I suspect these accounts are serial single-purpose accounts who have not made any constructive edits to Wikipedia, repeatedly spamming (or trying to usurp) Kagiso, an article about a South African township. The spammer appears to be Mr Linda Sibisi AKA DjMlindos of Spidersweb IT Solutions. Some of the sockpuppet signs are: WP:REPEATING, WP:IDENTICAL, WP:CONNECTION, WP:BRIEFLY, WP:GEOSOCK, WP:SPASOCK. Repeated warnings and user blocks have been ineffective.

• Some of the usernames involved may be meatpuppets acting as employees of the website/webhost. An article about the webhost, Spidersweb, was speedied as spam. There is an attempt at AfC to create a new article about the town with content clearly intended to promote the website - WT:Articles for creation/Kagiso, Gauteng. The draft is of course also a content fork. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 14:13, 20 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

 Clerk endorsed. Most of the accounts here are stale, but it may be possible to do something with Lgmalindas and MyKagiso, as well as check for any sleepers. — Richwales (no relation to Jimbo) 22:51, 20 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Lgmalindas and MyKagiso are  Technically indistinguishable. There is a possible sleeper, but the account has not edited, so I will not be name it here. The rest of the named accounts are  Stale.  No comment with respect to IP address(es). ​—DoRD (talk)​ 16:39, 21 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
•  Clerk note: I've blocked and tagged all the sockpuppets. Closing. Reaper Eternal (talk) 15:05, 2 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

A new sockpuppet - User:SpiderswebLinda. Please investigate and do the necessary. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 07:32, 13 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

 Administrator note An obvious sockpuppet, blocked and tagged. A CU for possible sleepers would be welcome, in view of this sockpuppeteer's history. JamesBWatson (talk) 11:31, 13 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• No sleepers found. Unfortunately the IP range used is too busy to consider a rangeblock.--Jezebel'sPonyo^{bons mots} 17:35, 13 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

New sock posting the same spam as before. Their website has been blacklisted so now they are posting a Facebook link instead. HelenOnline 08:24, 21 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello there it's me again and this time I just want you to help me be part of my township and city, I would like to voice out my opinions and if they're not right then I'll accept them being taken out, but just give me a chance? Please just give me a chance to give you correct information about what is happening in our Township and City?

• As they are an admitted sock I've blocked and tagged the account.--Jezebel'sPonyo^{bons mots} 18:10, 22 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
