaUrbanit}}. T.

:{{Confirmed}} that the Real Ones are the same. But they're coming in on a T-Mobile connection, while Cryptonio isn't, and thus is technically {{unrelated}}; behavior will have to be the determining factor. --jpgordon^{::==( o )} 23:09, 8 August 2010 (UTC)

::I think calling the TheLastRealOne a sockpuppet of AnotherRealOne is a bit overstated. AnotherRealOne's user page explicitly says "I just made the account TheLastRealOne but I forgot the password. I wrote this one down." What's important is whether they are also Cryptonio. Frankly, I think it's obvious it's some blocked or banned user and probably Cryptonio. -- tariqabjotu 23:14, 8 August 2010 (UTC)

{{admin note}} Considering AnotherRealOne was blocked already, I've stepped the block up to indefinite based on the block of TheLastRealOne. I've also blocked Cryptonio not directly related to this SPI due to harassment/disruption. This pair of blocks is not intended to connote any link between the two. Considering this means that all accounts related to this case are now blocked, I'm going to mark this as closed with no further action. --Shirik (Questions or Comments?) 19:49, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

::Behavior will have to be the determining factor. User:Cryptonio is [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log/block&page=User%3ACryptonio blocked with an expiry time of indefinite]. See above Connection to original account for similarities with User:Sepsis II. Geographic location (timezone) and behavior (talking in CAPS to Ringo) match. It would be interesting to know if the suspected socks, which appear unrelated accounts use T-Mobile or other US cellular provider, like previously blocked socks, or other means to appear unrelated.
