I listed an article (Flintzel Diao) for delete and RealProffesional Yes removed the AfD message twice [1] [2] before stopping. All three users' edits are related to the article and its AfD submission. All three users' user page is a copy of other people's user pages, while HereToHelpAlways is an exact copy of the Taylor Swift article. Caldorwards4 (talk) 09:51, 2 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Both user's edits are relating to the article Flintzel Diao, which Alex singersing created. They have been trying to get that article (which I listed for deletion on October 2) stopped from being deleted (see [3] and [4]). Before these two account appeared, five other sockpuppets were created. These were confirmed sockpuppets and blocked a few days ago (see here). Caldorwards4 (talk) 05:04, 8 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Obvious from the name (previous sock was Flint Diao (talk · contribs)). It appears the purpose of these accounts is to create hoax or fake userspace articles about people with this name. January (talk) 15:21, 14 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The following are   Confirmed matches to each other:

These accounts are creating/editing new variations of the Flint Diao/Flint Dale Diao hoaxes (see recent creations Flint Dale, FDale - previous versions Flint Diao, Flint Dale Diao, Flintzel Diao, Flint Diao (author)). The subjects of these articles have the same birth date but different careers (musician, author and now photographer), the articles are supported by references from what appear to be user-generated content sites. Sojdfsdf is requesting restoration at WP:REFUND [5], as some of the previous socks have done [6][7][8]. January (talk) 09:50, 1 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The following are   Confirmed matches to each other:

These are also coming up as   Confirmed to the above but look like fps, so please treat with caution or monitor these.

There were other accounts, but they don't look like them behaviorally, so I did not list them and the range they are editing from is quite busy. The non-group accounts look   Likely related to Alex. The user doesn't stay in one place apparently. I also wouldn't mind a second check. Elockid (Talk) 14:50, 1 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The account is editing through a proxy, but based on their UA and target subject, I would say it's related to the previous socks. Fortunately, didn't see any sleepers this time. Elockid (Talk) 13:29, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Recreated Dale S at different titles. Already blocked but given the history I would suggest a sleeper check. January (talk) 09:14, 8 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I was checking but my connection went down and Amalthea pipped me to the post. I agree with dealing with him that way too. WilliamH (talk) 23:27, 21 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Just to confirm - by all the IPs, you mean proxies, correct? Are these being blocked as the cases come in? — HelloAnnyong (say whaaat?!) 23:34, 21 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
No, nothing sophisticated, he is simply using several ranges with dynamic IP allocation and significant constructive contributions ("significant" compared to the damage caused by him at least). It may be a bit quieter the next days due to one additional short-term block, but another rangeblock was lifted yesterday due to collateral damage so we'll likely continue to play whack-a-mole for a while longer.

Still trying to create hoax singer articles, this time at Freezariah - would have missed it if they hadn't used the same picture from their last attempt on User:Unixpected (Singer). Oops. :) MikeWazowski (talk) 16:55, 29 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Created Fhraiah K about a Filipino blogger born in 1998, as did previous socks Slajkndjassdljfmks (talk · contribs) and Dsnfkjdsnfkjnsdkjf (talk · contribs). The username is random letters which is quite common for this user. January (talk) 14:05, 4 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
