Suspected sockpuppets

Subsequent to RobvanderWaal's block yesterday per the previous investigation, this account shows up. User:RUCloseYet? showed up to the Major depressive disorder article and immediately implemented the change Rinpoche was trying to argue (under various accounts). His only previous activity occurred during the period between Skirtopodes' block and the beginning of RvdW's activity.

I know it's not exactly flawless scientific method, but I'm also always suspicious of accounts whose first edit is to create their own userpage. Could someone take a look please? Basalisk ⁄berate 08:37, 10 April 2012 (UTC)

Updated on 13/4/2012. I'm adding User:LHirsig to the investigation based on behavioural evidence. As one example, see this diff in the same discussion. The writing style and arguments are identical to Skirtopodes. Basalisk ⁄berate 23:02, 12 April 2012 (UTC)

  • *Could've fooled me - in my experience with all 3 editors - Rinpoche, Skirtopedes and RobvanderWaal; I found Rob to be far more polite and reasonable; I'm surprised that he also went to complain about major depressive disorder - I was attacked by them as well for describing the painting as despair in the van Gogh article...Modernist (talk) 12:02, 10 April 2012 (UTC)

Thought this had been hanging around for long enough.

LHirsig is  Confirmed as User:Skirtopodes, which makes him a sock of Rinpoche.

And I have two more  Confirmed socks of Skirtopodes,

RUCloseYet? is  Likely on checkuser and  Sounds like a duck quacking into a megaphone to me, so I think time can be called on this account.--Elen of the Roads (talk) 00:19, 15 April 2012 (UTC)

– This SPI case is open.

user pages of one sock, and their own . Plus comments on my talk page. . There really is no effort to hide the fact that they are sockpuppets going on. Dennis Brown (talk) 15:58, 15 April 2012 (UTC)
