;Comments

Suspect that this user, although has made some good edits, is making disruptive edits and place messages on Talk and User pages that contain inappropriate and threatening language. As User:Farlack931 this user changed the number of platforms on a large number of railway station articles which required to be reverted to the correct number.

The creation of multiple accounts appears to be used to make a clean start or possibly to avoid scrutiny. --Stewart^(talk) 22:12, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

Recent posting on the talk page suggest that this user if using the main account to post messages, whilst other accounts, specifically Greenock125 appears to be acting as a feedstock to the puppetmaster. --Stewart^(talk) 09:33, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

;Conclusions

At least some of these accounts appear to be sock puppets, while the connection to others is less strong. There may also be other, undiscovered socks. There appears to be an ongoing pattern of disruption, incivility and perhaps sneaky vandalism. I will file a request for checkuser to see if that can clarify the situation. See Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/Fila3466757. Jehochman ^Talk 22:20, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

: The checkuser came back with a list of socks. These have been blocked indefinitely. The main account has been blocked for one week. Jehochman ^Talk 14:16, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
