  • Supporting evidence:

Soccermeko has been a relentless sockpuppeteer, creating unsourced articles about R&B and hip-hop personalities, notably Nicole Wray. He has a distinctive style of broken English that generally provides a strong clue. He has been getting smarter and smarter, though, and each sockpuppet tends to live a little longer than the previous ones.

Here he posts on the Nicole Wray discography page, wanting to know what is allowed in typical Soccermekoese. He goes on to claim that the previous Soccermeko edits were right. He never actually edits the page, though. I think he's gotten gun-shy.

Here, he creates a new album article, in that distinctive language again. Ultimately, it gets prodded, which he removes, and, once at AFD, lets loose with a personal attack that just screams Soccermeko to my ears. Kww (talk) 02:53, 23 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]


Soccermeko (Third request)

[edit]
  • Supporting evidence:

Blocked editor Soccermeko (blocked for sockpuppetry) obsessively edited Nicole Wray-related articles and created numerous crystal ball articles for unreleased albums, etc., switching to sockpuppets when blocked (and to !vote-stack) until eventually blocked indefinitely.

Staticj just appeared, and aimed for the Nicole Wray articles like a bee to honey. Writing style seems just enough different that I'm not willing to scream "obvious sock" without a checkuser to back me up. Kww (talk) 20:04, 25 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's possible that this is a genuine new user - but his/her unprompted denial of being a sockpuppet at Talk:Nicole Wray does bring Soccermeko's antics to mind... --Kurt Shaped Box (talk) 21:01, 25 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Soccermeko(2nd request)

[edit]
  • Supporting evidence:

Blocked editor Soccermeko (blocked for sockpuppetry) obsessively edited Nicole Wray-related articles and created numerous crystal ball articles for unreleased albums, etc., switching to sockpuppets when blocked (and to !vote-stack) until eventually blocked indefinitely. Evear78 has just popped up immediately creating Nicole Wray article for unreleased material. Please see Category:Wikipedia sockpuppets of Soccermeko and Category:Suspected Wikipedia sockpuppets of Soccermeko for more info. User appears to most often edit via Level 3 Communications in the Atlanta, Georgia area. Also requesting a check for any sleeper accounts. —Hello, Control Hello, Tony 01:52, 5 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Having been blocked from editing, the main user has been making similar edits through various IPs as detailed above, as well as creating ANOTHER suspected sockpuppet in order to evade his ban. The vast majority for all suspected puppet accounts are only on the three pages which compose the supporting evidence. He was blocked to stop adding this content, but he continues to violate the guideline as well as circumvent the block through his new puppet. Cloudz679 (talk) 08:50, 5 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

 Clerk note: considering that Nicolefan appeared 1 day after Soccermeko was blocked for sockpuppetry, blocked all the users indef. -- lucasbfr talk 16:37, 5 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
