Evidence

These accounts have been seen votestacking AfD discussions [1] (including accounts signing comments for others) and have been creating hoax articles. The accounts have been editing the same group of articles, including Juan Jose Hernandez, Cash Money Millionaires and Kaiser Elementary School, as well as the two articles of theirs I deleted via AfD.

I have indef blocked the sockpuppets, will wait on the results here to take any action against the (suspected) puppetmaster.

Comments

My advice is to give a long block of definite duration, say 2 weeks to a month. That will convey the seriousness of the offense to this user, while acknowledging that it is a first offense, and he/she appears to be a young person (age 10-14, I would guess). An indefinite block can also be justified. Shalom (Hello • Peace) 03:22, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Conclusions

Other admin already blocked them, all but the master were tagged. — Rlevse • Talk • 01:26, 23 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
