;Evidence submitted by Tim Vickers (talk)
Both creators of multiple copyright violations dealing with Ohio State Representatives (see accounts' deleted contributions). I'd like a checkuser as I think other sockpuppets are likely. An IP hardblock would be valuable if it is possible, due to the continuing determination of this person to add copyright violations to Wikipedia in the face of multiple warnings.

All accounts focus almost exclusively on Ohio politicians and appear to be throwaway accounts.
STATEHOUSE1839 was blocked on 11 March 2010 and Jansport87's first edit was within an hour and their first mainspace edit was to add some details to 112th Ohio General Assembly, which was created two days earlier by STATEHOUSE1839. On 19 June Jansport87 was threatened with a block and their last edit was on the 20th, which was shortly followed by Gldnegls's first edit, which was to George Distel started by STATEHOUSE1839. Their second edit was to 107th Ohio General Assembly, edited by both prior accounts and later by LAVINA4194. I don't know why they abandoned Gldnegls on 16 July and started LAVINA4194 on 18 July, but regardless LAVINA4194 appears to be their latest account.
The three latest accounts have all heavily edited [http://toolserver.org/~daniel/WikiSense/Contributors.php?wikifam=.wikipedia.org&wikilang=en&page=Ohio_General_Assembly&grouped=on&order=-edit_count Ohio General Assembly]. VernoWhitney (talk) 19:15, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/CAFESDO/Archive was brought to my attention, and I believe the accounts are related and would like to confirm that if possible before opening another CCI. An almost exclusive focus on Ohio politicians and continuing copyright problems, as well as abandoning old accounts when threatened with a block all fit the previous patterns of behavior. Given the frequency of account changes and the strong likelihood of (re)introducing copyvio I believe a sleeper check may be called for. VernoWhitney (talk) 15:22, 10 November 2010 (UTC)

:*The ip is from Dayton, Ohio like the others. There are also tons of checkable socks in the archive if I'm not mistaken. The edit of the ip is characteristic of past socks.

The IP's [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ohio_Senate&diff=prev&oldid=444917604 only edit] is also pretty massive and technical given that it's their first edit, so it's likely that it's not a new user, i.e. OSUHEY.

- {{confirmed}} that ChateauStMichelle shares technical data with these socks. Keegan (talk) 04:13, 24 August 2011 (UTC)
- So I did what I could for behavioral checking, for the two suspected but not-yet-blocked accounts. None of the accounts have any articles in common, but that doesn't mean much; DelcoDell and SouthernBlvd don't either. None of the accounts use edit summaries. All of the edits seem to be more-or-less gnomish behavior; adding bold text, a wikilink, a single sentence. It's rare to see more than one edit to a particular page (and the accounts SouthernBlvd, Allofmylove, and RaymondCab have never made more than one edit to a single page). None of the editing periods overlap, at all; DelcoDell edited until late August 16, then SouthernBlvd began editing 4 hours later for a 6 minute span, then 18 hours later Allofmylove edited for 10 minutes, then the next day DelcoDell makes a single edit, then the next day RaymondCab edits for 4 minutes, then 3 days later DelcoDell edits again. All of the accounts edit in bursts of multiple minor edits to different pages over short periods of time (usually a 10 minute stretch or less). This seems very consistent and with the technical evidence linking these accounts anyway, I'm blocking Allofmylove and RaymondCab as obvious sockpuppets. -- Atama頭 17:01, 24 August 2011 (UTC)

{{adminnote}} The IP is pretty obvious, as is WittTigers. I've blocked the IP briefly because I'm not sure how likely it is to change ownership. I've blocked and tagged WittTigers, and deleted and slated the creations. Bohn002 doesn't have the exclusive focus on Ohio politicians that other OSUHEY socks have had, so I'd like to wait for CU input on that one.

- {{Endorse}} - Yes, yes, the usual look at this. Is a rangeblock in the cards at all? — HelloAnnyong (say whaaat?!) 19:48, 4 September 2011 (UTC)
- WittTigers is {{confirmed}}, and Bohn002 is technically plausible, but not very likely. Note that only one edit of Bohn002's is checkable, so this is hardly definitive. I would not block it. Courcelles 22:41, 4 September 2011 (UTC)
- {{clerknote}} Blocks have been issued. I'm going to leave Bohn alone for now. — HelloAnnyong (say whaaat?!) 22:49, 4 September 2011 (UTC)

Cleaning up supposed copyvios for a change. Not sure why this new user would take such a keen interest in this. OSUHEY and the others have been blocked and banned. He has angrily turned down amnesty before and worn down everybody's patience. He'll need to disclose his intentions and gain community support before the ban is lifted.

This "block" is ludicrous. I make a whole-hearted attempt to help this individual clean up information that was stolen from ME and placed on wikipedia, and he blocks ME. How does that make any sense? You can't keep on blocking every individual who contributes to Ohio politics that is not an established user. I created this account to leave this message.

{{Decline}}- Obvious sock is obvious Dennis Brown - 2¢ © 13:35, 26 June 2012 (UTC)- I assume the reason checkuser was requested was to flush out other accounts and/or block the IP, not to check whether it is a sock. Hut 8.5 13:39, 26 June 2012 (UTC)

{{Inconclusive}}. They appear to be editing from open proxies. TomAHouseholder does share the same UA as {{user|VDPTKATW}} though. Elockid (Talk) 20:44, 16 July 2012 (UTC)
- {{clerknote}} - I'm on the fence. There are some differences in the two articles, but they appear strained. It would be easier to compare if there were more diffs. Leaving open for observation and review by other clerks. Dennis Brown - 2¢ © 23:37, 18 July 2012 (UTC)
- Personally I think this is very likely. The two edits the account has made are exactly OSUHEY's style. The only problem is that OSUHEY socks usually make more than two edits, but he is aware of our SPI processes and often tries to convince innocent users that he's a normal editor. Hut 8.5 12:28, 19 July 2012 (UTC)
- Closing as no action. There has been no further editing from that account but if there is new evidence which still suggests this sockmaster please refile for consideration.
