Evidence

The previous Jvolkblum sockpuppet case was just closed, but already I found two more new sockpuppets.

Bessiemoo joined on 15 July 2008 and quickly proceeded to create nine new unsourced articles about various neighborhoods and residential subdivisions in the city of New Rochelle, New York. The creation of unsourced (also poorly sourced, falsely sourced, and/or copy-pasted) articles about New Rochelle residential neighborhoods has been one of Jvolkblum's main activities. The user's latest edit is creation of a very sophisticated-looking but generic user page (presumably copied from another user) -- something else that Jvolkblum is fond of doing.

Duane & Reade joined a few hours ago. This user's first and only edit was to add a lot of detail and source citations (mostly uncheckable, consistent with Jvolkblum's style) to one of Bessiemoo's articles.

Addition of IPs

I've just added several IPs of users who have showed up just to remove G5 speedy deletion templates from articles created by Jvolkblum socks. Most have edited recently only for the purpose of defending Jvolkblum articles from speedy deletion; User:207.218.231.211 also made a couple of minor cleanup edits to unrelated articles (presumably decoy edits). --Orlady (talk) 17:15, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

Adding User:69.10.33.204 - In same IP range as some of the others. Has edited more than once in one New Rochelle article and today placed notability templates on several articles for Memphis neighborhoods, presumably in an attempt to "get my goat", since I am in the same state as Memphis. --Orlady (talk) 17:28, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

Comments

I dont understand the problem here? I do not think the article should be deleted and Orlady advised me to follow a {{hangon}} procedure to share my viewpoint. Then Orlady issued an accusation or whatever this is exactly. This does not make sense. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.10.33.198 (talk • contribs) 17:28, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

According to the whois data, 207.218.231.211 and 207.218.231.216 are registered to ThePlanet.com Internet Services Inc. Confirmed Jvolkblum sock James Conoco (talk · contribs) stated that they had edited logged out from 75.125.163.139 (talk · contribs), which is also registered to ThePlanet.com Internet Services Inc.

According to the whois data, 69.10.33.198, 69.10.33.206, and 69.10.33.204 are registerd to My Privacy Tools. Those ip addresses are probably related to the product "Hide My IP", made by My Privacy Tools, used to disguise the users actual ip address. BlueAzure (talk) 23:33, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
