Administrator note CU isn't necessary here. Per WP:DUCK I've blocked and tagged the sock. I've also blocked the master 3 days for edit warring (see their contribs) and for socking. — HelloAnnyong (say whaaat?!) 13:01, 24 July 2011 (UTC)

Discussion at ANI [1] has established beyond a doubt that User:NoHounding was part of the HaTikwa sockfarm, which is related to a (self-)promotion campaign for writer Michael Kühntopf. This person's named wikipedia account has been banned on other projects for related disruption, and has participated in the socks' reverting campaign at least once recently [2], so there are obvious grounds for suspecting he is the actual sockmaster behind HaTikwa. As this account has otherwise made some reasonable contributions, it might be characterized as a good-hand-bad-hand scheme. Since it's a real-name account of an identifiable person, I'd feel better about blocking if there was checkuser confirmation. Fut.Perf. ☼ 07:09, 25 September 2011 (UTC)

Clerk endorsed - Michael Kühntopf is a pretty old account, so I don't think it's a sock here; it is, though, clearly related to the rest of this. I'll endorse for confirmation of NoHounding, as well as to see if there are other acccounts related to the master. — HelloAnnyong (say whaaat?!) 13:21, 25 September 2011 (UTC)
Confirmed NoHounding is a straight match.- No direct check on Michael Kühntopf (talk · contribs), but this username consistently showed up during the sleeper checks and Confirmed a straight match.
- Also uncovered sleepers Fadder Abraham (talk · contribs), Sperrprüfung MK (talk · contribs) and Der Kolkrabe (talk · contribs) Confirmed
- All accounts blocked. - Mailer Diablo 14:02, 25 September 2011 (UTC)
- Interesting. Well, everyone's been blocked, so I'll close for now. — HelloAnnyong (say whaaat?!) 14:23, 25 September 2011 (UTC)
