  • Supporting evidence:

At Mac OS X, Knowhands enjoykeep has ignored consensus and breached WP:3RR resulting in two 3RR blocks.[1][2] An autoblock then occurred after he used his IP address was used for edit warring.[3] I suspect this was to avoid the username block.

Today, in two separate instances, he restored some of his previously deleted edits and after they were reverted by other editors he reverted twice to his versions.[4][5] After the second reversion his edit was reverted and Knowhands enjoykeep has not re-edited. However, 31 minutes after his last reversion Fdgdf3, a new user, reverted to Knowhands enjoykeep's version.[6] His second edit on Wikipedia was also to revert to Knowhands enjoykeep's version after it had again been reverted.[7] These are the only edits made by Fdgdf3. Fdgdf3 has now breached 3RR by reverting twice more on the same page.[8][9]

Given the throwaway name used, Fdgdf3's limited and specific edit history, the appearance of Fdgdf3 soon after the mysterious "disappearance" of Knowhands enjoykeep and Knowhands enjoykeep's edit & block history I strongly suspect that Fdgdf3 is a sockpuppet of Knowhands enjoykeep, created by him in order to avoid a further 3RR breach and subsequent block. --AussieLegend (talk) 07:56, 17 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

User:Kjngjkn has now replaced both Knowhands enjoykeep and Fdgdf3, edit warring on Mac OS X, List of sexual slurs and Battlestar Galactica: The Second Coming. He has also placed several random and unjustified warnings on my talk page.[10] Based on this edit summary at List of sexual slurs and the limited edit history which targets pages edited by the administrator who blocked Knowhands enjoykeep the editor is most likely another sockpuppet of Knowhands enjoykeep. --AussieLegend (talk) 12:32, 18 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Though the puppetteer and all five socks are now indef blocked, since new socks keep appearing I hope that checkuser can do something that might lead to a block of the underlying IP. EdJohnston (talk) 16:48, 18 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Make that six socks. 4oujh56 is now active with a similar MO to the others. --AussieLegend (talk) 21:27, 18 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
