ZapBoy (talk+ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log · CA · CheckUser(log) · investigate · cuwiki) was created three days after the confirmed sock MAJ5 (talk+ · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log · CA · CheckUser(log) · investigate · cuwiki) was blocked. On ZapBoy's, userpage, he claims that his name is Mike, and on MAJ5's userpage, he claimed that his name is Michael. They both made very simalar signature shop requests (see User talk:Lights/Signature shop/MAJ5 and User talk:Lights/Signature shop/ZapBoy). ZapBoy has made simalar edits as MAJ5. Their monobook.js are no different (see User:MAJ5/monobook.js and User:ZapBoy/monobook.js). Cheers, Lights 15:45, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
Confirmed. MAJ5 = ZapBoy. Bugman94 is stale. Voice-of-All 23:57, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

N96 is most definitely a sock in himself. He has a working monobook within his first 2 weeks, he is SNOW-closing RFAs and was created a day after WikiMan53 was indefed blocked. His name is similar to the conventions used by some sockpuppeteers: A portmanteau of the names of well-known users and seems to have same love of numbers at the end of the username that WikiMan has. SparkleMan has been discussed on #wikipedia-en-admins by Riana for being suspicious; that is to say, he has installed TWINKLE as his 4th edit. SparkleMan has also redirected his userpage to his talk page similarly to what N96 did before Majorly tagged it, but that is not compelling.
A summary: N96 had a working monobook withing 4 days and so does SparkleMan. N96 has redirected his talk page like SparkleMan. N96 was created a day after WikiMan was indefed as a sock. SparkleMan was created well into the conversation with N96 regarding his apparent sock-ness. I see a connection, do you? —« ANIMUM » 21:11, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Bugman94 created a recently blocked sock, named User:SuperBall53. SuperBall53 used ((helpme)) in order to find help in creating a bot [1]. He was later blocked due to checkuser evidence about him being a block sock of WikiMan53 (due to circumstantial evidence provided by a separate checkuser). Later, on IRC, we saw that his IP address was bugman94, and furthered the connection to Bugman94. Anyway, after SuperBall53 was blocked on the 8th, seen here, a new user User:N96 was created on the ninth seen here. One of the interesting notes, that I seen is that N96's bot seen here was created by N96 and wasn't posted on WP:BOT for trial or any inquiries of the bot's function per the requests for approval. Also, it should be taken note that the N96 username can come from a combination of User:N and User:Real96, my old username. Miranda 14:48, 15 June 2007 (UTC)
Likely. WikiMan53 = SuperBall53. Bugman94's edits are stale. N96 is

User:RainbowSprinkles was blocked as a sockpuppet of Bugman94, but I see no confirmation through RFCU. The account made a few edits similar in nature to that of User:Añoranza (Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Añoranza), moving titles of military operations to a non-military name, as well as making similar POV edits. Añoranza is currently at RFAr over these types of edits. I doubt that Añoranza is Bugman94, but he made this edit, which leads me to question how he found RainbowSprinkles' talk page (most people don't check the talk pages of other users who make a few edits here and there).
If RainbowSprinkles != Bugman94, then there is a case for unblocking. Similarly, if Añoranza is found to be sockpuppeting/a sockpuppet of a blocked user, similar action should be taken, in light of his RfAr. NSLE 15:17, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
Confirmed. Bugman = RainbowSprinkles = Fudge12 = a host of other sockpuppets. Anoranza does not appear to be involved enough to rise to the level of a separate check. Essjay (Talk • Connect) 16:29, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
This seems to be the 5th puppet now, constantly abuses ((helpme)) and generally annoying. -- 9cds(talk) 15:15, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
Confirmed. Without a doubt, all of the following are the same user:
